On June 24, 2008, two scholars, Philippa Cordingley (Chief Executive) and Paul Crisp (Manging Director), from Centre for the Use of Research and Evidence in Education (CUREE), United Kingdom visited our school (PLKLFC). Their study focuses on developing effective use of research and evidence in education so as to improve practice and policy and to help raise standards.

During the visit, a mini-conference was held so that ideas on various educational topics could be exchanged. For example, Principal talked about how our school developed high-efficiency staff development periods. Mr. Leung shared his experience in applying research-based learning to Liberal Studies’ topics. Dr. Suen presented how research-based learning promoted students’ learning in neuroscience and what our school-based biotechnology curriculum was. Besides, at the start of the conference, three student representatives shared their learning experience in PLKLFC.
