Education Department officers will be available to answer questions on TOC from visitors daily between noon and 7 pm.
The roving exhibition represents part of the Education Department's effort to inform the teachers and members of the public about the concept and benefits of TOC which will be fully implemented in Primary 1 classes in Hong Kong in September next
year.
Also starting tomorrow will be a total of 83 district seminars on TOC for parents in 14 locations throughout the territory.

"Teachers and other members of the public are strongly encouraged to visit the exhibition to get a picture of the new initiative that will affect the learning of young school children in Hong Kong," the spokesman said.
"In particular, parents of Kindergarten 3 pupils who have to select schools for their children by March 13, 1995 for central allocation of Primary 1 places are advised to visit the exhibition."
