Guidelines to help children adjust to local education
Subject guidelines have been issued to schools to help children recently arriving in Hong Kong from various parts of China adjust to the education provided in local schools.
The Curriculum Development Institute of the Education Department has produced two booklets on Chinese Language and English Language for teachers' use and reference.
The booklets give suggestions and directions on how to help students from China adjust to local school education.
A series of half-day seminars will be conducted in December to explain the concepts and strategies suggested for English Language.
School heads who wish to nominate teachers to attend the seminars should return completed nomination form to the Principal Inspector of the English Unit of the Education Department's Curriculum Development Institute by fax 2573 5299 or by mail to Room 1318, Wu Chung House, 213 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai on or before November 23.
Enquiries on the booklets should be directed to the Curriculum Development Institute of the Education Department on 2892 5876 or 2892 5893 for Chinese Language and 2892 5888 or 2892 5873 for English Language.
Meanwhile, the department has prepared two course outlines, on Mathematics and social adjustment for the institutions and tutors who wish to conduct induction programmes for Mathematics and social adjustment.
