Description
嶺南教育在香港的發展可追溯至1922年，由時任廣州嶺南大學副監督鍾榮光博士倡議在香港設立小學，委派司徒衛先生聯同一眾居港校友，組織校董會及籌募經費，1922年2月16日香港嶺南分校正式開課，創校學生人數66名，為嶺南教育在港發展之先聲。該校輾轉發展為今日的嶺南中學，並於新中國成立後由在港嶺南人成立的嶺南中學有限公司接辦。嶺南中學有限公司亦於1969年與創辦今日嶺南大學的嶺南書院有限公司合併成為「嶺南教育機構」。
Lingnan Education in Hong Kong traces its origins back to 1922 when Dr. Chung Wing Kwong, the Vice-President of Canton Christian College at the time, advocated to establish a primary school in Hong Kong. He delegated Mr. Szto Wai to form a school management committee in collaboration with local gentries and merchants, and to raise funds. Classes officially commenced on 16 February 1922p with a total of 66 new students. This school gradually transformed into Lingnan Middle School and put under the stewardship of Lingnan Middle School Ltd. which was then merged with Lingnan College Ltd. in 1969 to become Lingnan Education Organization (LEO).
