SED visits Tuen Mun District (with photos)
******************************************
     The Secretary for Education, Mr Kevin Yeung, today (February 5) visited Tuen Mun District, where he called on education and youth facilities and met with local District Council members to gauge their views on education matters.

     Accompanied by the District Officer (Tuen Mun), Ms Aubrey Fung, Mr Yeung first went to the Maritime Services Training Institute (MSTI) in Tai Lam Chung. He toured its campus and various teaching facilities, and chatted with its staff and students.

     Founded in 1988, the MSTI offers full-time Higher Diploma in Maritime Studies and Certificate for Junior General Purpose Ratings programmes to Secondary Six and Secondary Three graduates respectively. It also provides part-time courses for in-service seafarers and employees of the maritime industry to enhance their professional knowledge and skills. 

     Mr Yeung then called on the Jockey Club Kin Sang S.P.O.T. of the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups to learn more about Neighbourhood First, which is a youth-led project to care for the local community, and chatted with its young volunteers. Established in 1992, the youth centre mainly serves young people aged from 6 to 35 and aims to equip them and broaden their horizons for all-round development by strengthening classroom learning, extending educational opportunities and promoting social exposure and development.

     Mr Yeung said that Hong Kong needs a diverse talent pool and that the Government will continue to work together with education and social service organisations to provide young people with a variety of participation and education opportunities, so that they can develop their potential to the fullest and contribute to the community.

     As the final stop of his visit, Mr Yeung went to the Tuen Mun District Council, where he met with the Chairman, Mr Leung Kin-man, and other members to exchange views on education and district issues.
