More lively and effective learning through TOC
The Deputy Director of Education, Mr TF Kwan, said today (Thursday) that it is only through adopting Target Oriented Curriculum (TOC) that schools can really understand how the new curriculum can enhance motivation in learning and develop students' potentials.
Speaking at the opening of the TOC Resource Centre (New Territories Region), Mr Kwan urged other primary schools to join more than 530 schools that will be adopting TOC this September.
The 530-odd TOC schools represent more than 60 per cent of all primary schools in Hong Kong.
"By September 2000, all levels in the primary sector will adopt this curriculum," Mr Kwan said.
