Emphasis...

Just wonder... how many people had actually taken a good look at this mural? Recall seeing it somewhere? It's no other than the main reception area in MOE HQ building. Had not taken a good look at it (from this perspective) till got the chance to sit on the sofa facing it while waiting for someone. There's a brief about this... think it said, was jointly completed by representatives of 308 or 309 schools then...

Just wondering... are what's reflected on the mural representative of MOE's directions and emphasis in education?
Some catchy words... the one with the biggest font - INNOVATION and pH value!!! Other words... Creativity, Sports, Discipline, Sports, Pride, Courtesy, Maths, Vision,... and a recognisable computer system... Ah! Where's language? where's Humanities? where's Aesthetics and Arts? Hm... is this reflective of our all-rounded education?

well spotted :-)

i could identify the mural, and being a 'text-oriented' person, i actually did take the time to scan through the words.

but i must admit the imbalance did not occur to me at the time :-)

At a second thought... are the 'missing' elements assumed to be 'embedded'?

:D
