Committee on Home-School Co-operation (CHSC) is an advisory committee serving the
Education Department promoting interaction between parents and schools by promoting the creation of parent-teacher associations (PTAs) as well as giving grants, establishing training materials and surveys, and promoting improvements of ties between families and the schools that serve their children.[1] Nora Tong of the South China Morning Post described it as a "semi-governmental" organisation.[2]
History
The CHSC was established in 1993. The Education Department Report No. 5, issued in 1992, recommended the creation of the CHSC.[3]
In 2002–2003, in Hong Kong, there were over 1,395 parent-teacher associations, while the number in 1992 was around 70; this outcome was promoted though the establishment of CHSC.[4]
