School Education Programme 2024 / 2025
The programme includes a number of education activities which are specially designed for teachers and students. These activities aim to enhance the knowledge of participants on ecology, the environment and function of marine parks. Educating the young generation is an important step to understand the importance of protecting our marine environment, observing the codes and regulations on marine conservation voluntarily and supporting the marine parks programme.
Our activities match the New Senior Secondary Curriculum and incorporate in "Moral and Civic Education components" of "Other Learning Experiences", assisting the whole person development of students. The regular school education programme includes school seminar, eco-tour and field study.
