73 public schools join new scheme to hire native English-speaking teachers

Hong Kong's Education Bureau has introduced an innovative recruitment framework enabling 73 public schools to expand their English language instruction capacity. This flexible hiring initiative addresses the growing demand for qualified native English speakers in classrooms while offering schools greater autonomy in staffing decisions. Although compensation packages are more modest compared to traditional positions, the scheme provides institutions with streamlined recruitment processes and opportunities to enhance their English education programs through direct hiring of international educators.
