Background of co-organiser
Jockey Club Neo Education Lab
Jockey Club Neo Education Lab, a brand new project under Principal Chan Free Tutorial World, was established in September, 2016. It is an open platform which brings together education enthusiasts for investigating and experimenting innovative educational ideas. Ultimately, we hope to broaden our community and parents’ imagination for diverse education models instead of an exam-oriented one for the betterment of the young through dialogue in seminars and workshops, as well as through other programs run by our organization, such as camps, magazine publication and so on.

Project details
My-The first parent magazine about revising the educational ecology of Hong Kong.
This bi-monthly parent magazine aims to promote the importance to change the exam-oriented education ecology in Hong Kong, to demonstrate how to and what we can actually do to change. We see parents as an important community to initiate this change. Once parents understand the need for change and have the correct attitude towards education, they will realize their rights and abilities, and strive for the most favourable education system for their children. We hope to mobilize parents and the public to pressurize the schools or even the government to answer the need for change in our education system.
Participants in this project will have the chance to interview local and overseas schools, education organizations, teachers and parents to learn more about up-to-date pedagogies.
【全港第一本為了糾正香港教育生態而出版的家長雜誌〈我的〉正式面世】
家長最關心自己的子女成長，而教育最和他們的子女成長相關，所以家長是最關心教育的一群。
如果家長有了正確的教育心態，並且意識到自己的權利和能力，他們就一定會向政府向學校爭取最有利於他們孩子的教育制度，爭取可以讓他們子女最理想成長的教學模式。如果家長的教育訴求形成了強大的輿論和市場力量，那麼學校乃至政府也不得不有所回應。
也不是每一所香港學校都不思進取。不少校長和教師也很不滿意目前這個扭曲的教育生態，都想擺脫應試教育的枷鎖。他們也有心推行創新教學法和多元課程，但又擔心家長不能接受，會影響招生，影響生存，故此不敢嘗試，或不敢盡情去嘗試。如果家長都有變革應試教育之心，校長和老師就少了很多顧忌，就更容易創新求變，更放心地為學生提供更全面更切合未來社會需要的學校教育。
這本〈我的〉家長教育雜誌，就是希望使家長都能明白糾正應試教育生態之必要，也都能明白要如何糾正，並且如何以自己的實際行動和大家一起來糾正。
〈我的〉希望，香港扭曲多年的教育生態，會因此慢慢地糾正過來。
