The core of the education reform is to develop students’ learning-to-learn competence and open-minded attitude. When equipped with these competence and attitude, students are more able to face the challenges of an ever-changing society and build a bright future.  Schools should be the place where teachers and students are eager to construct knowledge. To achieve this aim, the modes of learning of principals and teachers are absolutely pivotal as models for students. In order to motivate students to pursue knowledge and strive for excellence, teachers should have an open-minded attitude in exploring knowledge; focusing on the curriculum goals with reference to content, pedagogy and assessment; reflecting on and improving their own practices both inside and outside the classroom; and catering for the diverse needs of students.  It is envisaged that the prime aim of school-based support services is to prepare teachers to cope with the changing work culture at ease by linking closely their own continuing professional development, school-based curriculum development and the school’s development plan.
