Moral, Civic and National Education

Background

Moral, Civic and National Education is an essential element of whole-person education which aims at fostering students' positive values and attitudes through the school curriculum and the provision of diversified learning experiences. It also develops students' ability to analyse and judge issues relating to personal, family, social, national and global issues at different developmental stages, and enhances their willingness to make commitment and contribution.

The Revised Moral and Civic Education Curriculum Framework (2008)
Since the Curriculum Reform, Moral and Civic Education has gained wide support from the education sector. In response to the rapid societal changes and the public's expectations on the young generation, the Education Bureau has revised and enriched the Moral and Civic Education Curriculum Framework. Apart from introducing "Care for Others" and "Integrity" as two additional priority values, the learning objectives at each Key Stage have been added and additional "life event" exemplars provided to support the promotion of moral and civic education in schools.

In addition, the Education Bureau has provided curriculum development tools such as "Examples of teaching themes relating to the concepts/values of Moral and Civic Education in various Key Learning Areas and subjects" and "School Curriculum Audit Tool" for curriculum planning and review by schools to attain the learning goals for whole-person development.
