Young people face many challenges as they navigate their path into higher education. One of them is the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination (DSE). To help candidates make informed study choices, parents’ support and a well-thought-out plan are crucial. The Vocational Training Council (VTC) will co-host a two-talk Parents’ Programme with the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups (HKFYG) to help acquaint parents with the diverse study options, new trends in technology-enhanced learning and how the future workplace will look like, enabling them to gain useful information for planning the study pathway with their children together.
Themed “DSE Smart Tips”, the first talk is scheduled for 18 March (Saturday).

Presented by Joseph TSANG, Vice Chairman of the Hong Kong Association of Careers Masters and Guidance Masters, the talk will provide information on the latest study choices with statistical analysis to help gear DSE candidates up for charting a preferred future pathway.
