The Macau Polytechnic Institute (IPM) opened a Taipa branch of its Seniors Academy (ACS) yesterday that will provide a four-year study programme in conjunction with its counterpart on the Macau peninsula campus next year tailor-made for the elderly.
A formal opening ceremony was held on the first floor of the Taipa Chun Su Mei Community Centre where IPM’s second Seniors Academy is located, in Taipa Village. Secretary for Social Affairs and Culture Alexis Tam Chon Weng and other government officials were among the attendees.
IPM President Marcus Im Sio Kei said at the opening ceremony that more and more senior citizens are keen to learn and have become more demanding about the quality of the courses.
