母語教學緩兵計
---------------------------------------

過去三年會考放榜，教學語言問題都成為焦點，中文中學考生表現，不止是傳媒焦點，教統局亦十分關注。因此，近年中學會考成績，代表並的不止是考生及學校成就，更是整個母語教學政策的成績表。

要改善會考成績，學校及考生的不二方法，是加強操練、提升學習效能及應試技巧。這兩年，都有曾被當局嘲諷為「大輸家」的中文中學，堅持在中四轉用英語教學，成功扭轉下跌的會考成績。

轉考淺易卷換成績

個別學校、學生要扭轉劣勢容易，但要提升整體母語教學學生成績，實在是一項教育工程，需要多方面配合。但對於教育成果，社會的耐性極為有限，母語教學政策下首批會考生成績欠佳，已換來不少負面批評。可以理解，當局對提升中中學生表現，一直都是心急如焚。

所以，過去兩年有關方面不停游說中文中學，讓學生報考較淺易的會考英文課程甲，造成今年英文課程甲及課程乙，及格率齊升的局面。有校長同程尚達講，明白當局想盡快有一張靚成績表，好向公眾交代，「利用課程甲，只為緩兵之計。」因為只要細心分析，就會發現課程甲考生雖有五成及格，但只有百分之十五取得C 級以上成績；這15% 才是英文課程乙的及格水平，亦是真正的及格率。

只是修飾表面伎倆

校長話，這種修飾表面的做法，其實並不陌生；近年升中派位的家長滿意率，逐年遞升，都是採用了相若的伎倆。近年當局加強家長教育，讓家長明白選校策略，不能一窩蜂將所有志願都填報名校，「家長懂得在第二、第三志願填次一級學校，買個保險，以首三志願計算的派位滿意率自然有所提升。」

同樣，中學會考英文課程甲及格率提升，高考英語運用科及格率卻創新低，可見成績是否真有改善，是好是壞，還看母語教學能否在偷來的時間，取得真正的進步。

唔怪得而家中中D英文成績咁好,咁中六收生又當唔當英文課程甲成績照計分架,如果要減分既,米又係自欺欺人既做法 :evil:

我覺得而家政府為左慳錢就用呢招一刀切既`英中`既方法，鬼叫有九年免費教育咩，加上又多新移民落o黎，條數有排計....又因為有d學校為左保存自己優勢就會轉為直資收盡最top既學生，而家長又為左仔女前途一定對英中有所渴望，唯有送佢地去直資享受我地認為優質英語教育既中學，咁政府o米慳好多錢咯......政府成日話呀麻`用者自付`，但九年免費教育實施左幾廿年，話取消就取消咩，如果真係取消..何止五十萬上街呀.....幾百萬都似....所以未整條咁既衰橋出o黎law~...唉...遲下我地香港免費教育唔知仲有冇呢？唔通又好似公立医院咁....

大媽,

What you said is very true, govt promote using Cantonese in education increasingly can please China, accomodate the more and more kids coming from China, save costs, push the middle-class to pay for their kids' education etc...

We cannot change the fact of returning back to China in 1997, those political parties only fight benefits for those China immigrants, the education professionals fight for their own interest. So what can we do now?  Continue to pay more and more tax to support the large deficit, pay for Donald Tsang's luxurious house, the increasing burden of public medication, the increasing education cost and subsidies for the new immigrants?  Either we have to go on riots or get out of such a sick place!!
