The objectives of these initial courses of teacher
education are to train students to become qualified as
teachers of general subjects at the primary school
level and of three elective subjects to the level of
Form 3 in secondary schools.
Selection of students for entry to the colleges is
administered by the Colleges of Education Joint Selection
Board.
Selection Tests, Interviews and X-ray Examinations:
(a) Applicants are required to sit for a written
suitability test, to attend an interview and to
undergo an X-ray examination. ›
(b) Practical tests are conducted for applicants who
wish to study art/design, music or physical
education.
(c) Arrangements are made for applicants to the
Chinese Course wishing to study English as a
major or minor elective to take an oral
language test in English.
(d) As applicants normally greatly outnumber the
total places available and admission to the
colleges of education is selective, not all
applicants are invited for tests or interviews.
(e) The Joint Selection Board may exercise discretion
in favour of applicants considered especially
suitable for teaching by relaxing the normal
requirements for admission.
