Interflow Schemes

2. To facilitate cross-fertilisation of experience and expertise and to enhance

(2)

(a) Annual Teacher Secondment Exercise

This scheme provides an excellent opportunity for cross-exchange of expertise and experience, and enhances partnership between EDB and schools. Starting from the 2010/11 school year, the Collaborative Research and Development (“Seed”) Projects (which is on a full/part-time basis) and the IT in Education Centre of Excellence Scheme (which is on a part-time basis) have been subsumed under the Annual Teacher Secondment Exercise.

Details of the secondment positions under the 2022 Annual Teacher Secondment Exercise are at Appendix A.

(b) Scheme of Voluntary Postings to Schools for Non-teaching Departmental Grade Officers at Basic Rank

This scheme is designed to enable basic rank officers in non-teaching grades (i.e. Assistant Inspector (Graduate), Assistant Inspector (Non-graduate), Assistant Education Officer (Administration) and Education Assistant) to take up teaching posts in government and aided schools. It aims to benefit the officers concerned and the education service as a whole by focusing on enhancing cross-fertilisation of professional expertise in the school setting.

(c) Cross-grade Posting Scheme

Through cross-grade postings within EDB, this scheme provides the opportunity for departmental grade officers (both teaching and non-teaching) to widen their vision, experience and knowledge; develop their potential and professionalism; and improve their adaptability to changing environments.

3. Participants and supervisors generally found the interflow schemes very effective in broadening an officer’s vision, experience and knowledge; developing one’s potential and professionalism; and improving one’s adaptability to the changing work environments. Supervisors are requested to render support to their staff in taking part in the interflow schemes.

Eligible applicants may indicate in the application form more than one interflow scheme they wish to be considered. The Government Schools Section will be consulted on applications from Government School applicants.

Validity Period of Application

5. Applications for secondment positions under the Annual Teacher Secondment Exercise are valid for the current exercise only. Applications for the other interflow schemes are valid for two years counting from the date of application. An application will lapse automatically if a posting cannot be arranged within the two-year validity period. If after submitting an application, the applicant decides to withdraw it, he/she should notify the Human Resource Management Unit of EDB (Address: 4/F, East Wing, Central Government Offices, 2 Tim Mei Avenue, Tamar, Hong Kong) in writing as soon as possible.

Closing Date of Applications

6. The deadline for application under the Annual Teacher Secondment Exercise is 10 March 2022 while applications under the other two interflow schemes may be made any time during the course of the year. However, school heads or teachers who wish to be considered for cross-grade posting to EDB and non-teaching departmental grade staff who wish to take up teaching posts commencing August/September 2022 have to submit their applications to EDB on or before 10 March 2022. Normally, late applications will not be considered. Applicants should submit all completed application forms on or before the deadline for application through one of the means below-

Duration and Timing of Interflow

8. Normally, the duration of interflow should not exceed one year. If adjustment to the end date becomes necessary later on, this should be made known to the participant as early as possible, preferably at least one month before the original end date of the interflow.

9. On completion of the interflow, participants from the aided sector or from schools under the Direct Subsidy Scheme will return to a post in his/her employing organisation. Participants who are government officers will either resume his/her posting prior to the interflow or be transferred to another post in his/her own rank/grade.

10. The timing of interflow involving teaching staff or teaching posts normally synchronises with the school year. To avoid disruption to students and school operations, officers accepting a teaching post must be prepared to commit themselves to serving the full period of interflow. Request for early reversion by the participant during the school year will not normally be considered.

11. Officers who are undergoing any type of interflow and who wish to stay in their present position for a further period have to submit a fresh application. Renewal or extension of an interflow arrangement will be subject to genuine operational needs and dealt with separately on a case by case basis.

They may assume that their applications are unsuccessful if they do not hear from us by 30 April 2022. For the other interflow schemes, initial matching will be worked out centrally by EDB based on the applications received and positions available. Before a posting is confirmed, an interview between the applicant and the prospective host division/school may be arranged where necessary.

14. Successful participants should be prepared to attend induction/familiarisation programmes which may be organised by the host offices before the interflow commences.

Relief Arrangement

15. Under the Annual Teacher Secondment Exercise and Scheme of Voluntary Postings to Schools for Non-teaching Departmental Grade Officers at Basic Rank, the parent school/division of a successful applicant will be provided with funds to employ a substitute teacher at basic rank or non-civil service contract staff. For part-time secondment cases, the funding to be provided will be on a pro-rata basis.
