School managers and supervisors may have to undergo training to remain in their posts.

Senior education officer Sharon Lau Chan-yee said setting criteria for school managers and supervisors to ensure they were up to standard was being considered.

Ms Lau said no criteria existed for people wanting to join school management committees, but a working group had been set up under the Education Department to look at the issue.

The department is also running, for the first time, half-day training courses for school managers and supervisors.

About 830 school managers and supervisors have applied to join the courses, which comprise three half-day sessions.

At the first session they will be instructed on education ordinances, school funding, their roles and responsibilities and recent reforms by the department.

In the second session they will be briefed on school management and ways to build up partnerships with parents.
