The quality of teachers is an important factor in evaluating a school.
When choosing a school, parents value the teacher's qualifications, academic qualifications, the number of foreign teachers, and the teacher-student ratio very much. When students studying at school, parents will evaluate whether the teacher's class is vivid, whether the explanation is clear, and whether the tutoring is timely.
The quality of teachers is one of the most important factors in determining whether a school can be called an excellent school.
The teaching staff of the Affiliated School of Jinan University for Hong Kong and Macao Students allows learning to span time and space and the teaching and learning is in the use and transfer of knowledge.
In class, students can follow famous teachers from Hong Kong to learn beyond knowledge itself and have great performance at every test.
On the playground, students can follow the physical fitness experts from Italy to strengthen their bodies and learn the technical skills of soccer.
In the laboratory, students can enjoy the wonderful experimental moment and communicate with the guest lecturer from The Education University of Hong Kong face to face.
During ECA time, students can discuss with experienced fitness instructors about having better body shape.
On the volleyball court, students can discuss volleyball skills with King Sir (the father of beach volleyball in Hong Kong).
