Secretary for Education Choi Yuk-lin today visited the Education Bureau's booths at the Education & Careers Expo 2025 being held at the Convention & Exhibition Centre.

The bureau has set up two booths to introduce its different professional grades and promote Applied Learning (ApL).

Ms Choi encouraged all those wishing to develop their career in the education sector to join the bureau in pushing forward with quality school education for students.

As for further studies, she said that ApL is a valued senior secondary elective subject. The courses put dual emphasis on theory and practice, and are linked to different vocational and professional fields, thereby getting students well prepared for further studies and work in the future.

Featuring interactive games, display panels, themed videos and career talks, the booth on recruitment introduces the bureau’s different professional grades, including Education Officer (Secondary School Teacher), Primary School Master/Mistress, Inspector (Graduate), Education Officer (Administration), Specialist (Education Services) and speech therapists in government schools.

Another booth promoting ApL has student ambassadors introduce ApL to visitors and share their personal stories on how it has helped them explore their career aspirations and the path of lifelong learning.

The bureau will hold a careers forum themed "Cultivating Values, Nurturing People in Partnership, Advancing Education Leadership for a Better Tomorrow" at Hall 1D from 1pm to 1.30pm tomorrow to introduce the scope of work and prospects of the education grades.

Officers of the professional grades and heads of government schools will share their specialised and all-round roles in pursuing the bureau’s mission and vision.

The expo is being held at Hall 1D and 1E of the Convention & Exhibition Centre from today until January 19. Admission is free.
