教育統籌委員會在一九九七年發表的第七號報告書，目的是提高學校教育的質素。本文從情緒商數（EQ）和健康自我形象兩個概念帶出情緒健康、自尊、自重和自信在人生的重要性。再透過學校教育和學校輔導目標的討論，作者肯定了發展性輔導才是學校輔導的正確方向和模式，亦從而引伸出全人發展，包括在體能、智力、社群、情緒、職業和事業各方面的整體發展信念。最後，作者重申應試教育的限制，說明了EQ與學校輔導的相通相同處。繼而在此基礎上，提供了六項具體建議，以期可以增強學校教育的效能，培育質素優良的學生。
Report No. 7 published by the Education Commission in 1997 aimed to raise the quality of education in Hong Kong schools. The present article attempts to bring out, through the two concepts of emotional quotient (EQ) and healthy self-concept, the importance of emotional health, self-esteem, self-respect and confidence. In addition, through a discussion of the aims and goals of school education and school counselling, the author affirms that school counselling should take developmental counselling as its direction and mode. Also, a holistic personal growth should include physical, intellectual, social, emotional, vocational and career development. Basing on this foundation, 6 suggestions have been put forward in the hope of raising school effectiveness as well as to educated students to ensure that they are of high quality.
