[News from our News]In recent years, immigration has been incessant. Lian Zhenbang, chairman of the Secondary School Principals Association, said yesterday that the association and the Chinese University of Hong Kong conducted a study earlier to visit 140 middle schools to understand the loss of teachers and students in the academic sector. , on average, 32 students dropped out and about 7 teachers left each school. The number of students who dropped out is equivalent to one class, and the turnover of teachers also made it difficult for schools to replenish manpower.
Lian Zhenbang pointed out that the loss of teachers and students has brought new challenges to schools. Since primary schools are implementing small classes of 25 students, the Principals Association once suggested that this measure should also be introduced in secondary schools. However, the Education Bureau believes that the demand for places in primary and secondary schools is limited Affected by a number of factors, the continued decline of the school-age population in the future may be a structural problem, and long-term measures should be formulated as soon as possible.
Teachers also immigrate to the fault in the education sector
Lian also pointed out that in recent years, many teachers have left their jobs in a short period of time, or even immigrated with their families in the middle of the semester. As a result, there have been gaps and disconnections in the education sector. Apart from the main subjects of English, mathematics and science, many art subject schools may not necessarily be affected. There are replacement candidates. In the face of the loss of teachers and the reduction of students, I hope the government will take more active measures to do a good job in the reform of the school curriculum and allocate resources to university education.
