| 恐缺席率高浪費 審計署查逾千校
【明報專訊】審計署關注學生缺席率或導致浪費公帑,正向全港逾千中小學發問卷調查,並到特定學校深入了解情,訪問家長、社工、輔導教師及學生等所有相關人士。據悉,部分中學懷疑僅得七成學生上課,或有學生「生人霸死地」取得學籍後長期缺課,造成浪費。 部分中學疑僅七成學生上課 據悉,審計署正陸續向全港中、小學發出詳細問卷及一名為「Audit Review- Management of school attendance」的光碟,調查學生出席率、學生缺課會否造成浪費。據悉,現時缺課情於部分成績或操行較差的中學較為嚴重,小學則並不普遍。 有校長更指,有來自綜援家庭的學生,一旦停學便失去教育津貼,學生唯有「間歇性」上課保留學籍,直接造成資源浪費。現時所有資助中、小學均按班資助(直資學校除外),部分學生缺席不會導致資助減少。 停學失津貼 綜援生間歇返學 有Band3學校(主要取錄第三成績組別學生的學校)校長承認,差不多每日的缺席率也超過5%,相信所有學校都希望學生上學,但對於堅拒上課的學生,老師怎樣努力也無能為力。他承認,帳面上,上課學生人數少會造成浪費,但教師所花的努力、時間是無法用錢計算。 有中學校長關注「三三四」學制(3年初中、3年高中、4年大學),所有學生均須修讀6年中學課程,相信會有大批學生不適合讀主流中學而缺席。該校長期望政府配合社會福利署、教統局等部門,盡量鼓勵學生返回學校,或其他教育機構,避免太早踏入社會工作,造成社會問題。 推三三四恐大批學生缺席 津貼中學議會主席儲富有表示,議會已收到審計署知會,將調查學生出席率。他指,學校發現學生缺課3天,須向學生了解情,缺課7天必須安排社工進行家訪及上報教統局。不過,據他了解,有部分成績較弱的學校缺席率較高,或有學生長時間缺席,學校一般不會取消學生學籍。博愛醫院歷屆總理聯誼會梁省德中學校長雷其昌表示,學生缺課或由於家庭、朋友,並非單靠學校層面所能解決,期望審計署核數之餘,也要考慮學校情。 審計署多年來就各個教育範疇作出審核,曾炮轟前教署規劃小學學位失當造成浪費,以致日後教統局定下縮班、殺校政策。審計署表示,報告公布前,不會透露調查內容。 明報記者 梁永樂 |
