The Quality
Education Fund is mandated to support and pioneer innovative
projects that bring forth quality education. The Fund
is proud to launch, and to see to the fruition of the
Chief Executive's Award for Teaching Excellence Scheme
which opened to teachers in language teaching in the
first round.
In the Award,
we received more than 250 good quality nominations from
primary, secondary, special schools and kindergartens.
We underwent a vigorous process to select accomplished
teachers who demonstrate exemplary teaching practices.
These teachers will form an assembly to facilitate sharing
of good practices and foster changes in the teaching
culture.
My congratulations
to all awardees for their outstanding achievements.
My deepest gratitude also goes to my distinguished colleagues
who serve on the Chief Executive's Award for Teaching
Excellence Sub-committee; Assessment Working Group and
its four panels on English Language Education, Chinese
Language Education, Language Development for Students
of Kindergartens and Language Education (Special Needs);
Publicity and Public Relations Working Group; as well
as Dissemination and Networking Working Group. The Award
would not be a success without the hard work and unfailing
support of all those concerned, and the keen participation
by the school sector. |
