DIRECTORATE OFFICERS OF THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT WILL PAY GOODWILL VISITS TO ALL PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DAY SCHOOLS IN HONG KONG FROM THIS NEW SCHOOL YEAR TO ESTABLISH CLOSER TIES WITH THE SCHOOL MANAGEMENTS AND TEACHERS AND TO GAIN FIRST-HAND INFORMATION ABOUT THE OPERATION OF SCHOOLS.

THE SCHEME, IN ADDITION TO THE EXISTING NORMAL SCHOOL VISITS MADE BY DISTRICT EDUCATION OFFICERS AND SCHOOL INSPECTORS, WAS LAUNCHED LAST WEEK WHEN THE ACTING DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION, MR DAVID LAN, VISITED THE ST. FRANCIS XAVIER'S COLLEGE AND QUEEN SCHOOL IN KOWLOON.
