HK needs broad education system
Mrs Patten congratulated the English Schools Foundation on their commitment and professionalism in providing all-round education for students.
The international schools offered to students a relaxed and stimulating atmosphere, with a broad curriculum and equal emphasis on a wide range of extra-curricular activities.
At the opening ceremony of its sixth art exhibition today (Wednesday), she said: "This helps not only their intellectual and social development but brings out the creativity all children are born with."
Hong Kong needs a broad education system where each student is helped to achieve not just their personal best in academic subjects but also in other areas such as arts, music and literature.
"This art exhibition is a good example of their philosophy put into practice," she said.
Mrs Patten encouraged the young artists to continue to develop their potential, and expressed her gratitude to the teachers for their hard work.
