FIELD DAY FOR TEACHERS
***
THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT HAS ORGANISED A SERIES OF SMALL GROUP DISCUSSIONS FOR TEACHERS FROM AIDED PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS TO MEET WITH ITS STAFF TO FURTHER IMPROVE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE TWO PARTIES.
THE DISCUSSIONS WILL PROVIDE TEACHERS WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS THEIR VIEWS FREELY AND SPONTANEOUSLY IN AN INFORMAL SETTING, AN EDUCATION DEPARTMENT SPOKESMAN SAID.
THE TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION WERE CHOSEN FROM SUGGESTIONS SENT IN BY PARTICIPATING TEACHERS, HE SAID.
OF COMMON INTEREST TO BOTH PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS ARE TEACHER-CLASS RATIO, THE REPORT BY THE STANDING COMMISSION ON CIVIL SERVICE SALARIES AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE. LEAVE, PROVIDENT FUND, AND MORAL AND SEX EDUCATION.
IN ADDITION, PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS WILL DISCUSS GRANT FOR EXTRA-CURRICULAR DUTIES, AND FULL-DAY PRIMARY SESSIONS.
SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS WILL BE DISCUSSING EQUAL FRINGE BENEFITS FOR TEACHERS IN GOVERNMENT AND AIDED SCHOOLS, JUVENILE CRIME AND THE PROBLEM OF REPEATERS.
THE GROUP DISCUSSIONS WILL BE CONDUCTED IN CANTONESE, AND EACH GROUP WILL BE CHAIRED BY A SENIOR OFFICER OF THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT.
ABOUT 950 TEACHERS ARE EXPECTED TO TAKE PART IN THE DISCUSSIONS, WHICH WILL BE IN 29 GROUPS, AT THE VARIOUS CENTRES ON FRIDAY (MARCH 20).
