In support of the policy, the Curriculum
Development Committee has prepared a comprehensive
Guidelines on Sex Education in Secondary Schools and copies
were distributed to secondary schools in May last year.
As to progress, virtually all primary schools and
most secondary schools offer sex education in some form,
and many schools provide sex education through both the
formal and the informal curriculum. The Education
Department will be carrying out a a survey of schools later
this year to find out how implementation of the Guidelines
is proceeding.
Various supporting services are provided by the
Department, including a programme of seminars and workshops
for teachers. In addition, more than 300 teachers have
organised by the Family Planning

Association while others have attended the Certificate
Course on Sex Education organised by the University of Hong
Kong's Department of Extra-mural Studies. Family life
education programmes are also now being produced by the
Educational Television Service.
