Stanley Prison inmates received certificates
Seventy-six inmates of Stanley Prison received their certificates at a presentation ceremony held today (Friday) at the prison after having recently passed various public examinations.
One of the recipients has scored the best result in accounting, beating over 2,000 entrants world-wide in the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry Examination and coming first in cost accounting. Three inmates received Full Technological Certificate of the City and Guilds of London Institute which is equivalent to a diploma in electronic engineering.
The Head of Secretariat and Corporate Affairs of the Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club (RHKJC), Mr David Yau, officiated at the presentation ceremony.
The RHKJC donated $1.01 million to the Prisoners' Education Trust Fund in April this year.
The Fund was set up to encourage prisoners to obtain better educational qualifications while in prison and to better prepare them for reintegration into community upon their release.
