High School Libraries Double as Community Libraries with Support from the Ministry of Education
Announced Date：2021-03-22
Announced Unit：Division of Academic Senior High Education
The Ministry of Education has implemented the Community Libraries in Schools program in various public senior high schools in line with the ministry's effort to better facilitate the allocation and resources of school libraries. Besides creating a conducive learning environment for students, the program also serves to encourage members of the community to become avid readers themselves. In this way, schools and communities can build stronger ties as both parties reap benefits from the program. At present, 118 schools have completed the preparation works and opened their libraries to the community. More schools will participate in this program in time to come as the ministry continues to provide support for them with the objective of promoting a culture of reading in the nation.
