EDB facilitates early resumption of face-to-face classes of Tai Po Baptist Public School
****************************************************************************************
     ​A spokesman for the Education Bureau (EDB) today (December 2) announced that the school premises of Tai Po Baptist Public School (TPBPS) will remain closed for a certain period of time due to the fire at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po last week. In order to facilitate early resumption of the normal teaching routine of TPBPS and provide proper care for the students, the EDB has co-ordinated with schools in Tai Po District to deploy available classrooms and successfully arranged for TPBPS students to attend classes by grade level at the school premises of Tai Po Government Primary School and N.T.W.J.W.A Christian Remembrance of Grace Primary School from the middle of this month.

     For the next two weeks, TPBPS has arranged for students to resume classes in various modes, including attending classes in classrooms of schools in Tai Po District and participating in learning activities in different venues. The school has announced the arrangements to the parents.

     The EDB spokesman said, "As the school sponsoring body of government primary schools, the EDB fully supports Tai Po Government Primary School in lending out its classrooms. The EDB is also very grateful for the support and co-operation of N.T.W.J.W.A Christian Remembrance of Grace Primary School in assisting affected students to resume their studies."

     The EDB has set up a working group dedicated to implementing the above arrangements. The Government will earmark $5 million to support the operations of the above schools during the transition period and provide appropriate learning and teaching assistance for students and teachers.

     The EDB will continue to maintain close contact with the schools and provide necessary assistance.
