“As educators ourselves, we recognise that the success of any talk or workshop depends to a large extent on the quality of the speaker or facilitator... We are disappointed that this time they had sent someone who was unable to address the concerns of the participants,” said Dr Hon. He said the school will provide feedback to the vendor, and is planning to design its own future workshops. “One lesson we can learn from this episode is that even if a programme is approved by both MSF and MOE, things can go wrong. We have to depend on ourselves to ensure the quality of our programmes,” added Dr Hon. However the school should still adopt an open culture when it comes to engaging external speakers in the future. “Workshops or seminars of this nature will give the necessary space for our students to think, synthesise and exercise their ethical reasoning. Most important, we must always observe mutual respect in any discussion, which is our win-win philosophy,” he said.
