While the liberal studies subject will be introduced in senior secondary education in 2009, the ICAC has launched Hong Kong’s first audio-visual liberal studies teaching package to promote moral education among secondary school students.
In delivering her welcoming remarks at the launching ceremony yesterday (Saturday), ICAC's Director of Community Relations, Mrs Erika Hui Lam Yin-ming, said as part of the ICAC's continuous efforts to promote moral education among the youth, a teaching pa ckage was produced to foster positive values through the liberal studies curriculum.
Mrs Hui said the package, which comprised a video film and 12 teaching modules, was designed to help liberal studies teachers to stimulate interest and discussion in classrooms.
The video film, featuring a young boxing-lover, shows how young people handle ethical dilemma, resist temptation and overcome adversities.
