The Islamic Kasim Tuet Memorial College is a secondary school in Chai Wan, Hong Kong. It was formerly known as the Islamic English College.[1] It is named for Kasim Tuet, a Hui Muslim who played a major role in the development of Chinese Muslim education in the city. Despite the name, Muslims comprise only about 10% of the student body.[2] It has a high proportions of non-Chinese mother tongue students—nearly half, as of 2010.[3] It is also one of five schools in Hong Kong with a high concentration of South Asian students.[4]
Controversy
In 2002, IKTMC's principal Yusuf Yu (羽智雲) was accused of employing English teachers without visas, and removed from his position; he regained his position in 2003.[1][5] In 2012 he announced that he would retire, ending his 30 years of service.[6]
Transportation
The college is accessible within walking distance North East from Chai Wan Station of the MTR.
