Teaching in Key Subject Areas (National Excellent Teacher Training Initiative)

专业介绍

The Master of Education Degree Programme in Teaching in Key Subject Areas (National Excellent Teacher Training Initiative) (the NETTI) is designed to meet the professional development needs of those interested in developing their educational career nationally in the Chinese Mainland. It aims to provide students with a solid grounding in state-of-the-art science education research, theories, and practice for a range of educational contexts in the region. The programme has been included in the second batch of pilot universities for the NETTI in the Chinese Mainland. Graduates of the programme can benefit from the policy that exempts them from taking the national primary and secondary school teacher qualification examination in the Chinese Mainland.

According to the Education Ordinance of Hong Kong, a person applying for registration as a Teacher must hold teacher qualification (e.g., a local Teacher’s Certificate or Post-graduate Diploma/Certificate in Education) and meet other specified conditions.  This master’s degree programme is not equivalent to a teacher’s certificate or post-graduate diploma/certificate in education. Graduates of this programme cannot obtain teaching qualification in Hong Kong directly.

Students will be required to complete 8 weeks of teaching practicums in designated schools in the Chinese Mainland. The teaching practicums are expected to be conducted over 6 weeks in May to June in the first year of study; and the remaining 2 weeks are expected to happen within the second year of study.
