**********************************************************************************
Following the relevant announcement in the Chief Executive's 2017 Policy Address, the Education Bureau invited the Education Commission (EC) to set up a task force to strengthen home-school co-operation and parent education. The EC accepted the invitation and the Task Force was formed in December 2017. The main tasks of the Task Force include reviewing the existing approach in promoting parent education and home-school co-operation, and, based on the outcome of the review, formulating the direction and strategy for fostering home-school co-operation and promoting parent education so that parents could help their children learn effectively and grow up happily and healthily.
The Task Force will make recommendations on home-school co-operation and parent education and gauge the views of stakeholders, anticipating to complete its work by the second quarter of 2019. The Task Force is chaired by the EC Chairman, Mr Tim Lui Tim-leung, with membership as follows:
