The government will launch a subsidy scheme with the aim of encouraging residents to take examinations for a number of language proficiency qualifications. Each applicant can get a subsidy of 1,000 patacas for each qualification if they get the required results.
The plan will be jointly launched by the Talent Development Committee, Education and Youth Affairs Bureau (DSEJ) and Macau Foundation (FM).
A press conference about the scheme was held yesterday at the committee’s office in Nam Van.
Addressing the press conference, Lei Lai Keng, a senior official of the Talent Development Committee, said the subsidy scheme aimed to encourage residents to take language proficiency examinations to achieve a specific level, as part of the government’s wider aim of encouraging residents to develop different kinds of practical skills.
