Education

Big Open Playgrounds and Fields with nice and airy classrooms.
Lots of windows to allow in sunlight and nature.
• Classroom set up with smart boards, whiteboards, blackboards
and projectors displaying abundant students’ work.

• Different types, shapes and functions of classroom furniture to
facilitate students’ learning.
• Activity room for early arrivals and after school activities.

Reflections
• The success of the Finnish quality education is multi-
dimensional and there are many contributing factors. The system tries to address students
as individuals with different characters and learning styles.

• We might need to think more about the core value and function of education and how we
approach education in the Hong Kong context.
• What will happen in Hong Kong schools if we do away with homework, tests, paper and
pencil assessments, grades and rank orders in elementary education?

• Can there be a balance between trust and accountability when we run schools in Hong
Kong?
• Can we offer our students more autonomy and choices in their learning?

Possible Actions
• We could consider working with
stakeholders to formulate pledges for
students, parents and teachers.

• We could explore shorter school
hours for P.1 – 2 students.
• We could consider bringing more
nature and life experience into our

school curriculum.
• We could create inviting classrooms
filled with students’ work.
• We could make better use of school spaces to provide more hands-on experience for

students, eg STEM corners, Maker corners……
• We could give students longer recess time to rest, play and interact with schoolmates, to
boost our student's energy.
