Language Proficiency Requirement (LPR)

The purpose of setting language proficiency levels is to promote effective teaching and enhance the quality of education. Language proficiency levels provide an objective reference against which teachers' proficiency can be gauged to help them pursue continuous professional development. The government's objective is to ensure that all language teachers possess at least basic language proficiency. Teachers are also encouraged to strive for higher levels of language proficiency, and to enhance their professionalism in subject knowledge and pedagogy through training.
