To help students formulate life plans and financial management concepts

Chen Guoji pointed out that what primary-level children lack most is self-confidence and the opportunity to see different elements of society. He pointed out that 65% of young people living in subdivided housing are new immigrants, limited by family background and resources, and their vision is narrow, which also affects their self-confidence. It will also form a vicious circle making it less willing to contact the outside world.

He hopes that through the project, mentors with work and social experience will provide guidance, so that participating students can learn more about the social situation in Hong Kong, life planning and financial knowledge.

Chen explained that the plan will be divided into some compulsory and elective courses. The former includes some financial skills, life planning, etc., while the latter is based on students' abilities and interests, such as music, sports, etc. The plan will have "tutors" and "friend teachers". , Elite athletes like Zhang Jialang may not be in Hong Kong for a long time, so it is impossible to lead students for a long time, but they can serve as mentors and teach students fencing skills in specific classes.

He also pointed out that some music teachers have indicated that they can regularly provide free music classes for grassroots students.

Chen Guoji also said that the government will provide training for friends and teachers, including lectures and communication skills for young people, how to deal with and refer students if they have behavioral and emotional problems.

Success requires a father?

Chen: I don't know the comment

Chen Guoji revealed that the amount pledged by the business community has far exceeded the planned expenditure of 20 million yuan, but at the same time it is necessary to consider whether there are enough friends and teachers to match, so he agrees that the quota of 2,000 places in the plan is indeed not enough, but it needs to be tried first. We will continue to review and if the number of participating teachers is sufficient, we may consider increasing the number to 4,000 or even 6,000 in the future.

There is a suggestion that a group form can be used, such as 2 friends and teachers to assist 6 students, Chen Guoji pointed out that it can be considered in the future; as for the opinion that the plan should be extended from 1 year to 5 years, Chen Guoji stated that it is difficult, but stressed that after the project is completed, the teachers and friends They will still keep in touch with each other, and will set up an old student association. I also hope that the students can help other students in need when they grow up.

At the end of the show, the host asked whether "success requires fathers" in the real world, and grassroots children are always "lost at the starting line". If they are exposed to the outside world, will they really solve their personal problems.

Chen Guoji said with a smile, "I don't even know what the comment is about." But he reiterated that the most important thing children at the grassroots lack is self-confidence. Allowing them to see different levels of society will help broaden their horizons. Don't underestimate these experiences.
