Support to Schools and Teachers

The EDB has been providing diversified curriculum resources, including learning materials, learning resources websites, professional development programmes, etc. to primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong for the promotion of MCE.

Learning materials: The EDB has been providing learning materials, like teaching plans and worksheets, which clearly state the teaching objectives, teaching procedures, reference materials, extended activities, etc. for teachers to use flexibly.

Learning resources websites: The EDB has been creating learning resources websites on different themes, which cover current affairs and various cross-curricular domains in values education such as life education, sex education, moral education, Basic Law For Reflection and Action

How can schools avoid the labeling effect on students when conducting MCE assessments?

Some learning resources websites also include a parents’ corner, which encourages parents to collaborate with the schools to promote the holistic development of their children.

Professional development programmes: The EDB regularly provides a series of professional development programmes, including seminars, workshops, etc. for teachers and different stakeholders including school heads, deputy school heads, primary school curriculum leaders, teachers and parents. The EDB also actively collaborates with teacher education institutions to enhance teachers’ professional knowledge and competency.

The EDB also provides school-based support services. These include:

Assisting schools in developing plans for implementing MCE.

Creating teachers’ networks to facilitate their exchange of ideas and good practices.

Establishing partnership with tertiary institutions to keep teachers abreast of the latest development of MCE.
