Hong Kong Teachers’ Centre
The Hong Kong Teachers' Centre (Centre) was established in 1987 in accordance with a recommendation of the Education Commission Report No. 1 published in 1984. Its base or headquarters, a multi-facet and multi-purpose Centre housed in a former primary school building at 4 Pak Fuk Road, North Point, was opened in June 1989. The Centre aims to promote continuous professional development and enrichment among teachers, and to foster among them a greater sense of unity and professionalism in an encouraging, neutral and non-hierarchical environment. Specific objectives of the Centre include the provision of opportunities for teachers to meet and exchange ideas and share experiences; the promotion of in-service education; the promotion of curriculum development; the development and trying out of new teaching aids and approaches; the provision of resources; the dissemination of news and ideas concerning education; and the organisation of social, cultural and recreational activities for teachers.
The Centre has a three-tier management structure to help plan and run its activities - an Advisory Management Committee (AMC), a Standing Committee (SC) and several Sub-committees.
The AMC is a policy-making and monitoring body with a total membership of 71. These include 34 members nominated by and elected from educational organisations or teaching-related organisations; 34 members nominated by and elected from teachers; and 3 members appointed by the Director of Education.
The SC is the executive sub-structure of the AMC. It is concerned with the day-to-day functioning of the Centre and the running of its activities. The SC comprises the AMC Chairman and 2 Vice Chairmen, the 3 ED representatives, and 9 other members elected by and from the AMC.
The various sub-committees are working groups responsible for specific areas of work of the Centre. The names of the sub-committees, such as Publication, Library and Teaching Resources, Activities Promotion, Constitution, Educational Research and Professional Development, reflect the work of the sub-committees. Members of the sub-committees are either members of the AMC or co-opted members.
At present, 130 educational bodies are registered members of the Centre. The Centre organises activities either by itself or jointly with non profit-making educational organisations for teachers in Hong Kong. It also sponsors activities organised by these organisations. During the financial year of 2001 to 2002, the Centre has organised, jointly with more than 40 educational organisations, over 200 professional development and cultural activities for teachers, with a total attendance frequency of more than 40000.
