Until the 1950s, due to historical reasons, boat dwellers (Tanka people) rarely had the opportunity to receive an education. Inhabitants on the island had access to a traditional private school in 1925, while the Tin Hau Temple of Tung A village and the Catholic church of Pak A village also offered lessons. In 1947, a licence was issued and the name of "Leung Shuen Bay School" was confirmed. Fron them on, both Haka and Tanka people enjoyed equal right to education.
