Policy Address

Whole-person Development

109.         Learning outside classroom settings can help students realise their potential in different areas, develop their character and multiple intelligences, and gain all-round learning experience.

After-school Learning and Support

110.         Under various assistance schemes offered by the Government and the CCF, schools and NGOs are able to provide extra-curricular activities as well as after-school learning and support for primary and secondary students in need.  In the 2014/15 school year, the Government will provide greater flexibility for schools in implementing the School-based After-school Learning and Support Programmes and, by providing funding, encourage schools to make better use of the School-based Grant to benefit more primary and secondary students from needy families.  In the long run, the Government will explore ways to consolidate various assistance schemes to achieve greater effectiveness.
