Recently, there has been more and more artists starting businesses in
education. Following Winnie Young and Kayi Cheung opening schools, 2005
Mr. Hong Kong winner Matthew Ko invested over HK$500,000 to establish a
children interests training school and becomes a principal. He expressed
he had the idea 5 years ago, but he didn't have the determination to
actually implement the idea. Coincidentally he is now resting from his
leg injury and has to put his on-screen work on hiatus, thus he has the
time to establish the new school. "I love kids and hope to use different
methods to help them advance in their education. Also, there are more
and more parents willing to contribute money to let their children learn
different things. So, I decided to start this school. It is estimated
to start operations in September."
However, Matthew stressed he
will not be teaching the children, "I will be designing the school
uniforms, curriculum, the renovation and interior design of the school,
but I won't be an instructor because I will still continue my on-screen
work. As for the teachers/instructors, the professionals will be
responsible for that. In fact, the most memorable in the progress of
setting up this school was that I hired good teachers. Not only do they
have a loving heart, they are also good at conveying. I interviewed
about 10 applicants and hired 4 of them. They will be teaching courses
in music, stage play and dance."
