• TITLE: Facing Death: Should Death Education Be Taught to Chinese Youth as a Controversial Issue?

  AUTHORS: Ruiyi Cao

  KEYWORDS: Death Education, Controversial Issue, Safe Space, Non-Directive Teaching

  ABSTRACT: The COVID-19 epidemic has caused many adolescents to experience bereavement, which has brought attention to death education. Using three assessment criteria, namely behavioural, political and cognitive, this paper separately assesses whether death education is discussed as a controversial issue in the classroom in the Chinese context. The article presents the view that death education is not a controversial issue but a sensitive one. And it demonstrates possible ways of implementing death education in Chinese classrooms through an example.
