Two years ago they secured the sponsorship of
the Hong Kong Society for Child Health and Development, referred
to by Mr Ho.
This enabled them to initiate a pilot, project
in seven secondary schools. Once the pilot scheme has been
completed, we shall have a tried and tested body of materials
and ideas which will be available to all teachers in junior
secondary classes.

Several Members have spoken on the importance of moral education.
The Government recognises this and a general school curriculum
has been revised to reflect greater awareness of the key importance of this subject. [In 1981, we issued general guidelines
on moral education in schools. The Education Department prepares
reference materials on moral education and circulates them to
schools. Close contacts between schools and homes are promoted
through various communication channels such as parents day,
speech day and open day. Students are encouraged to take part
in extra-curricula activities. The Education Department organises
an exhibition on moral education every two years. This year's
exhibition will be held in July and will be on the theme
'Caring and Sharing'.[Sir I hope that today's debate will help
to increase public interest in this subject and so help to
increase our parents' support for activities designed to
help the moral development of their children.

Sir, I support the motion.
