EC chairman appeals for public views on draft report
The Chairman of the Education Commission, Professor Rosie Young, today (Monday) renewed her appeal to all sectors of the community to give their views on the commission's Report No 6 "Enhancing Language Proficiency: A Comprehensive Strategy", which was released last week for public consultation until January 31, 1996.
Speaking to the press after a meeting of the commission, Professor Young pointed out that views of the community were very important to the commission in finalising the recommendations to be submitted to the Administration in early 1996.
Professor Young said she was pleased with the initial response to the draft report, adding that a series of briefings would be held during the consultation exercise for the teaching profession, parents, business communities and district boards to gauge their views.
A concise leaflet highlighting the background and the major recommendations of the draft Education Commission Report No 6 has been produced. Copies of the leaflet and the main report are available for public collection from District Offices and sub-offices of the Education Department.
At the meeting, the Board of Education reported on the progress of the review on compulsory education and the Working Group on General Teaching Council also gave a progress report on its work.
