Policy Address

160.     Based on the current curriculum, the Education Bureau (EDB) will improve students' understanding of the Basic Law, step up the teaching support relating to the Basic Law and “One Country, Two Systems” in the primary and secondary school curricula and compile a learning package in this school year.  We also propose to increase study hours on the Basic Law and related topics.  Furthermore, the EDB will develop a database of questions on the Basic Law for students to attempt online and for schools to use in examinations.

161.      The EDB will invite the Curriculum Development Council to review the curriculum framework for moral and civic education at primary and secondary levels, and to develop an independent subject on “moral and national education”.  This initiative is expected to be implemented in the 2013-14 school year to further enhance the elements of national education.

162.     In addition, the Civil Service Bureau will enhance training and organise more exchange activities for civil servants to deepen their understanding of national development and affairs.
