OPEN DAYS ARE SIGNIFICANT TO STUDENTS

OPEN DAYS, IN EDUCATIONAL TERMS, PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO PUT KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS THEY HAVE ACQUIRED INTO PRACTICE.

THE DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION, MR LI YURT-TING, SAID THIS TODAY (WEDNESDAY) WHEN OPENING THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS OF CHONG GENE HANG COLLEGE.

MR LI SAID IT WAS MOST FITTING THAT THE COLLEGE HAD CHOSEN TO INCLUDE AN OPEN DAY IN THE CELEBRATION EVENTS.

OPEN DAYS, HE SAID, HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF SIGNIFICANCE IN EDUCATION TERMS AND, IN PUTTING INTO PRACTICE THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS, THE STUDENTS WOULD BE CARRYING OUT SUCH TASKS AS CHOOSING MEANINGFUL THEMES FOR THEIR EXHIBITION PROJECTS, SELECTING DATA AND MATERIAL AND MAKING INTERESTING PRESENTATIONS.

RELEVANT

"THIS PROCESS OF PREPARATION CALLS FOR NOT JUST INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTIONS BUT ALSO TEAM WORK AND CLOSE CO-OPERATION, THE DEVELOPMENT OF WHICH IS A VERY

EDUCATIONAL GOAL," MR LI

SAID.

IMPORTANT

HE SAID HE CHOSE TO SPEAK ON THE IMPORTANCE OF OPEN DAYS BECAUSE THEY HIGHLIGHTED THE IMPORTANCE OF SCHOOLS BEING ALWAYS MINDFUL OF THEIR NEED TO CONTINUE TO EVALUATE THEIR PAST PERFORMANCE, THEIR NEED TO LOOK TOWARDS THE FUTURE AND THEIR NEED то ENCOURAGE STUDENTS, STAFF AND PARENTS TO PARTICIPATE FULLY.

"WE IN THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT ARE VERY MINDFUL OF SIMILAR NEEDS IN OUR WORK OF DEVELOPING EDUCATION IN HONG KONG. WE TRY NEVER TO BE COMPLACENT AND ARE CONSTANTLY REVIEWING OUR STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES, REGULARLY PLANNING IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE FUTURE AND ALWAYS ENCOURAGING SCHOOLS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC ΤΟ PARTICIPATE FULLY IN THE FORMULATION OF POLICIES AND PLANS, HE SAID.
