Abstract
In Hong Kong the majority of youth have not many opportunities to receive appropriate support about sexuality. To fill this gap a total of 15 units (five for each year) on sex education are included in the extension phase of Project P.A.T.H.S. Sex education is intended as a moment of personal growth in which pupils have the chance to reflect on gender differences, love, relationships, dating, diversity, and all areas related to sexuality (rather than just sexual intercourse or the biology of the body). This chapter illustrates the guiding principles for the construction of the conceptual framework, structure of the course, operationalization of the 11 PYD constructs in the sex education curriculum, and implementation of the protective factors in the teaching units. Concept maps of the curriculum for each school year are also presented.
