Choose schools according to student interest and ability

Parents of Primary 6 students are advised to choose schools according to their children's interest and ability - practical school is an alternative.

A spokesman for the Education Department assured parents that schools would help in identifying Primary 6 students who could not benefit fully from the common- core curriculum in grammar, prevocational or technical secondary schools.

Parents should note that students who are not interested in the common-core curriculum may consequently feel frustrated and so they would be better off if they could further their studies in a practical school.

At present, there are two practical schools, the Hong Kong Sea School in Stanley and the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Practical School in Yuen Long.

The spokesman said: "Practical school provides an alternative education which places less emphasis on academic subjects and more on practical skills. This kind of education aims at preparing students for direct employment at the end of Secondary 3 or for entry into apprenticeship schemes."
