Macao Pui Ching Middle School: 10 Years of Curriculum Reform was issued today at 11:00am.  The book is published in commemoration of the 130th anniversary of the founding of Pui Ching Middle School, documenting the principles behind and the outcomes of our curriculum reform in the last ten years.

We have had the pleasure of Professor Chou Chu-ing joining our editorial team. Professor Chou has been a visiting scholar in Mainland China, Macao S.A.R., the United States, Vienna, etc. and offered her expertise in examining Pui Ching’s curriculum reform.  It is hoped that through the publication, we could share our experience with other regions and contribute to our understanding of education.

Principal Kou pointed out that over the past decade, our curriculum reform has been based on data analysis and examination of subject and class differences.  The Covid-19 situation at the beginning of this year made it necessary to move our classes online for three months.  Thanks to e-learning and systematic self-study plans, learning continued at home during school suspension.  For the future, we hope to foster individuals who are dedicated to progressing with the times. 

Director of the Association of Cultural Education of Macao Mr. Lam Fat Iam expressed that Pui Ching Middle School has demonstrated outstanding teaching outcomes in all subject areas.  Macao Pui Ching Middle School: 10 Years of Curriculum Reform documents the principles and outcomes of the school’s reform in the last decade.  The book is the outcome of international trends in education reform and school-based action research.  It is the culmination of ten years of experience and reveals the secret of quality education—the Pui Ching experience.
