School-based curriculum projects exhibition
A total of 43 school-based curriculum projects undertaken by 36 schools will be displayed in an exhibition at the Hong Kong Teachers' Centre on Saturday (December 10) and from December 12 to 14.
These projects, involving the participation of 92 teachers, are designed to adapt the centrally designed curriculum to match the needs and abilities of their students.
A spokesman for the Education Department said: "School-based Curriculum Project Scheme organised by the department with the support of the Curriculum Development Council has been launched since 1988 to encourage the development of school-based curriculum."
The scheme not only encourages teachers to adapt the centrally designed curriculum into forms of educational experiences appropriate to the ability and specific needs of students in their schools but also helps to enhance the professionalism of teachers.
Under the 1993-94 School-based Curriculum Project Scheme, a total of 43 projects, among which three are at kindergarten level, 10 at primary level and 30 at secondary level, are of exceptionally good quality.
The Director of Education, Mr Dominic S W Wong, will present letters of appreciation to participating teachers who completed the projects with satisfactory results in an opening ceremony on Saturday (December 10).
Also attending the ceremony will be Chairman of the Curriculum Development Council,
Mr Kenneth Ting; Chairman of the School-based Curriculum Project Scheme Advisory Committee, Dr Tam Man-kwan; and Chief Executive of the Curriculum Development Institute, Dr Leung Yat-ming.
The projects will be displayed at the Hong Kong Teachers' Centre, Pak Fuk Road, on December 10 (between 11 am and 6 pm) and from December 12 to 14 (between 9 am and 6 pm).
