start-up, education and learning, children and youth, Impact Incubator

Providing support to schools and teachers in the design and delivery of school-based enrichment programmes for underachieving students

 

 

The venture aims to provide professional training/ workshops to 30 teachers from 20 primary/secondary schools and facilitate their design and delivery of school-based enrichment programmes for underachieving students (also known as "invisible talents") from low-income families.

The venture will arrange one prospective teacher to provide on-site support to each participating school for executing the programmes. Besides, support through talks, resource booklet, hotline and WhatsApp groups will be provided to parents of the participating students to let the parents understand more about the concept of "invisible talents", the support for "underachievers" that is required, as well as their children’s learning progress and outcome.
