CLP Power donates iPads to 2,100 underprivileged students in fifth e-learning scheme
CLP Power launched its fifth E-Learning Assistance Programme, donating iPads to over 2,100 students from low-income families. The programme includes an AI workshop and is funded by the CLP Community Energy Saving Fund, which allocated HK$270 million in 2026 for community support.
CLP Power Hong Kong Limited has launched its E-Learning Assistance Programme for the fifth consecutive year, providing iPads to over 2,100 students from underprivileged families. The students were nominated by the Subsidised Primary Schools Council, the Association of Hong Kong Chinese Middle Schools, the Vocational Training Council, and the College of Professional and Continuing Education of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
CLP Power chief corporate development officer Quince Chong said the programme aims to equip students in need with devices and give them equal learning opportunities. “We hope this program will equip students in need with the right devices and give them equal learning opportunities, so they can make the most of diverse learning resources, broaden their horizons, and explore new possibilities for the future,” Chong said.
Kan Wai-hung, chairman of programme partner the Association of Hong Kong Chinese Middle Schools, noted that having their own digital device gives students flexibility to build on classroom learning. He emphasised that as technology advances rapidly, students need more opportunities to use digital tools and build essential 21st-century skills such as self-directed learning, innovation, and problem-solving.
CLP Power also organised an AI workshop for some beneficiary students, showing how AI and digital technology can support learning. Mok Hiu-yin, a student from HKTA The Yuen Yuen Institute No.1 Secondary School who took part, said the iPad, online tools, and self-learning skills acquired had boosted his confidence in learning.
The programme is funded by the CLP Community Energy Saving Fund. In 2026, HK$270 million has been allocated from the fund to continue launching community support programmes assisting the elderly and the underprivileged.
