Pui Kiu Middle School


Pui Kiu Middle School is a pro-Chinese Central Government secondary school in Hong Kong. Located in the Eastern District area of North Point, it has attracted controversy. The school uses Chinese language as a medium of instruction.

History

The school was founded in 1946 by overseas Chinese investors from Southeast Asia and elsewhere, originally in Pui Kiu Lang Park. In the 1980s it relocated to its current location in Braemar Hill.

Controversy

When the People's Republic of China was established in 1949, the school announced that it would uphold Communist disciplines in its curriculum. This placed a severe strain on relations between the school and the colonial Hong Kong government, as well as with the local population, whose political opinion tended towards anti-communism.
In the late 1970s, the Hong Kong government, under the education laws, took over the school and reorganized it.

Present day

Currently, Pui Kiu Middle School is part of the Direct Subsidy Scheme. The campus features a swimming pool, student dormitories, laboratories, computer rooms, classrooms, an indoor dining hall, an auditorium, a library and an indoor stadium.
