CAREERS EDUCATION IMPORTANT IN PREPARING
PUPILS FOR ADULT LIFE
******
CAREERS EDUCATION SHOULD AIM NOT ONLY AT THE VERY IMPORTANT BUSINESS OF PREPARING PUPILS TO EARN A LIVING BUT ALSO AIM AT PREPARING THEM TO LIVE AS FULL A LIFE AS THEIR CAPABILITIES ALLOW, THE DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION, MR. KENNETH TOPLEY, SAID.
MR. TOPLEY WAS SPEAKING AT THE OPENING CEREMONY OF THE CAREERS MASTERS ANNUAL SEMINAR IN THE AUDITORIUM OF THE HANG SENG BANK ATTENDED BY ABOUT 150 PRINCIPALS AND CAREERS TEACHERS.
THE SEMINAR'S THEME WAS THE FORM 111 LEAVER.
HEADS OF SCHOOLS, MR. TOPLEY SAID, SHOULD REALISE THAT CAREERS EDUCATION WAS ́AN ESSENTIAL FUNCTION OF THE SCHOOL AND THAT THEY SHOULD SEEK EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO SPEND TIME IN THIS VERY IMPORTANT FIELD.
TEACHERS TOO SHOULD BE CONSCIOUS OF THIS VERY IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF SECONDARY EDUCATION AND BEING EXPERTS THEY ARE THE BEST PEOPLE TO EXPLAIN TO THEIR PUPILS THE CAREER POTENTIAL THAT EXISTS IN THEIR SUBJECT.
+THEY SHOULD FEEL THAT THE TEACHING OF THEIR SUBJECTS DOES NOT HAVE ITS NATURAL END OR DEATH FOR A PUPIL AFTER HE HAS TAKEN HIS LAST EXAMINATIONS IN THE SUBJECT.
*THE CAREERS TEACHER HAS, OF COURSE, A DEFINITE AND SPECIFIC ROLE IN CAREERS EDUCATION BUT FOR HIM TO FUNCTION SUCCESSFULLY HE NEEDS THE UNGRUDGING ASSISTANCE OF OTHER MEMBERS OF STAFF.
IN A WORD, CAREERS EDUCATION HEALTH EDUCATION
LIKE SOCIAL EDUCATION AND SHOULD BE A TOTAL SCHOOL EFFORT, MR. TOPLEY
SAID.
