IN ADDITION, THE ADVISORY INSPECTORATE ALSO PROVIDES IN-SERVICE TRAINING OF SHORT DURATION BOTH ON A REGULAR AND ON AN OCCASSIONAL BASIS.
THIS INCLUDES PART-TIME COURSES, SEMINARS AND WORKSHOPS.
MR HAYE SAID THAT. FURTHERMORE, ORGANISATIONS LIKE THE HONG KONG ASSOCIATION FOR SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS EDUCATION AND THE TWO UNIVERSITIES ALSO ORGANISE A WIDE VARIETY OF IN-SERVICE TRAINING PROGRAMMES FOR TEACHERS.
SCHOOL-BASED
ON THE THEME OF THIS YEAR'S CONFERENCE IN-SERVICE EDUCATION FOR TEACHERS (INSET) -- MR HAYE SAID IT RIGHTLY PLACED EMPHASIS ON THE INDIVIDUAL SCHOOL AS A DOMINANT FACTOR IN THE PROCESS OF TEACHER EDUCATION.
HE SAID THAT SCHOOL-BASED INSET WAS A CO-OPERATIVE ACTIVITY AND TO BE FULLY EFFECTIVE, DEMANDED SKILLS WHICH WERE SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT FROM THOSE WHICH MANY TEACHERS HAD DEVELOPED THROUGH TRADITIONAL MODES OF THOUGHT.
+ INSET IS UNLIKELY TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN SCHOOLS WHERE TEACHERS OPERATE IN ISOLATION, MR HAYE SAID.

PUBLIC URGED TO SHOW MORE COMPASSION TO DRUG ADDICTS
******
THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF SOCIAL WELFARE, MRS ANSON CHAN, TODAY (SATURDAY) CALLED FOR A MORE TOLERANT AND COMPASSIONATE ATTITUDE+ TOWARDS DRUG ADDICTS,
SHE WAS SPEAKING AT THE 15TH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE ARITAS LOK HEEP CLUB, WHERE SHE PRESENTED BADGES OF MERIT TO DESERVING MEMBERS,
OVER THE YEARS, MRS CHAN SAID, MUCH HAD BEEN DONE TO STIMULATE PUBLIC AWARENESS OF THE EVILS OF DRUG ABUSE AND TO ENLIST THEIR INVOLVEMENT IN PUBLICITY CAMPAIGNS AND PREVENTIVE MEASURES.
I SUSPECT THAT MANY OF US MAY NOT CONSIDER THAT
+HOWEVERDICTS IS AS SOCIALLY OR EMOTIONALLY SATISFYING
AND REWARDING AS HELPING THE OLD, THE DISABLED OR ABUSED CHILDREN,+ SHE SAID.
MRS CHAN SAID THAT DRUG ADDICTION OFTEN RESULTED FROM A COMPLEX INTERPLAY OF SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND PSYCHOLOGICAL CAUSES RATHER THAN SIMPLE SELF-INDULGENCE.
IN ANY REHABILITATION PROCESS, SHE WENT ON, THE COMMUNITY
HAD TO BE WILLING TO COME TO THE AID OF THE VICTIMS.
THE AID COULD BE IN THE FORM OF EMPLOYMENT OFFERS, SOCIALISING OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE VICTIMS OR SIMPLE ACCEPTANCE OF AN
INDIVIDUAL'S RIGHT TO DIGNITY AND SELF-RESPECT.
