CO-OPERATION OF PARENTS AND TEACHERS URGED
*****
THE ACTING DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION, MR. BASIL BOARD, TODAY (FRIDAY) MADE AN APPEAL TO TEACHERS AND PARENTS TO FOSTER GREATER CO-OPERATION AND MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING FOR THE BENEFIT OF STUDENTS DURING THEIR FORMATIVE SCHOOL YEARS.
SPEAKING AT THE PO LEUNG KUK NO. 1 COLLEGE SPEECH DAY. MR. BOARD SAID THAT PUPILS NEEDED NOT ONLY THE DOUBLE ENCOURAGEMENT OF PARENTS AND TEACHERS BUT THAT PARENTS AND TEACHERS ALSO NEEDED EACH OTHERS' ACTIVE SUPPORT AS WELL.
HOME AND SCHOOL VISITS, BY INDIVIDUAL TEACHERS AND PARENTS, HE ADDED, WERE VITAL IN DEALING WITH THE WELFARE OF CERTAIN CHILDREN.
+OF COURSE, THIS ITSELF REQUIRES THE DEVOTION OF TIME AND ENERGY TIME AND ENERGY WHICH COULD BE SPENT ON OTHER USEFUL BUT LESS PERSONAL ACTIVITIES. BUT I AM CONVINCED THAT THE BUILDING OF THESE RELATIONSHIPS WILL BE FOUND IMMENSELY VALUABLE.
+AND IT IS NOT JUST THE PUPILS WHO WILL BENEFIT THE PARENTS WILL RESPOND TO THE ASSURANCE OF A CARING SCHOOL, AND THE TEACHERS WILL FIND THEIR EFFORTS WORTHWHILE AND REWARDING, MR. BOARD SAID.
