Intensive English programme for S6 students
Secondary 5 students who have taken at least 50 per cent of the subject in the 1995 Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination (HKCEE) in Chinese may apply for the first Pre-Secondary 6 course under the Intensive English Programme (IEP) in August 1995.
A spokesman for the Education Department said students who were prepared to proceed to Secondary 6 in September 1995 might apply for the course.
He said the purpose of the course was to help students who had studied through the medium of Chinese to achieve the standard of English required to enter local tertiary institutions.
The IEP, which is operated by the British Council, will be conducted in three stages, he said.
The first stage is a two-week whole-day Pre-S6 course from August 21 to August 31 this year. The second stage is a four-week Post-S6 course to be held in the Summer of 1996 and the third is a four-week Post-S7 course to be held in the Summer of 1997 before students entering local tertiary institutions.
The spokesman said current $5 students who were eligible for the 1995 Pre-S6 course might now obtain an application form from their schools. Private candidates may get the form from one of the 19 District Education Offices.
The completed forms should be submitted to the Education Department in August 1995.
To be eligible for the Pre-$6 course, students must:
*
have been admitted to S6 in the 1995-96 school year;
have satisfied the requirements for taking the Hong Kong Advanced Level Examination in the summer of 1997; and
have taken examination in Chinese in at least 50 per cent of the subjects in the 1995 HKCEE apart from Chinese Language, Chinese Literature, Chinese History, English Language, English Literature, Buddhist Studies, Shorthand and Typewriting.
