Gee-dor-dor to make debut in Macau
2000-12-9
The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) today (Saturday) presented 80 Gee-dor-dor education kits to its Macau counterparts for their use in primary schools.
Presenting the kits, ICAC's Chief Education and Mass Communication Officer Cynthia Lau said the ICAC was happy to share its experience with other anti-graft agencies.
Receiving the packages at the ICAC headquarters, the Macau Commission Against Corruption’s Senior Officer of the Community Relations Department, Carol Wong, said public education was an important long-term measure to combat corruption.
She said the Department had been conducting talks in primary and secondary schools as well as tertiary institutions as part of its corruption prevention programmes.
“We find the Gee-dor-dor education kits a rather innovative and interesting way of educating young children about the importance of a clean culture,” said Ms Wong, who is in Hong Kong to attend an ICAC youth workshop.
She said the teaching kits would be distributed to primary schools in Macau.
The kits, featuring Flying Rabbit Gee-dor-dor and other cartoon characters, were first launched by the ICAC last year in kindergartens and primary schools to instill virtues such as honesty, fairness and self-discipline among children.
This year's kit contains a teacher's handbook, a compact disc of children songs and a videotape of the 20-episode Gee-dor-dor TV cartoons telecast in summer.
“The kit has been well-received among students and teachers since its launch last month,” said Ms Lau, adding that an interactive toy will soon be produced for primary students.
The Gee-dor-dor education kits given out at the request of Macau's Commission Against Corruption comprise 40 each from last year's and this year's editions.
