Key Areas of Support

EDB will further strengthen SBSS by enhancing the linkages between various KLAs/subjects and curriculum initiatives, and facilitate more inter-school professional exchanges, and provide appropriate and diversified professional support services for schools.  The key areas of support are as follows:

(a) Strengthening linkages with curriculum initiatives

In addition to promoting the implementation of the curricula in different KLAs/subjects, linkages between SBSS and curriculum initiatives, including national education, values education, STEAM education, and Chinese culture, will also be strengthened to enhance the effectiveness of schools in implementing related cross-curricular projects.

(b) Strengthening support for school curriculum leadership

Support for school curriculum leadership will be enhanced to improve their professional capacity in curriculum planning in areas such as early childhood education, primary science education and Chinese language, and in leading their school teams to develop a distinctive and effective school curriculum in alignment with curriculum initiatives.

(c)  Optimising the mode of support and enhancing dissemination

Inter-school exchange platforms will be enhanced to promote professional discussions and sharing on topics of mutual concern among schools, and facilitate further dissemination of experiences so that more schools can benefit.

(d) Optimising the “Mainland and Hong Kong Teachers Exchange and Collaboration Programme (MHKTECP)”

Leveraging the expertise of Mainland expert teachers, MHKTECP will roll out more interdisciplinary projects, such as STEAM education, Chinese culture and virtues, and primary science education, to optimise the effectiveness of exchange and collaboration.
