Another plea for suitable CSL teaching materials:

"Chinese teacher Lee Yin-fong of ECF Saint Too Canaan College in Kwun Tong, which started admitting NCS students five years ago, said the biggest challenges were the lack of suitable teaching materials and a comprehensive curriculum."


Sad to say, teachers are not rushing to sign up for CSL training. Chinese teacher Sun Ka-wa of ECF Saint Too Canaan College said educators needed more incentives to attend training in NCS education.

“Most won’t go for NCS teaching training unless being the coordinator of NCS education in schools is valued, and they receive a wage increase or something similar,” he said.
