Policy Address

Primary and Secondary Education

190.         The Government will continue to provide financial support for public sector primary and secondary schools to set up Wi-Fi infrastructure in campuses and procure mobile computing devices.  Related works at half of the public sector schools in Hong Kong have been completed. 

191.         The New Academic Structure Medium-term Review at senior secondary level has been completed and the Government will actively promote life planning education.  To enhance the implementation of the senior secondary curriculum, and strengthen life planning education and related guidance services, schools may turn the existing Senior Secondary Curriculum Support Grant as well as Career and Life Planning Grant into regular teaching posts from the 2016/17 school year.  This will provide about 1 000 additional teaching posts at the Graduate Master/Mistress rank.  We will review the implementation of the measures in schools in the next two school years.
