DEFINITION

Noun

A system in which primary and secondary school classes are divided into morning and afternoon sessions.

由来
  • 英语 “double session system” 的意译。
  • 为了尽可能容纳更多学生，让更多孩子能够获得教育，许多学校自1957年起都实行了双班制。
  • 上午班的上课时间一般是从7时30分至下午1时，下午班一般则是从下午1时至6时30分。
  • 双班制的实行给一部分教职人员带来许多不便。例如，由于两班的学生使用相同的学校设施，校长和教师在为学生制定适当的教育计划时，面临着许多障碍和约束。另外，因为教室通常供不应求，所以教师在安排补习班或强化班及规划时间表时，也面临问题。
  • 双班制也让两班的学校职员与学生之间缺少相处的机会，使得建立一所有凝聚力的学校更具难度。
  • 因为这种种原因，双班制原本预计在2000年正式结束，所有中学都转为单班制制度。
  • 绝大部分小学之后已逐一跟进实行单班制。然而，鉴于原址将进行重建，海星中学 (附小) 将在2027至2029年迁移至临时校舍并采用双班制，预计2030年翻新完毕后恢复单班制。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Mandarin term “双班制” is a paraphrase of the English term “double session system”.
  • Since 1957, many schools implemented the double-session system to accommodate as many students as possible, so that more children would be able to receive an education.
  • Generally, the morning session is from 7:30 am to 1 pm, and the afternoon session is from 1 pm to 6:30 pm.
  • The double session system comes with some inconveniences for teaching staff. For example, as the students in the two sessions use the same school facilities, principals and teachers face constraints when formulating their teaching plans and schedules. With a limited number of classrooms available, arranging remedial or enrichment classes becomes a challenge.
  • With the double session system, school staff and students in the morning and afternoon sessions also lack opportunities to socialise with each other, making it harder to develop a cohesive school community.
  • Due to the above reasons, the double session system was expected to officially end in 2000, and all secondary schools converted to the single- session system.
  • The vast majority of primary schools have also converted to the single session system. However, due to rebuilding works at its original campus, Maris Stella High School (Primary) will adopt the double session system when sited at its temporary campus from 2027 to 2029. It will revert to the single session system after the rebuilding works are completed, tentatively in 2030.
