family education should be strengthened and the help of the mass media solicited to achieve this aim;

more seminars on unruly and delinquent behaviour of pupils should be organised for teachers so that their counselling skill could be improved;

the number of school social workers should be increased;

the Yin Ngai Society should be encouraged to organise more activities to educate parents on family education;

full-day schooling should be developed in suitable schools;

children aged 11 to 15 should be specially targetted; and

the Junior Secondary Education

Assessment system and the

implementation of compulsory education should be improved.

These views have been conveyed to the Education Department.
