Information kit to promote film classification system
The Television and Entertainment Licensing Authority (TELA) has recently produced an information kit on the film classification system and film censorship standards for distribution to secondary schools and parent/teacher associations.
The kit, consists of pamphlets, posters and fact sheets, is part of TELA's publicity campaign to enhance young people's understanding of the current three-tier film classification system.
It also aims at arousing a greater awareness among parents and teachers of their role in providing guidance for their children or their students in the selection of films.
A spokesman for TELA said today (Sunday): "We hope school principles and teachers will support our campaign by using the information in the kit as part of their curriculum.
"I am sure it will help increase the students' knowledge on the system and provide useful guidance in their choice of films, thus helping them to choose films suitable for them," he added.
Besides, staff from TELA will visit schools regularly to give further information on the film classification system.
