In view of the demand for school-based professional support and the impending launching of the services, the Department of Psychology of the University of Hong Kong and the Division of Educational Psychology of the Hong Kong Psychological Society conducted a questionnaire survey on the needs for school-based professional support in primary schools. The purpose of the survey is to investigate the exact needs for school-based educational psychology services for primary schools in relation to the difficulties and current support in fulfilling these needs.
The results of the survey will be presented at a press conference to be held on December 15, 2001. Two principals will be invited to share their visions and experiences in the use of school-based educational psychology services at the conference. Their schools have hired educational psychologists long before the Government decided to allocate resources in this area. Members of the Press are cordially invited to attend the event. Details are as follows:

Press Conference on a survey for School-based Professional Support in Primary Schools
12 Dec 2001
In response to the demand for school-based professional support in primary schools, the Chief Executive announced in his recent Policy Address a series of plans to develop relevant services. These measures include providing educational psychology services to primary schools through phased extension of school-based services to 200 primary schools by 2007-2008 and providing a cash grant to schools starting from 2002-2003 school year to enable the procurement of guidance services from educational psychologists, school social workers, or student guidance teachers.
In view of the demand for school-based professional support and the impending launching of the services, the Department of Psychology of the University of Hong Kong and the Division of Educational Psychology of the Hong Kong Psychological Society conducted a questionnaire survey on the needs for school-based professional support in primary schools.
