Controversy has sparked after the HKSAR Education Bureau’s release of teaching materials for the new curriculum of Citizenship, Economics and Society, designed for form 1 to 3 pupils (equivalent to year 8 to year 10 in England). The module 3.1 titled “Intimate Relationships with Affection and Propriety Part 2: Adolescents and intimate relationships” included worksheets to be completed in class. One component requires pupils to sign a commitment form during the first lesson of this module, promising to avoid sexual impulse and set limits in relationships – “I promise that I will develop self-discipline, self-control, and resistance to pornography” (picture 1). Some students view such a compulsory task as a violation of their autonomy as the Education Bureau has forcefully made the decision on their behalf.
