Sex education in Hong Kong schools has been criticized as out-of-date, and the curriculum guidelines have been used for more than 20 years.

Kang Chen Cuihua said that after the publication of the new document, "sex education and moral education for citizens in 1997 and 1998 will no longer be an official document." Although the 2008 version will not be removed from the shelves, it will no longer be a guidance document. You need to decide whether to refer to the old documents, "You can use it freely, and you can continue to use it... It's always the school's choice to see and use it."
