Islamic Kasim Tuet Memorial College, secondary school in Hong Kong
Islamic Kasim Tuet Memorial College is a secondary school in the Chai Wan area of Eastern District in Hong Kong. The seven-story school building houses more than twenty classrooms, a library, guidance centers, playgrounds, basketball and cricket courts, with open spaces providing areas for student activities during breaks.
The school was founded in 1970 and was originally called Islamic College until it was renamed in 1997 to honor Kasim Tuet. This name change marked an important moment in the institution's history and its continued commitment to supporting education in the Muslim community.
The school was named after Kasim Tuet, a Hui Muslim who helped Chinese Muslims in the region gain access to quality education. The motto's four Chinese characters represent knowledge, academic excellence, compassion, and cooperation, values that shape daily life on campus.
Students from different parts of the city can use the school bus service, which departs from Kowloon and the New Territories, including areas like Tuen Mun, Yuen Long, and Shau Kei Wan. The school structures its program with grades from Secondary 1 to 6, with students in later years preparing for the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education or the IGCSE.
A former student named Ifzal Zaffar became known when he helped a man sitting on a crane by persuading him to come down by speaking to him in Urdu. Several graduates have achieved notable academic success, including Khan Uzma Nisa who scored excellently on her exams in 2017, and Bibi Tayyaba who received a scholarship to the University of Oxford in 2012 and now teaches English at a university in Hong Kong.
