SCHOOLS HOLD ECONOMIC AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS EXHIBITION

Members of the public will be able to see how students understand

current issues by attending a three-day Economic and Public Affairs Project

Exhibition in the main concourse of the Ocean Terminal from Saturday (July 14).

"Its aim is to stimulate pupils' awareness and interest in the

needs of the community," a spokesman for the Education Department said today.

The Northcote and Sir Robert Black Colleges of Education as well as

22 secondary and middle schools are taking part in the exhibition which will

feature drawings, charts, photographs, articles and models.

The colleges and schools were invited last November to make preparations

for the exhibition, with the choice of topics and the number of participating

classes left to the discretion of the teachers.

The exhibits by students of the two colleges of education will show

"Aids to learning in economic and public affairs" and "Teaching E.P.A.

through activities".

The topics chosen by the other schools include housing, transport, traffic, pollution, juvenile delinquency, trade, tourism, agriculture, fisheries,

adoption and the role of youth.

The exhibition, organised by the Economic and Public Affairs Section

of the Education Department, will be opened by Mr. N.M. Ho, Deputy Director

of Education, at 12 noon on Saturday.
