Placement service for teachers
The placement service of the Education Department to help redundant teachers in aided primary schools obtaining new teaching posts will start tomorrow (Thursday).
A senior education officer, Mr C W Tsui said: "These teachers were usually made redundant by the drop in enrolment in their schools, reduction of classes owing to redevelopment of housing estates and people moving from urban area to new towns."
The department has helped some 7,450 redundant teachers in securing new teaching posts over the past years.
"We will continue to give these teachers full assistance this year. Our 100 per cent success rate over the past years owes much to the support and co-operation of school heads and school management committees for which the department is most grateful," Mr Tsui said.
