陳校長免費補習天地創辦人
Chan Hung, Founder of “Principal Chan Free Tutorial World”
陳葒校長創立「陳校長免費補習天地」前，曾任直資中學創校校長、香港直接資助學校議會秘書長、香港私立學校聯會副主席等教育職務。2009年，陳校長有感香港教育生態忽略了弱勢學生的學習權益，毅然辭去中學校長一職，放棄百萬年薪轉為教育義工，創立義補平台，為基層貧困學童提供免費補習服務和其他教育支援。
13年來，陳校長的無私精神感動超過24,000名有心人士成為義師，為全港21,000多位基層學生提供一對一義務補習，至今有超過1,000位學生在義師的協助下升讀大專院校。兩間地區中心亦服務5,000多位基層學生，每年超過100位學生在不同範疇展示機會、考獲級試及比賽獲獎，更有不少同學於兩岸三地升讀大學。陳校長同時憑長篇小說《青春出於籃》獲得香港中文文學雙年獎(青少年及兒童文學組)冠軍，以兒童文學春風化雨。

Prior to founding “Principal Chan Free Tutorial World”, Principal Chan Hung was the founding principal of a Direct Subsidy Scheme (DSS) secondary school, the Secretary-General of the Hong Kong DSS Council, and the Vice-Chairman of the Hong Kong Association of Private Schools. In 2009, feeling that Hong Kong’s educational system was neglecting the learning rights of disadvantaged students, Principal Chan resigned from his position as a secondary school principal, gave up a million-dollar salary, and became an educational volunteer. He established the free tutoring platform to provide free tutoring services and other educational support to underprivileged students.
Over the past 13 years, his selfless spirit has inspired over 24,000 dedicated individuals to become volunteer tutors. They have provided one-on-one voluntary tutoring to over 21,000 underprivileged students in Hong Kong, and over 1,000 students have gone on to higher education with their assistance. Additionally, his two community centres serve over 5,000 underprivileged students, and each year, over 100 students showcase their talents, achieve qualifications and awards in various fields. Many students have also pursued university education across Greater China. His novel “青春出於籃” won the Hong Kong Chinese Literature Biennial Award (Youth and Children’s Literature category), leveraging the power of children literature to make a positive impact.
