Question

To ask the Minister for Education (a) how the Ministry ensures the Sexuality Education curriculum's approach to gender-based violence remains relevant and effective; and (b) whether any review or update of the curriculum is planned.

Response

  1. Through the Character and Citizenship Education curriculum and Sexuality Education lessons, students learn the importance of respect, privacy and safety, and that any form of abuse and harassment is unacceptable. They also learn to guard against and report abuse and violence, including gender-based ones.
  2. MOE regularly reviews its curriculum and gathers feedback from stakeholders to ensure its relevance and effectiveness. The resources are also regularly updated to address emerging issues and risks. For example, students learn how to respond appropriately to new form of online harms, such as image-based sexual abuse and technology-facilitated gender-based violence.
