Civic Education

Objectives

  • To nurture in students civic attitudes and values including "National Identity", "Responsibility" and "Commitment" with reference to youth development and social changes, and help students uphold positive values in making reasonable judgment and action when facing personal and social issues. To expand students' horizons and their understanding of other people, the community, our country and the world.
  • To further promote national education. After return of Hong Kong to China, enhancing students' understanding of our country and national identity, their commitment to national development and sense of responsibility toward public welfare has become an important task of the Education Bureau. Students are encouraged to understand the characteristics of Hong Kong society and the importance of the rule of law, democracy, human rights and justice, and put them into practice in life.
  • To strengthen students' critical thinking and problem solving skills such that they can analyse social and political issues objectively and make reasonable judgment.
