This year marks the 10th anniversary of BCT Next Academy (formerly known as BCT Third Age Academy). Over the years, we offer tuition fee discounts and subsidies to eligible persons enrolling in the courses offered by the Elder Academy of the Open University of Hong Kong ("OUHK"). In July, 120 students received Lifelong Learning Certificates at the 9th graduation ceremony of the Elder Academy of OUHK. As of the school term ended in May 2019, we sponsored 5,986 student enrolments to help them make a first step towards fun lifelong learning.
