Key Areas of Support

In the 2026/27 s.y., SBSS cover various KLAs /subjects and are in line with the latest curriculum initiatives.  There are four major domains of SBSS:

 
(a) Supporting school curriculum leadership

SBSS emphasise enhancing the professional capabilities of school curriculum leaders in areas such as early childhood education, curriculum planning and implementation in different KLAs/subjects in primary and secondary schools, and leadership in developing a distinctive, sustainable and effective school curriculum in alignment with the latest curriculum initiatives and new educational development trends.

 
(b) Strengthening linkages with curriculum initiatives

In addition to promoting curriculum planning and implementation in different KLAs/subjects, linkages between SBSS and various curriculum initiatives, including national education, values education, STEAM education, digital education, Chinese culture, self-directed learning and catering for learning diversity, will be strengthened to enhance schools’ effectiveness in implementing related cross-curricular projects.

 
(c) Promoting inter-school / Mainland–Hong Kong teachers’ professional exchanges

Schools are supported in establishing learning communities to promote professional exchange among schools, share practical experiences and explore effective strategies.  At the same time, the “Mainland–Hong Kong Teachers Exchange and Collaboration Programme (MHKTECP)” promotes collaboration between Mainland and Hong Kong teachers by leveraging the expertise and practical experience of Mainland expert teachers to optimise the implementation of cross-curricular projects in collaboration with local schools in areas such as national education, STEAM education and digital education, thereby enhancing teaching effectiveness.

 
(d) Facilitating effective transition across key stages

Support services assist schools in helping students, including non-Chinese speaking students (NCS), transition smoothly between different key stages.  Learning community activities are arranged to foster professional sharing and exchange between kindergarten and primary school teachers, or between primary and secondary school teachers.
