Home-School Co-operation

The government encourages home-school co-operation in educating
children and young people. The number of Parent-Teacher Associations
(PTAs) is increasing and reached 461 in the 1997-98 school year. PTAs
are encouraged to form networks in their own districts. The Committee
on Home-School Co-operation, which aims to improve communication
between schools and parents, was established in February 1993. Its
members include educators, parents, PTA chairpersons and officers of
the Education Department. In 1997, it organised a family sports
programme, a family sex-education campaign, and promotion activities
for parents and PTAs. It also published a PTA manual and launched a
campaign calling upon parents to show appreciation for teachers' work.
