BRIGHTON SEMINAR SHOWS GREAT INTEREST
IN HONG KONG'S EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Exchange Of Views By Participants From 24 Countries
Great interest in Hong Kong's educational developments has been
shown in Brighton by participants at the recent five-week seminar on "Problems
of Educational Planning."
"They were particularly interested in the plans for the expansion
of post-primary education and the E.T.V. service," the Deputy Director of
Education (Professional), Mr. N.M. Ho said today.
Mr. Ho returned to Hong Kong a few days ago after attending the
seminar at the Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex.
The seminar was largely designed for those working in the educational
field in developing countries and emphasis was laid on both primary and
secondary education.
"I consider attendance on the seminar a stimulating and valuable
experience," said Mr. Ho, "as it enabled me to exchange views with educational
planners from many countries and identify their educational problems some of
which are of relevance to Hong Kong.
"I am sure what I have gleaned from the seminar will be of use to me
in my work," Mr. Ho added.
There were altogether 26 participants representing 24 countries, most
of which are members of the Commonwealth.
