2.

In those schools which have adopted a 38-period week the

remaining five periods may be distributed as required, but in order to

maintain a balanced curriculum the Department advises that not all of

the five periods should be allocated to any one subject area, that not

more than three should be allocated to any single group of subjects

(basic, general or cultural as shown in the table), and that not

-

more than two should be allocated to religious knowledge, ethics or moral

education (where included in the curriculum) or to Putonghua (where

included).

3.

In primary schools adopting a less formal approach (e.g.

the 'learning by doing' approach) block timetabling is recommended,
