SCOLAR launched the Quality English Language Education at Pre-primary Level Project in the 2007/08 school year to explore and develop more effective models of quality English language exposure of young children at the pre-primary level in Hong Kong, through strengthening support in English language education to kindergartens of different background. In the process, the Project provided participating schools and teachers directions and guidance on English language education and curriculum/activity planning and implementation through professional development programmes for teachers and intensive on-site support or consultancy services.
