Gifted Education Fund: Off-school Advanced Learning Programmes (2023/24)
Nurturing talents has always been a focus of EDB. We are encouraging schools to develop school-based talent pools as a way to strengthen the identification and nurturing of gifted students, as well as nominate more of them to take part in off-school gifted programmes and competitions.
The Gifted Education Fund not only supports the enhanced services of the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education (HKAGE), but also funds Off-school Advanced Learning Programmes (OSALPs) for gifted students. In the current school year, 12 new programmes have been rolled out. Covering such themes as STEAM (including aerospace and artificial intelligence), humanities and social science, as well as apprenticeship and entrepreneurship, these programmes are extensive and challenging. EDB is strengthening collaboration with HKAGE whose representatives will be involved in the selection process of all programmes.
Applications are now open for Off-school Advanced Learning Programmes (2023/24 school year)! Schools can make good use of their school-based talent pools and nominate gifted students for programmes that suit their needs and interests.
