Solution to Mui Wo Drug Treatment delimma

Onsen

The local expatriates of Mui Wo has been asking the educational bureau to set up a bi-lingual or international school at the present Mui Wo school site for several years.  They ran a sign-in campaign at Mui Wo piers to petition for the use of this school shortly after the ED sacked the secondary school.  So, they have a very high hope that the government will listen to them.

All of a sudden, the government just announced giving the Mui Wo school to an outside body without even conselling them in the first place.  They are rightfully to be mad.  

The solution for the situation is to set up a local and international English streams by combining the Mui Wo primary school and setting up the new international stream with Englihs as the medium of exchange.  This school will include primary and secondary sections on site to satisfy the demand from the local and expatriates' needs.  

At the same time, the drug treatment center can use the existing Mui Wo Primary School site as for residential use while the kids can go to this newly set up school for education.  That can separate the  drug treatment function and education into 2 places.  The kids will not be stimatized by being a drug treatment center.  

By having the English as the medium of communciation in the international stream, that will enhance the overall language proficiency of the two streams.

Thanks.  I am going to talk to one of the school manager of Tsing Sun College or Drug Treatment Center about my proposal today to see whether it works.  

In fact, one school manager has raised doubt about whether it is a correct way to have a permanent set up for a school for Tsing Sun.  

Drug treatment should be a separate issue that should not be combined with schooling unless this is a confined prison type of environment where the inmates cannot go outside the compound.  If the kids of Tsing Sun can go to regular schools while receiving the treatment from Tsing Sun Drug Treatment Center, that would be the best of both worlds.

p.s. I just copied and pasted and send it to Mr. Suen via email.
