The government would legislate for the new measures suggested in the educational reform proposals should members of the Education Council reach a consensus in a meeting next Friday. The Director of Education and Youth Affairs Bureau, Mr Sou Chio Fai, disclosed this last week after a meeting with representatives of the New Macau Association. The Secretary for Social Affairs and Culture, Dr Fernando Chui Sai On, hosted the meeting, during which they discussed the development of non-tertiary education in Macao. Mr Sou revealed that members of the Education Council were scheduled to meet next Friday to further discuss the proposals for educational reform, which include extending the period for free education to children in kindergarten, as well as other measures to enhance the overall quality of education in Macao. The proposals were made public in July 2003 for public consultation. Three mouths ago, members of the Education Council concluded that the period for free education should be extended from 10 to 12 years to benefit children in kindergarten.
