The Office for Film, Newspaper and Article Administration (OFNAA) has been actively collaborating with various policy bureaux, departments and organisations to take forward publicity and public education (PPE) work on the Control of Obscene and Indecent Articles Ordinance (Cap. 390) (COIAO), with a view to helping children and young people stay away from the obscene and indecent content online. On 19 September 2025, OFNAA participated in the Primary Principals Liaison Meeting organised by the Education Bureau (EDB), where it briefed principals from multiple attending schools on the key features of COIAO, the supports provided by OFNAA to schools, and related PPE activities.

At the meeting, the Assistant Director of Film, Newspaper and Article Administration, Mr Chris Fung, stated that while the cyberworld facilitates learning for children and young people, it also harbors traps such as violent games, pornographic websites and even indecent information disguised as interesting content, etc.

To protect children and young people from these influences, OFNAA has been adopting a multi-pronged strategy combining regulation, PPE to encourage them to stay away from obscene and indecent content online. This includes collaboration with EDB to distribute learning and teaching resources related to COIAO to schools, to assist teaching staff in enhancing educational efforts within schools. OFNAA also organised over 250 school talks and three online seminars in 2024, introducing COIAO to principals or their representatives from about 100 primary and secondary schools. This year, OFNAA also participated in the Teacher Professional Development Programme seminar, introducing COIAO and related activities and resources to over 200 primary school teachers. Furthermore, the new round of roving drama for schools on the theme of "Healthy Information for a Healthy Mind" is also well-received by schools, with all 100 performances for this academic year fully booked and scheduled to take place successively.

Mr Chris Fung emphasized that schools play an important role in educating children and young people to reject harmful information. He encouraged schools and teachers to actively support OFNAA's publicity activities and to flexibly utilise the learning and teaching resources related to COIAO both inside and outside the classroom. This not only helps students avoid being harmed by online harmful information but also assists them in establing correct values and the concept of proper Internet usage.
