Questions: Can you tell us if there is any substance to reports about the possibility of the Governor taking long leave?
CS: I do not think there is any substance to this rumour. The Governor has made it very very clear on many occasions in the past that he will remain the Governor of Hong Kong until June 30, 1997.

Parents agree to implementation of sex education in schools
A recent survey commissioned by the Committee on Home-School Co- operation revealed that parents generally agreed to the implementation of sex education in schools.
Entitled "Parents' view on Sex Education", the survey was conducted by the City University of Hong Kong. A total of 500 parents from a sample of 41 secondary schools were interviewed.
The survey was a follow-up action of a book review on obscene comics by members of Parent-Teacher Associations (PTA) last year.
The review showed that young people obtained negative sex materials through various channels such as comics and computer.
Members of PTA urged the Education Department to review the curriculum of sex education and provide students with updated knowledge in order to tie in with the changes of information technology.
