STEM education is increasingly gaining traction in Hong Kong as the government continues to emphasise its importance to future scientific and technological developments, but one non-profit group has noted a problem: not every teacher is trained to teach these disciplines well.
Hong Kong Children in Need Foundation Limited (HKCIN), sees opportunities in providing more resources for lower-income primary school students by empowering teachers with the necessary knowledge to educate the younger generation.
HKCIN will adopt a unique “train the trainer” approach, in which teachers will be trained by STEM professionals, providing them with the skill sets to teach primary school students. Full report in SCMP.
