Tung Wah College
Tung Wah Group's education service could be traced back to 1880, when Chung Wah College (中華書院) established adjacent to Man Mo Temple (文武廟) on Hollywood Road. Chung Wah College provided free education to the property and the school was funded by the donation received from the Man Mo Temple.
Tung Wah College (TWC) (東華學院) is a self-financing tertiary education institution established by Tung Wah Group of Hospitals (TWGHs) which is the oldest and largest charitable organisation in Hong Kong providing a wide range of medical and health, education and community services to fulfil the needs of the society. The College went through the Institutional Review (IR) by the Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications (HKCAAVQ) in 2010 and is registered under the Post-Secondary College Ordinance (Cap. 320) as an approved self-financing degree granting institution.
