Ms Corinne Fong, Executive Director of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) says,
“Were incredibly pleased that the MOE has confirmed the inclusion of Animal Welfare in the new Character & Citizenship Education (CCE) curriculum starting next year, with the primary and secondary students. Our meeting with the Ministry earlier this year regarding the CCE curriculum went well, and we discussed extensively on the importance of teaching our young good values. We cannot stress enough the importance of these changes to the education curriculum as we are raising the next generation of young girls and boys to be respectable, responsible citizens, and to live lives of kindness, having compassion for animals and fellow human beings. This is the breakthrough weve been hoping for!
We are currently putting together a dedicated website for educators, teachers and students. This site will serve as a resource material for those who wish to teach or learn about animal welfare. As our schools have a fair amount of autonomy when it comes to deciding the curriculum for the CCE syllabus, we look forward to helping our educators and children with this resource.
