Career quiz for students
Over 135,000 students from 296 secondary schools in Hong Kong will be tested next week to see how much they know about different careers and education opportunities.
"The 14th Careers Quiz, an annual event organised by the Labour Department's Careers Advisory Service, aims at arousing students' awareness of the importance of choosing a suitable career as well as encouraging them to get updated information on careers and education," Senior Labour Officer, Mrs Ada Leung, said today (Saturday).
The quiz, to be held from October 30 to November 6, requires students from Secondary 3 to Secondary 5 to answer 50 multiple choice questions in 30 minutes.
Participants will be asked questions on the courses offered by tertiary educational institutes, the job nature and requirements of different occupations, labour legislation relating to employees' rights, as well as services offered by the Labour Department.
A total of about 1,000 prizes, sponsored by Pentax Camera and Rodenstock Spectacles Frame, will be awarded to winning schools and students. The answer sheets of the quiz will be computer-marked by the Information Technology Services Department (ITSD).
Mrs Leung expressed appreciation of the generous donations by the sponsor and the tremendous technical support by ITSD.
"The Career Quiz is an associated activity of the sixth Education and Careers Expo scheduled for February 8 to 11, 1996. The quiz questions will be displayed at the Expo and members of the public are welcome to try the questions there," she said.
