Hong Kong will devise a long-term research agenda to enhance the education system from kindergarten to higher education, Secretary for Education Michael Suen says.
Attending the International Education Roundtable in Singapore today Mr Suen said Hong Kong is committed to nurturing all students to succeed in whole-person development and life-long learning.
"There is the need to continue to maintain high academic achievement and all-round student development through quality teaching, effective leadership and effective schools that are responsive to changes and contemporary needs," he said.
"Society's ever-rising expectations have added pressure on teachers' workload which calls for stronger support to the profession from parents, the Government and the wider community."
He said Hong Kong will enhance the teaching profession by attracting better graduates to become teachers, enhancing the quality and opportunities of teacher education, boosting teacher morale and enhancing their social status to retain them in the profession.
