SECONDARY SCHOOLS URGED TO APPOINT CAREERS MASTERS
******
THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT HAS REPEATED ITS REQUEST TO HEADS OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS TO CONTINUE APPOINTING A TEACHER IN THEIR SCHOOLS AS CAREERS MASTER AND TO JOIN THE HONG KONG ASSOCIATION OF CAREERS MASTERS.
ACCORDING TO MR. ROBERT CAMERON, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION (SECONDARY), THE ASSOCIATION +IS PLAYING AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN PROMOTING CAREERS WORK IN SCHOOLS AND HAS PRODUCED MUCH VALUABLE INFORMATION ON EDUCATIONAL AND OCCUPATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE IN HONG KONG,+
IN ENCOURAGING THIS IMPORTANT WORK OF PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL AND VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE TO PUPILS, MR. CAMERON EXPRESSED THE HOPE THAT SCHOOL HEADS WOULD APPOINT A TEACHER WHO WAS IN FREQUENT CONTACT WITH PUPILS IN THE UPPER FORMS AND WHO SHOWED GENUINE CONCERN FOR THE WELL-BEING OF YOUNG PEOPLE.
+ONCE APPOINTED, A CAREERS MASTER SHOULD BE GIVEN EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO CARRY OUT HIS WORK WITH MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY,+ MR. CAMERON TOLD THE PRINCIPALS IN A CIRCULAR.
THE TEACHER APPOINTED SHOULD BE ALLOTED A FEW ADDITIONAL NON-TEACHING PERIODS A WEEK TO ENABLE HIM TO INTERVIEW INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS AND TO ORGANISE CAREERS ACTIVITIES. HE SHOULD ALSO BE ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND SEMINARS, TALKS AND VISITS ARRANGED BY THE HONG KONG ASSOCIATION OF CAREERS MASTERS.
MR. CAMERON REQUESTED SCHOOL HEADS TO ENCOURAGE CAREERS MASTERS TO INITIATE CAREERS ADVISORY WORK IN THE STUDENTS' SCHOOL LIFE AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE.
+THE CAREERS SECTION OF THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT, + HE SAID, +IS ALWAYS READY TO ASSIST SCHOOLS TO ORGANISE CAREERS ACTIVITIES FOR THEIR STUDENTS AND TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE THAT SCHOOLS MAY REQUIRE IN PROVIDING CAREERS ADVISORY SERVICE TO THEIR STUDENTS.+
THE CAREERS OFFICER IS MR. TSE TAK-ON WHO IS ALSO SECRETARY OF THE ASSOCIATION OF CAREERS MASTERS.
THOSE SECONDARY SCHOOLS WHICH HAVE NOT YET JOINED THE ASSOCIATION AND WISH TO DO SO ARE URGED TO APPOINT CAREERS MASTERS AND SEND THEIR NAMES TO MR. TSE TOGETHER WITH A REQUEST FOR MEMBERSHIP AND $10 ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP FEE.
MR. TSE'S OFFICE IS IN THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT'S HEADQUARTERS, LEE GARDENS, 3RD FLOOR, HYSAN AVENUE, CAUSEWAY BAY, HONG KONG.
