Dr Troy Lui 吕子德博士 | How YCYW prepares students for the future 耀中耀华如何为学生准备未来

About the Session

Abstract: One of the key functions of basic education is to prepare students for future challenges, which may include short, medium and long-term challenges. Generally speaking, short-term future goals deal with students' academic performance in all subjects, that is their exam results; medium-term future goals comprise being accepted by a good college or getting a good job after graduation, and long-term future goals involve preparing students for the challenges that they may face throughout their lives. While many parents may be more concerned with the short and medium-term outcomes, Yew Chung and Yew Wah have been always emphasizing the importance of preparing students for their future lives, a goal which can never be ignored. This presentation highlights the reasons why Yew Chung and Yew Wah remains persistent in the achievement of these three goals and what have been done throughout the process.

关于主题演讲

摘要：基础教育的一个主要功能，是培养学生具备足够的能力，以应对未来的挑战，这可以包括短期、中期和长期的未来挑战。一般理解，短期未来的目标是学生在学科上的学业表现，也就是他们的考试成绩；中期未来的目标，则包括进入优秀的大学，或者在毕业后找到理想的工作；至于长期未来的目标，则涉及为学生未来一生人可能面临的各种挑战做好准备。尽管许多家长可能更关注短期和中期的结果，然而，耀中耀华却一直强调，为学生做好终身准备的重要性，是绝对不能被忽视的。本报告的重点，是介绍耀中耀华为何坚持不懈地实现这三个目标，并为此所作出的努力。
