Dropping Out of School 輟學


鏗鏘集:輟學 Dropping Out of School

在現行法例下,6 歲至 15 歲兒童必須在學校就學,如學生連續缺課七天,便會被定義為「缺課」,學校必須呈報。根據教育局提供的最新數字,目前全港有逾5000個缺課個案,創九年新高。不過,部分每星期只上課一、兩天,甚至幾小時的學童,便不計算在內。有處理輟學學童問題的青年機構表示,這些潛在個案比想像嚴重。學生斷續缺課的時間越長,便越難重新融入學校生活,過去政府及各社福機構一直為缺課學童提供不同類型支援及課程,成效怎樣?本集會一一探討。

Under current laws, children aged 6 to 15 must attend school. If a student is absent from school for seven consecutive days, he or she will be defined as "absent" and the school must report it. According to the latest figures provided by the Education Bureau, there are currently more than 5,000 cases of absenteeism in Hong Kong, a nine-year high. However, some students who only attend classes one or two days a week, or even a few hours, are not counted. Youth organizations that deal with the problem of dropouts say that these potential cases are more serious than imagined. The longer students are absent from school, the more difficult it is for them to reintegrate into school life. In the past, the government and various social welfare organizations have been providing different types of support and courses for absent students. What are the results? This episode will explore them one by one.
