Anti-pollution education pack to be enhanced
The Environmental Protection Department (EPD) has received a donation of $1.65 million from The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust (HKJCCT) for the enhancement of an anti-pollution pack for secondary schools and for a survey on the use of various environmental education teaching kits by schools.
"The anti-pollution pack, consisting of a video, a set of slides, and written information on various pollution problems and controls, is the first comprehensive teaching kit on environmental protection for secondary schools in Hong Kong," said EPD's Community Relations Officer, Mr Edward Lam.
Developed in 1990 with a $5 million grant from HKJCCT, the pack has been well received by schools, community groups, voluntary agencies and the public, through school libraries and EPD's Environmental Resource Centre.
Mr Lam said the enhancement would provide up-to-date information to students and the public on the progress made in pollution control over the last five
years.
"All secondary schools will be given a copy of the updated pack," he said.
