Every year, the Institute welcomes on board a number of mature students as new entrants to the teaching profession. Amounting to around 3% of the total student intake, they are often people who have chosen to turn a new leaf in life because of an overwhelming aspiration to become a professional teacher.
After the 2004 Scholarship Presentation Ceremony, Joy of Learning spoke to two of them whose aspirations to become teachers had taken them on different life paths.

Before studying in the Institute, Suen Ka-chun had already been awarded his PhD in anatomy and was engaged in much-coveted and highly-paid university research work. Inspired by religious belief, Ka-chun determined to change to a career that he felt truly builds life, and he applied for the Institute's postgraduate diploma programme in education.
