Mrs Fanny Law, Permanent Secretary for Education and Manpower, will engage in a dialogue with students in the morning session to find out their perception of the education reform initiatives. Students will have the chance to voice their opinions on whether they think the Education Reform efforts are effective to achieve hearts-on, minds-on learning.
Also in the morning session, Dr K K Chan, Principal Assistant Secretary of the Curriculum Development Institute, EMB, will exchange views with teachers and principals to explore the possible impacts and links of the Education Reform efforts may have on the strategies for and barriers to the facilitation of hearts-on, minds-on learning experiences of students.
In the afternoon session, Professor Marlene Scardamalia of the University of Toronto will deliver a keynote speech on Breaking Barriers in Reforming Learning: International experiences from the Knowledge Society Network. Following it is a panel discussion, chaired by Professor Cheng Kai-Ming of HKU's Faculty of Education, entitled Learning to Reform: what have we learnt? The panel discussion aims to highlight the core of education reform, which should be changing mindset on learning rather than changing structures & practices of schooling; the main message is "reform as a continuing collaborative conscious effort of the education community".
