INDE
Mrs. Fan:- Sir, can the Director of Education inform this Council when
assessments are made on schools whether these schools concerned are informed
of the result of such assessments, and in particular, of the area where
improvement is considered necessary? Furthermore, do the inspectors give any
advice to the schools on how to achieve such improvements?
Director of Education:-
Yes, Sir, normally several inspections are made of
the school by both the District Inspectors and by the Subject Inspectors.
In the case of the District Inspectors, discussions are held on the facilities
in the school, the records kept by the school, the equipment and other
facilities in the schoos and ways and means of improving such facilities and
equipment. As for the Subject Inspectors, their main job is to look at the
subjects and to give advice to teachers as regards how best to improve
performance.
Overall then, every school so inspected has plenty of time to
be advised by our inspectors on how to improve their performance.
Mrs. Fan:- Sir, in view of the fact that the private schools do have a role
to play in our education system and the various suggestions and criticisms
recently expressed by the Private School Association towards Government policy
on this matter can the Director of Education inform us whether there is any
intention to conduct a review of the existing policies?
Director of Education:- Sir, the policy on private schools has been widely
known since 1976 when Government started to buy places from the schools. It
is Government's intention to help improve all schools in Hong Kong their
qualities and standards. The phasing-out of bought places applies only to
those schools which are not up to the standard. Indeed, as late as January
this year the Government has reconfirmed its position when mentioning the
No comments yet.
Private notes are available after approval.
