Appointments to Committee on Home-School Co-operation
*****************************************************

     The Education Bureau today (August 21) announced the re-appointment of Professor Wong Po-choi as Chairman of the Committee on Home-School Co-operation (CHSC).  

     The bureau also announced the appointment of 18 members to the CHSC.  New members are Ms He Shi-lian, Dr Poon Bo-chiu, Dr Regina Ching, Dr Lilian Wong Hiu-lei, Dr Alice Lee and Dr Gordon Tsui.

     The CHSC comprises members from different walks of life, including parents as well as professionals in education, public health, medical sectors, business and information technology.  The chairman and members are all appointed for two years, from September 1, 2009, to August 31, 2011.   

     The Permanent Secretary for Education, Mr Raymond Wong said, "I believe that with Professor Wong's profound knowledge and enthusiasm in education as well as the concerted efforts of its members, the CHSC will continue with its achievements in strengthening home-school co-operation and promoting parent education."

     Established in 1993 as an advisory body, the CHSC's main roles include promoting home-school co-operation and advising the Education Bureau, other government departments and non-government organisations on ways to promote parent involvement in education.

     The CHSC is also tasked to encourage the setting up of parent-teacher associations (PTAs) and Federations of PTAs (FPTAs). To date, more than 90% of government and aided schools have set up their PTAs and 17 districts have set up their FPTAs.
