Introduction of the programme
The Hong Kong Green School Award is organised by the Environmental Campaign Committee, Environmental Protection Department and Education Bureau since 2000. The Education University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Productivity Council and Vocational Training Council are the co-organisers.
The objectives of this Scheme are to encourage schools to formulate a school environmental policy and environmental management plan towards a green school; enhance environmental awareness, develop environmentally friendly attitude and promote green practices among school managers, teachers, non-teaching staff, students and their parents.
From 2006 onwards, Hong Kong Green Pre-school Award has been incorporated into Hong Kong Green School Award which now comprises the Pre-school, Primary School and Secondary School Categories. The award scheme comprises environmental training workshops, competition and adjudication.
