Quality Education Fund Thematic Networks (QTNs)

This QTN aims at establishing a school network in supporting the diverse learning needs (reading and writing) of junior secondary students/senior primary students. Through different kinds of training such as workshops and lesson observations, teachers’ professional capacity for applying various learning and teaching strategies in reading and writing will be enhanced. To cater for learner diversity, new information technology elements in learning materials will be incorporated.

This QTN aims at helping participating schools develop into well-being-first schools where the well-being of students is the top priority. This QTN will also incorporate mental wellbeing education into school curriculum so as to nurture and strengthen resilience of students in biological, psychological and social aspects.

This QTN aims at promoting STEM education through equipping teachers of participating schools with the knowledge and skills of designing robotic-related learning activities to arouse students’ interest in STEM education. During the project period, QTN coordinator will conduct regular interschool sharing and discussion sessions to enhance teachers' professional development. The learning community established under the QTN will be maintained after the completion of this project so as to sustain professional exchange and development among teachers.
