Appointments to Committee on Home-School Co-operation

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

     The Education Bureau today (August 31) announced the re-appointment of Mr Henry Tong Sau-chai as the Chairman of the Committee on Home-School Co-operation (CHSC) and Ms Emily Mok Fung-yee as a member of the committee. Ms Anny Wong Shui-kuk is appointed as a new member of the CHSC. The tenure of their appointments is two years with effect from September 1, 2018.

     "We believe that with Mr Tong's rich experience in community service and enthusiasm in promoting home-school co-operation as well as the concerted efforts of other members, the CHSC will continue with its achievements in strengthening home-school co-operation," a spokesman for the Education Bureau said.

     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, all government and aided schools have set up their PTAs and 18 districts have set up their FPTAs.
