School-based Support Services

Education Bureau (EDB) has been offering diversified school-based support services (SBSS) to kindergartens and schools with a view to enhancing the professional capabilities of school curriculum leaders and the professional standards of their teaching teams, thereby promoting schools’ continuous development and providing quality education.  The supporting themes are in line with the Hong Kong curriculum development, encompassing the latest curriculum initiatives, such as national education, values education, STEAM education/Innovation and Technology Education/digital education, self-directed learning and catering for learning diversity. At the same time, the supporting themes address the needs of schools and enhance professional capacity in curriculum planning and implementation. 

The mode of support services is diversified.  Apart from on-site SBSS, inter-school learning communities have also been established to foster a professional atmosphere of sharing and exchange to achieve the goals of SBSS.  The support teams consist of experts with different background, including officers from EDB, tertiary institutions, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), frontline school teachers and Mainland expert teachers.
