Policy Address

Strengthening Life Planning

105.         First, the EDB will increase the manpower of the Career Guidance Team to provide holistic support to schools in providing career guidance service and life planning education.  From the 2014/15 school year, public sector schools operating classes at senior secondary levels will be provided with an additional recurrent grant equivalent to the salary of a graduate teacher to introduce more life planning education elements.  In parallel, the Government will encourage greater participation of business establishments and engage more community resources in the Business-School Partnership Programme.  We will also allocate additional resources to NGOs to enhance career guidance for secondary students in collaboration with schools.
