The Education Bureau today (August 30) announced the appointment of five new members and re-appointment of 11 incumbent members to the Committee on Home-School Co-operation (CHSC) for two years with effect from September 1, 2019.

     The five newly appointed members are Mr Brian Cheung Ngai-hoi, Mr Ho Ting-hong, Miss Lam Ka-man, Ms Diana Lee Wei-kit and Ms Jane Leung Chui-chun.

     The 11 incumbent members re-appointed are Dr Chui Yat-hung, Mr Eugene Fong Yick-jin, Ms Elizabeth Ho Yee-ha, Dr Hui Lung-kit, Dr Lam Hiu-fung, Dr Leung Wing-hung, Ms Li Hei-lam, Mr Benjamin Ng Yau-keung, Mr Raymond Poon Tak-cheong, Mr Raphael Tong Tai-wai and Ms Charis Yuen Fung-yi.

     The CHSC comprises members from different walks of life including parents as well as professionals in the education, medical, engineering, accountancy and commercial sectors. Two young people, Mr Ho Ting-hong and Miss Lam Ka-man, are appointed through the Member Self-recommendation Scheme for Youth.

     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.
