Survey on “Practising Certificate”
《執業證書》間卷調查

In February 2026, the Education Bureau has submitted the discussion paper regarding “Enhancing the Teacher Registration Mechanism through Amendments to the Education Ordinance (Cap. 279) and Safeguarding the Education Profession” to the Legislative Council Panel on Education to introduce the “Practising certificate” and regular renewal requirements.

On 5^th February 2026, the Hong Kong Association of the Heads of Secondary Schools sent a letter to all Legislative Council members to express opinions.  We are now gathering feedback from our members and warmly invite principals, along with 3-5 teachers with different levels of experience from each school, to complete this survey by 31^st March 2026 (Tuesday) for our review.  Thank you for your support!
