Concern over PE tragedy victim expressed
The Director of Education, Mrs Helen C P Lai Yu, today (Thursday) expressed concern over the Primary 5 pupil who died after a Physical Education (PE) lesson yesterday and sent condolences to members of her family.
Speaking in response to media enquiries on the tragedy, Mrs Yu said the existing PE Guidelines issued by the Education Department should be adequate and she was confident that school authorities had observe the guidelines closely.
Mrs Yu had been in consultation today with the Director of Health, Dr Margaret Chan, who agreed that parents with reason to suspect their child to be suffering from certain illnesses in need of specialist medical advice may approach the Department of Health for referral. Their child will then be referred to appropriate medical practitioners for examination if necessary.
