(1) Career and Life Planning Grant (CLPG)

Starting from the 2014/15 school year, the Education Bureau (EDB) has provided public sector (including special schools) schools and Direct Subsidy Scheme schools operating classes at senior secondary levels with an annual recurrent Career and Life Planning Grant (CLPG) to enhance the capacity of responsible teaching team and to facilitate the co-ordination and implementation of life planning.  Starting from the 2016/17 school year, schools may turn the CLPG into regular teaching posts to strengthen the manpower for the implementation of life planning education and related guidance services.  In order to provide more stable teacher manpower for the development of life planning education and related guidance services, EDB has announced the enhancement measures and long-term arrangements for all public-sector schools turning the CLPG into regular teaching posts by 2022/23.  For related administrative arrangement, please refer to the School Administration Guide Chapter 3.8.3 "Life planning education and career guidance for secondary schools".

(2) Life planning education (LPE) at junior secondary levels

In the report submitted by the Task Force on Review of School Curriculum in September 2020, it is recommended that life planning education (LPE) should commence early at junior secondary levels to help younger students better understand their aspirations, needs, interests and abilities; acquire basic knowledge of work ethics and the dynamics of the workplace; and nurture soft skills, morals, ethics, positive attitudes and adaptability, so that these students will have a broader view of future pathways and occupations. In response to the recommendations of the Task Force on Review of School Curriculum, the EDB has updated the Guide on Life Planning Education and Career Guidance for Secondary Schools.
