Hong Kong's Pioneering Ta Teh Institute Exhibition Opens

An exhibition about the Ta Teh Institute, a pioneering Hong Kong school for national talent in the early 1940s, has opened at the Hong Kong Museum of History. The exhibition, titled 'National Development and Achievements Series: Cultivation and Renewal – The Education Legacy of Hong Kong’s Ta Teh Institute', will run until February 15 next year.

The Ta Teh Institute was established in 1946 in Tuen Mun during the Chinese Civil War. It was the second university to be established in Hong Kong after the University of Hong Kong, and it played a significant role in nurturing talent for the country.
