24 乌莎拉妮（官委议员）女士询问教育部长：(a) 教育部是否考虑将戏剧或舞台剧纳入小学核心课程的艺术教育部分？(b) 如果考虑过，结果如何？

 

陈振声（教育部长）先生：小学课程侧重于为儿童提供早期学习基础知识的坚实基础，特别是在识字、算术和社交情感能力方面。

 

所有小学一年级和二年级学生在课余时间参加”主动学习计划“，该计划有一个”戏剧“模块，帮助学生通过角色扮演发展社交情感能力。

 

虽然戏剧并不是小学低年级以上课程的一部分，但它是各学科教师可以采用的教学工具之一，以加强学习。例如，可以采用演讲和戏剧活动来培养英语和母语的沟通技巧。

 

一些学校还将戏剧作为课外活动或补习班。教育部将继续审查如何在学校使用戏剧来支持学生的全面发展。

24 Ms Usha Chandradas asked the Minister for Education (a) whether the Ministry has considered including drama or theatre studies as part of the arts education component of its core primary school syllabus; and (b) if so, what have been the outcomes of such considerations.

Mr Chan Chun Sing: The Primary school curriculum focuses on providing children with a strong foundation in the early fundamentals of learning, particularly in literacy, numeracy and social-emotional competencies.

All Primary 1 and 2 students participate in the Programme for Active Learning during curriculum time, which has a Drama module to help students develop social-emotional competencies through role-play.

While drama is not part of the primary school curriculum beyond lower primary levels, it is one of the pedagogical tools that teachers across subjects can adopt to enhance learning. For example, speech and drama activities can be employed to develop communication skills in English and Mother Tongue Languages.

Some schools also offer Drama as a Co-Curricular Activity or as an enrichment programme. The Ministry of Education will continue to review how Drama can be used in schools to support the holistic development of students.
