請支持 #融樂會，關注香港少數族裔教育
10月17日是 ＃國際消除貧困日。根據《少數族裔貧窮狀況報告》（2016年），香港五分之一的少數民族生活在貧困線以下。 他們中有64.7％生活在勞動家庭中，比總貧困人口高出約15％。 由於較低的受教育程度和的技能水平而導致的低收入是造成工作貧困的主要原因。 較低的中文水平亦阻礙了他們的就業能力和社區融合。為了解決世代相傳的貧困問題，香港融樂會致力於增加少數民族兒童獲得優質和公平教育的機會。

17th October is the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty.
According to the Poverty Situation Report of Ethnic Minorities (2016), one in five ethnic minorities in Hong Kong lived below the poverty line. 64.7% of them lived in working households, about 15% higher than the overall poor population. Lower employment earnings due to lower educational attainment and skill levels of employed persons were the major causes of working poverty. Having lower Chinese proficiency hindered their employability and community integration.
To tackle inter-generational poverty, Hong Kong Unison has worked tirelessly to increase ethnic minority children’s access to quality and equitable education, including calling on the Education Bureau to
monitor racial discrimination at kindergarten admissions,
abolish racially segregated “designated” primary and secondary schools for non-Chinese speaking students, and
provide additional support in Chinese learning for ethnic minority children in mainstream schools.
Hong Kong Unison firmly believes education can help lift this vulnerable group out of poverty towards upward mobility.
Support Unison – act together now to empower ethnic minority children, their families and communities to end poverty!
All funding received will go towards Unison’s advocacy project “Equitable Education for All”.
