Details
2. Moral and civic education, as one of the four key tasks of the current curriculum reform, aims at helping students to develop positive values and attitudes. As stipulated in the curriculum reform document, a holistic perception of moral and civic education covering various issues related to values development such as health/sex/environmental education is proposed for promotion in schools.
3. The implementation of moral and civic education should be learner- focused. Learning opportunities should be provided for students to develop and reflect on their values and attitudes using events relevant to their daily life. In the domain of values and attitudes: perseverance, responsibility, respect for others, national identity and commitment are the five values and attitudes
