EdUHK Launches Groundbreaking Science Curriculum for Senior Primary Students Facilitating Science Teachers to Grasp the Essence of the Education Bureau's Primary Science Curriculum Framework

The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) will announce the launch of the 'Senior Primary Science ESDGC14 Curriculum*' for Primary 5 and Primary 6 students. This landmark event, slated for Saturday, 6 July 2024, promises to captivate the educational community and beyond. You or your representatives are cordially invited to cover the event.

 

Spearheaded by Dr. Ng Cheuk Wing Margaret of the Department of Curriculum and Instruction, the curriculum is a breakthrough in integrating STEAM disciplines. Developed in collaboration with principals and subject panel heads from five local schools, it aims to enhance science teachers’ mastery of the Education Bureau’s new primary science framework, thus improving teaching quality and effectiveness.

 

Building on six years of 'social entrepreneurship education', its key innovations include:

 

  • Seamless Educational Transition: Ensuring smooth educational progression from primary to secondary education.
  • Mentorship Programme: Secondary and university students from EdUHK mentor younger students, fostering cross-generational collaboration and providing role models.
  • English as Medium of Instruction: Prepares students for international academic and professional environments, ensuring proficiency in English.

Dr. Ng will detail the curriculum’s philosophy and features, emphasizing its blend of scientific inquiry with practical learning. Testimonials from collaborating school representatives will highlight the programme’s impact.
