Life Planning Education (LPE) for Primary Schools
LPE is considered as an ongoing and lifelong process for personal fulfillment, with different foci at different stages of lifetime. In recent years, many local and overseas scholars have recommended the implementation of LPE curriculum at primary level. Early exposure to LPE could also help students develop a broader view of future pathways and occupations, and refrain from holding gender or social status stereotypes in relation to certain jobs. Given the incessant changes in job nature and requirements, it becomes more important to nurture students’ soft skills, morals, ethics, positive attitudes and adaptability, and maintain an open attitude towards early introduction of life planning at upper primary level.
