Drug education roving exhibitions
Four three-day drug education roving exhibitions will be held in the next two weeks to deliver more effectively the anti-drug messages to students and their parents.
The Chief Secretary, Mrs Anson Chan; the Director of Education, Mrs Helen C P Lai Yu; and the Chairman of the Committee on Home-School Co-operation, Mr Tik Chi-yuen will officiate at the exhibition launching ceremony at New World Plaza, Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui at 4.30 pm on Tuesday (January 30).
The exhibition is organised by the Committee on Home-School Co-operation in response to the recommendations made at the Governor's Summit Meeting held last March to curb drug abuse.
