Director of Education Mr. WE Gregg. today called teachers and enlightened leaders in all walks of life to demonstrate how Hong Kong Government is dedicated to happiness and well being of all citizens
Speaking at opening of Hong Kong Federation of Students seminar Mr. Gregg said a more conscious effort must be taken to point out the glaring fallacies and the stream of lies and false rumours put out by those who seek to destroy the very fabric of Hong Kong's stability.
One way of combatting this, he suggested was to enlarge the scope of teaching in civics in Hong Kong's schools
"Now that authority of Government and its motives are being challenged even though by small minority, which is prepared to use any means however foul to serve their ends, the scope of our teaching of civics must be enlarged". Mr. Gregg said.
"We must for example be prepared to explain and justify basis of our constitution, the areas in which it is capable of modification and improvement, in the light of changing circumstances", Mr. Gregg condemned the attempt of the small minority to strike at the very root of the condition of stability and reliability which make it possible for Hong Kong to support a population of four, repeat four million.
