Buddhist Yip Kei Nam Memorial College 3.18

Buddhist Yip Kei Nam Memorial College is the first secondary school on the Tsing Yi Island in the New Territories of Hong Kong. Located in Cheung Ching Estate, the school was founded by Hong Kong Buddhist Association in September, 1978 with buildings from Hong Kong Government and funds from Yip Hon, a tycoon in Hong Kong and Macau. The school was named after Yip Hon's father, Yip Kei Nam .The school is in adjacent to Father Cucchiara Memorial School, Cheung Chi Cheong Memorial Primary School and Ching Yeung House in Cheung Ching Estate.School Code (TYKNC)Like other schools, Yip Kei Nam provided its students a wide range of aspects in learning in the hope of achieving a comprehensive development for everyone. Furthermore, there were specific guides that students were told to follow. These items form a code and every student must abide by this. In 1990, the code was named "The Yip Kei Nam Code"(TYKNC in short). Every item in the code is derived from each first letter of the full school name. This was done by the school founders shortly after the founding of the school in 1978. Ban Youth Kingdom Numbness Manhood ColdnessThe Ban ElementThe ban element of the code stands for the authority of teachers and other staff. When this element was introduced, the founders aimed at the school being fostered into a harmonious and tranquil environment in which students learn and grow. This item in the code stated that teachers had the duty to keep students safe and sound and they must have the faith and courage to stop those who interrupted the process of learning. Those disturbers must be banned on sight so that students could learn well. However, as time passes by, It is clear that this yields a strong concept of status among both students and staff members. Some teachers turn abusive and power-hungry, ignoring the basic meaning of this code item.
