WORTHWHILE SYLLABUSES FOR JUNIOR SECONDARY FORMS
******
THE DEPUTY CHIEF INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS, MR. ALEC REEVE SAID TODAY THAT IT WAS VITAL THAT TEACHERS AND HEADS OF SCHOOLS AS WELL AS EDUCATION DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS SHOULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE DESIGNING OF WORTHWHILE SYLLABUSES FOR FORMS 1 TO 3 NOW THAT HONG KONG WAS ON THE VERGE OF PROVIDING AIDED SECONDARY EDUCATION FOR ALL.
MR. REEVE WAS SPEAKING AT THE OPENING OF A TWO-DAY SOCIAL STUDIES PROJECT EXHIBITION AT ST. STEPHEN'S COLLEGE IN STANLEY.
THE PURPOSE OF THE EXHIBITION WAS TO SHARE WITH OTHER TEACHERS THE EXPERIENCE OF MISS KITTY CHIANG, A TEACHER OF SOCIAL STUDIES, AND HER PUPILS AND TO STIMULATE OTHER TEACHERS IN OTHER SCHOOLS TO MOUNT SIMILAR EXHIBITIONS.
+ANOTHER PURPOSE BEHIND THE EXHIBITION IS TO ENCOURAGE TEACHERS TO HELP SHAPE THE SYLLABUS AND CURRICULUM OF FORMS 1 TO 3 IN OUR SECONDARY SCHOOLS,+ MR. REEVE SAID.
ALTHOUGH MISS CHIANG AND HER PRINCIPAL. MR. LUKE YIP HAD RESERVATIONS ABOUT THE NEW SYLLABUS, THEY HAD THE INITIATIVE AND COURAGE TO ADOPT IT.
-
WITH NO TEXTBOOK OF SOCIAL STUDIES AVAILABLE AND WITH THE SYLLABUS ATTEMPTING TO INTEGRATE TO SOME EXTENT FOUR SUBJECTS HISTORY, GEOGRAPHY, ECONOMIC AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS AND HEALTH EDUCATION - MISS CHIANG QUICKLY GOT THE MAIN MESSAGE OF THE NEW SYLLABUS WHICH WAS THE ADOPTION OF A FLEXIBLE APPROACH IN THE TEACHING OF THE MAIN AREA OF THE FORM 1 SYLLABUS, MR. REEVE SAID.
ST. STEPHEN'S IS ONE OF THE 15 MONITORED SCHOOLS IMPLEMENTING THE PROVISIONAL SYLLABUS FOR SOCIAL STUDIES ON A TEJAL BASIS.
THE EXHIBITION'S THEME IS +KNOWING YOURSELF AND YOUR ENVIRONMENT+ A MAJOR AREA OF STUDY IN THE FORM 1 PROVISIONAL SY LABUS FOR SOCIAL STUDIES.
