MR HAYE EXPLAINED THAT 86 PER CENT OF ALL SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN HONG KONG HAD A FORMALISED CAREERS PROGRAMME AND A TEAM OF CAREERS TEACHERS, AND THE TRAINING COURSE HAD BEEN SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR THEM SO THAT THEY WOULD BE WELL EQUIPPED FOR THE IR TASK.
AND THIS YEAR WAS PARTICULARLY APPROPRIATE FOR PROMOTING THE TRAINING OF CAREERS TEACHERS BECAUSE THE PROVISION OF AN ADDITIONAL GRADUATE TEACHER FOR EACH STANDARD-SIZED AIDED AND GOVERNMENT SECONDARY SCHOOL IN SEPTEMBER WOULD MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR SCHOOLS TO MAKE MORE TIME AVAILABLE TO THE IR CAREERS TEACHERS.
FOLLOWING THE SPEECHES, THE COURSE COMMENCED WITH DR M.P. LAM AND MISS ADA WONG, BOTH CO-ORDINATORS OF THE COURSE, CONDUCTING AN INTRODUCTORY SESSION FOR PARTICIPANTS.
