Cantonese and China studies course for expatriate officers
A group of nine expatriate civil servants who are prepared to serve beyond 1997 are now attending a special full-time training course to enhance their proficiency in Cantonese and knowledge about China.
Making the announcement today (Wednesday), a spokesman for the Civil Service Branch said the course will give impetus to government's ongoing efforts to help expatriate officers improve their Cantonese ability and understanding of China.
The first part of the course on Cantonese training now being conducted in the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has already begun at the end of January.
On completion of the language programme on March 1, team members will move on to a China studies training programme to be held at Zhongshan University in Guangzhou from March 4 to 15.
The second leg of the course, focusing on China's political, economic, legal and social systems, will provide further chances for course members to improve their Cantonese as they will be using Cantonese when attending seminars, discussion sessions and visiting Chinese institutions in Guangdong.
Registrar of Companies, Mr Gordon Jones, is the course leader. Members include Mrs Rachel Cartland, Mr Peter Mann, Mr Gavin Ure and Mr Jonathan McKinley from the Administrative Service and Mr Kevan Cooper, Mr John Cox, Mr Nigel Ashmore and Mr David Boyton from the Police.
