Post# of 58
Sibling Group Holdings is well aware that not only is English an official language in Hong Kong, its status is such that the ability to demonstrate proficiencies in speaking it among college-bound students has become a requirement on many levels. In conjunction with the company’s newly acquired subsidiary, Urban Planet Mobile (UPM), the partnership is penetrating the Hong Kong market comprised of secondary schools with English writing aid, Writing Planet™.
Students attending Lok Sin Tong Schools for the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) will have access to Writing Planet in their pursuit of passing grades on their final exam. The test at hand is taken by senior level students seeking access to college throughout the Special Administrative Region of China. The partnership, which was entered into between UPM and Integrative Counseling Services Limited, could provide access to a host of schools with enrollment totals exceeding 9,000 students.
Peppina Tse, Vice President of Integrated Counselling Services, commented, “There is a growing emphasis in the HKSDE on English language proficiency, and in particular competencies-based skills such as reading and writing.” In a report from the University of North Carolina, writing is an extension of listening and speaking, and, therefore, students must have established confidence in their language abilities before written output can be effectively improved.
Sibling Group sees their web-based writing practice tool as a valuable asset within international learning markets as a whole. “It has been proven that more writing practice with immediate feedback using programs such as Writing Planet can lead to improved scores,” added Tse.
A World Bank report has noted that that enrollment in secondary schools throughout Hong Kong is trending upwards towards 90 percent of qualifying students. With more than 1,100 schools throughout the city, the demand for English educational solutions such as Writing Planet is unmistakable.
