A IN THIS CONNECTION, THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT HAD TAKEN THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RECOMMENDATION AND CONDUCTED FAR-REACHING CONSULTATIONS ON THE SUGGESTED CODE OF PRACTICE, MR LEUNG SAID.
TO SEEK VIEWS AND SUGGESTIONS FROM THE TEACHING PROFESSION, HE SAID THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT HAD WRITTEN TO THE WIDEST POSSIBLE RANGE OF BODIES CONCERNED.
WHAT WERE BEING SOUGHT WERE THE VIEWS AND SUGGESTIONS ON THE POSSIBLE SCOPE, FORMAT AND CONTENTS OF SUCH A CODE AND THESE WOULD PROVIDE THE BASIC MATERIAL FOR A WORKING GROUP TO BE SET UP WITH REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE BODIES CONCERNED.
ON THE COMMISSION REPORT'S RECOMMENDATION TO SET UP REGIONAL TEACHERS' CENTRES TO ENCOURAGE EXCHANGE OF EXPERIENCE, TO PROMOTE CONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND ENRICHMENT, AND TO FOSTER AMONG TEACHERS A GREATER SENSE OF UNITY, MR LEUNG SAID THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE FIRST REGIONAL TEACHERS' CENTRE WAS NOW IN HAND.
