CALL FOR ACTIVE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN HOME AND SCHOOL

****

THE DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION, MR COLVYN HAYE, TODAY (SATURDAY) URGED FOR A MORE ACTIVE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN HOME AND SCHOOL FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR CHILDREN.

MR HAYE WAS SPEAKING AT THE OPENING OF THE SEMINAR ON ETV-FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION ENRICHMENT SERIES.

HE FELT IT IMPORTANT FOR A SCHOOL TO KEEP PARENTS FULLY INFORMED AND TO GIVE THEM AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO BE INVOLVED IN SCHOOL AFFAIRS IF THEY SO WISHED.

+EVEN A RUDIMENTARY PARENT-TEACHER ORGANISATION COULD PERFORM AN IMPORTANT SERVICE TO BOTH THE PARENTS AND THE SCHOOL AND I SEE AN IMPORTANT NEED FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF MORE PARENT-TEACHER ORGANISATIONS IN HONG KONG WITHIN THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE,+ MR HAYE

SAID.

TURNING TO FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION, HE SAID THE DEPARTMENT HAD MADE A VALUABLE CONTRIBUTION IN RECENT YEARS THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF ACCEPTABLE SYLLABUSES IN SCHOOLS.

HOWEVER, TEACHERS ARE NOT THE ONLY PEOPLE TO PLAY A VITAL PART IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A CHILD'S PERSONALITY AND SOCIAL TRAINING. PARENTS TOO HAVE A KEY ROLE.

+FAMILY LIFE WILL DETERMINE THE EXTENT TO WHICH A CHILD FEELS SECURE AND THE QUALITY OF HOME LIFE IS ALL IMPORTANT TO THE PATTERN OF A CHILD'S BEHAVIOUR NOT SO MUCH IN MATERIAL COMFORTS BUT IN THE REALISATION OF LOVE, STABILITY AND TRUST,+ MR HAYE SAID.
