HKU's Faculty of Education to Organise a Policy Forum (Press Invitation)

09 Mar 2005

 

A policy forum on medium of instruction and secondary school places allocation will be held on Saturday, March 19, 2005 at the University of Hong Kong (HKU).

Medium of instruction and school places allocation are, once again, "soul-touching" issues in Hong Kong. In responding to the government's latest consultative document, HKU academics and graduate practitioners of the education profession will gather and discuss the issues in depth. Entitled "Policy Forum on Medium of Instruction and Secondary School Places Allocation", the forum will cater for a dialogue between theories and practice. It will be analytical, critical and constructive.

Conducted in English, the forum is co-organised by HKU's Faculty of Education, the HKU Education Alumni Association (HKUEdAA) and the Education Society, HKU Students' Union. Details of the forum are as follows:
