The Education Bureau has launched a publicity drive on the New Senior Secondary Academic Structure to pave way for its implementation in September 2009.

The package includes two sets of radio and television announcements, a booklet and a set of DVDs for parents, a new dedicated webpage, and seminars and exhibitions.

Principal Assistant Secretary for Education (Curriculum Development) Dr Chan Ka-ki said successful implementation of the new academic structure requires concerted efforts from the Government, schools and teachers and, more importantly, the support of parents.

Publicity drive: New television announcements are set to launch promoting the New Senior Secondary Academic Structure.

New roles

The announcements will focus on parents' and teachers' roles under the new academic structure and how they should prepare their children and students for self-learning under the new curriculum.

The first announcement - Parents' Roles - will urge parents to be a good role model for their children, and enhance communication with schools. The second one - Teachers' Roles - will highlight the multiple roles played by teachers nowadays.

The New Senior Secondary School Information Network will be set up on the bureau's 334 web bulletin to provide easy access to information on new senior secondary curricula offered by schools.
