退休人士組補習社 助末代會考生
退休精算師冼永生早前和朋友唐德彰醫生自發組織非牟利機構「濟學社」，與全港5間中學合作，供末代會考生免費上濟學社會考「速成班」，協助他們迎戰會考
舊學制末代會考已開鑼，考生下月起應考主科，有退休精算師及教育界人士眼見不少末代會考生為前路徬徨，早前自發組成非牟利補習社「濟學社」，協助考生備戰。濟學社與全港5間中學合作，末代會考生可免費上其「速成班」，重點溫習英文、數學及理科科目，為會考作最後衝刺。
與5中學合作 免費供速成班
隨三三四新高中學制於本學年推行，本屆中學會考將成末代會考，若考生未能升讀中六，亦難以原校重讀中五課程，令不少考生憂慮出路。60多歲的退休精算師冼永生與現職醫生的唐德彰有見及此，遂發起濟學社（Grace Tutors），邀請身邊已退休的朋友加入成為導師，包括退休的中學校長及副校長等，至今已近20人，濟學社正申請註冊成非牟利機構。
經唐德彰四出籌募經費，濟學社獲退休銀行高層捐款10萬元維持濟學社運作，例如付車馬費予導師等。唐德彰並透過教會的聯繫，與全港5間主要錄取第二組別及第三組別學生的中學合作，由學校推介學生參加濟學社的會考「速成班」，每班約10多人，均屬成績稍遜、來自基層家庭的學生。
「速成班」涵蓋科目包括英文、數學、物理、化學及生物，每班由一至兩名導師到校教授學生。冼永生以他教授的數學科舉例，導師會在「速成班」首兩堂與學生重點複習中四、中五課程的公式，之後數堂供學生自由提問，例如數式解難方式等，導師可個別教授，協助考生解難。
退休精算師教數學 盼薪火相傳
除末代會考生，冼永生表示，濟學社針對向教育改革下受影響的學生提供補習，例如末代高考生、首屆文憑試考生等，現正草擬未來數年的計劃書，有待落實。
於2007年退休後生活無憂的冼永生，原本大可以四處旅行享受人生，但他選擇每周數天到不同學校替學生補習，冀餘生將從前所學薪火相傳，啟發學生自學。他說：「我很樂意與學生分享知識，以後說不定我如高錕般患上老人癡呆症，連自己的身體也無法照顧時，再要幫其他人就已太遲。」
