District governance: Scheme helps ease parental pressure

     The Government strives to enhance the efficacy of district governance and actively follows up on various district initiatives. One of them is the School-based After School Care Service Scheme that targets to enhance support for parents. 
 
     Funded by the Community Care Fund, this well-received scheme has been expanded in the 2024-25 school year to cover over 110 primary schools in 18 districts, benefitting over 5 000 students.
 
     News.gov.hk visited one of the participating primary schools to learn more about the after-school activity arrangements and spoke to one of the service operators as well as parents and students about the benefits of joining the scheme.
