IMPORTANCE OF FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION
******
THE DIRECTOR OF SOCIAL WELFARE, MR. THOMAS LEE, TODAY SPOKE ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION IN AN EVER-CHANGING SCCIETY LIKE HONG KONG+,
SPEAKING AT THE OPENING CEREMONY OF THE EASTERN DISTRICT FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION PROGRAMME, HE SAID THAT THE TRADITIONAL CHINESE FAMILY IN HONG KONG COULD NO LONGER STAND THE IMPACT OF ALIEN INFLUENCES WHICH HAD BROUGHT ABOUT SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STRUCTURE AND CONCEPT OF THE FAMILY.
THIS, HE SAID, RESULTED IN THE CAUSES OF MANY SOCIAL PROBLEMS.
TO TACKLE THESE PROBLEMS, HE ADDED, THE PROMOTION OF FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION WAS ESSENTIAL.
HE EXPRESSED THE HOPE THAT THE PROGRAMME WOULD BE EXTENDED TO OTHER DISTRICTS SO THAT ALL RESIDENTS OF HONG KONG WOULD SOON RECOGNISE THE IMPORTANCE OF FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION AND HELP SOLVE MANY SOCIAL PROBLEMS.
