Supplementary to Question No. 11
in the Legislative Council on 6.11.85
Mr. Szeto:- According to the guideline on civic education
the Government has not accepted the suggestion of
introducing a subject of civil education in schools but
instead the Government has indicated that it welcomes
the introduction of such a subject by the schools
themselves. I would like the Government to inform this
Council whether extra resources will be provided to
schools that take up the initiative and provide for such a
subject themselves.
Secretary for District Administration:- Sir, with your
permission I would like to consult the Director of
Education and submit a written reply.
Mrs. Ng:- Sir, will the Government inform this Council
the details concerning staff training with regard to civic
education including pre-service and in-service training?
Secretary for District Administration: - Likewise Sir, may
I include that in my written reply.
Dr. Ho:- Sir, will adult education centres be also
funded to run civic education courses for working adults
as well?
