Structured Manager Training Programmes
Under the school-based management (SBM) spirit, aided schools are given more autonomy and greater funding flexibility to manage the operation and resources of the schools for the provision of quality education. In return, schools are expected to be more transparent and accountable for their operation and key stakeholders should be involved in the decision-making process. As members of the incorporated management committees (IMCs), school supervisors and school managers play an important role in leading and steering the school for continuous development and improvement, as well as providing an all-round education for students.
The Education Bureau has commissioned The Chinese University of Hong Kong to organize a total of 11 courses under Structured Manager Training Programmes, including 3 courses of Programme SV for school supervisors, as well as 2 courses of Programme A, 2 courses of Programme B (Part 1: School Governance) and 4 courses of Programme B (Parts 2A & 2B: Legal Matters) for school managers at different time slots in the 2021/22 school year. Participants may enrol, free of charge, in the programme that best suits their training needs. Serving and potential school supervisors/managers are welcome.
