轉載 Proposal on Small Class Teaching in WYK

Dear All,

I trust many of you have read the news on 東方日報 and 星島日報 in the last few days in relation to small class teaching in WYK. Based upon this, I have received a number of phone calls from the past students to request me clarifying with the school management on the news contents. Hence, I spoke to Dr. Tan last evening and obtained the following clarification:

(1) WYK is in the consultation period on the proposal on small class teaching in WYK. The SMC has no stance or view on whether this will be the way for WYK to go forward.

(2) The school management is still welcoming all stakeholders, including past students, to provide their views and opinions on this issue.

(3) Although the initial deadline as given by the Education Bureau to confirm whether adopting the proposal from the EB is in February 2011 (note: Michael Suen said the deadline would be 25th February, 2011 yesterday), there is no rush for WYK to make any decision on this proposal prior to such deadline. Thus, there will not be any decision to be made at the SMC meeting on 7th December, 2010.

Accordingly, since this is a serious and material issue which will affect the way WYK accepting Form One students and providing education to our current students, I would much appreciate it if you can continue providing your views/ideas/opinions on this matter to me so that I can collect all for the SMC to consider and for reference at the upcoming SMC meeting. Further, please kindly feel free to pass it to the other past students who may have other views to share.

Should you have any queries, please kindly feel free to call me at 9015-5726 or write to me to discuss.

Thanks so much for your attention and assistance in advance.

Regards,

Sam Yu (83)
