****************************************************

     The Financial Secretary, Mr John C Tsang, this afternoon (May 19) visited Tang King Po School in Kowloon City, where he was told of the school’s learning conditions and strategies to assist its students with special educational needs.

     Accompanied by the school’s representatives, Mr Tsang toured the campus, and observed students in classes and their extra-curricular activities.

     Mr Tsang also enjoyed a dialogue session with more than 20 students in the school, which was founded 55 years ago.  Mr Tsang chatted with them, sharing his personal experiences.

     Several students with special educational needs told Mr Tsang how they coped with their difficulties in learning. Other students who took part in a leadership scheme launched by the school talked about how they helped their schoolmates tackle problems and what they gained during the process.

     Mr Tsang learned that the school was promoting an activity called “Love to Learn, Learn to Love” that gives support to students to enrich their lives and prepare for the future.  He encouraged the students to equip themselves with adequate knowledge so that they could readily make contributions to society.

     From the wishing cards programme in the school, Mr Tsang got to know about students’ individual goals and their aspirations for society.  He also completed a wishing card for the students to remember.

     Before ending his visit, Mr Tsang officiated at the opening ceremony of the students’ activities centre in the school.
