為何 GE ？

• 我校已夠多計劃，為何還要加上 GE ？• 我校「資優生」不多， GE 與我校關係不大。

• GE ，不是由 Ed. Psy. 負責的嗎？• 我校忙於找尋課改的入手點，無暇攪 GE 。• GE 跟我校傳統和發展難扯上關係。• 我懷疑我校能投放多少資源於 GE 上。• GE ？我校沒有這門訓練的老師。• GE 以全體學生為對象？那有這麼多老師人手？

GE ：教育新角度

GE 是 ... • 是一個看教育的新角度

• 是一個把教育優化的途徑

• 是一個讓教師重新檢視教育理念的機會

• 是一個讓人人都愉快學習的教育過程

• 是一個也不放棄的教育實踐

strength coverage across the school programmes (school-wise diagnosis)
