Parent Manager Election
Suggested learning time: approximately 30 minutes
Fundamental Principles
- The election of parent managers should be conducted by the recognized parent-teacher association (RPTA). The constitution of the RPTA should specify that only parents of current pupils or serving teachers (exclugin specialist staff) of the school may elect or become its office bearers. A parent-teacher association may need to amend its constitution in order to fulfil the conditions for recognition by the IMC.
- All parents of current pupils of the school have equal voting right and right candidature. For the sake of administrative arrangements, the RPTA may give pupils two ballot papers each of their parents to vote. However, please note that each parent should only be given one vote irrespective of the number of his/her children studying at the school.
- The voting is conducted by secret ballot.
Please read Section 40AO - Nomination of Parent Manager of the Education Ordinance and Guide for Parent Manager Election.
