Providing Employment Flexibility for Aided Primary Schools to Promote STEAM Education


From the 2022/23 to 2024/25 school years, aided primary schools (including special schools with a primary section) are provided with more flexibility for employment of teachers having expertise in STEAM-related subjects in aided primary schools with a view to promoting school-based STEAM education.  The above arrangement is implemented on a pilot basis for three years.

The EDB has gauged views from stakeholders through school visits, questionnaire surveys, etc..  The feedback from schools employing STEAM teachers on the pilot arrangement is positive.  The participating schools agree that the arrangement helps engage talent with STEAM-related expertise to support the schools in co-ordinating and promoting the development of STEAM education.  Considering the persistent keen demand for teachers with expertise in STEAM-related subjects in primary schools, the EDB extends the employment flexibility arrangement following the existing requirements for three years to the 2027/28 school year to cater for schools’ needs in developing STEAM education.

Please refer to the following EDB Circular Memorandum and Frequently Asked Questions for details.
