HK Chief Executive Urges Young People to Better Equip Themselves

Tung Chee Hwa, chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR), Tuesday encouraged young people to continue to pursue learning to better equip themselves in the face of challenges ahead.

Noting that the Hong Kong Certificate of Education results will be announced Wednesday, Tung urged both teachers and parents to express concern for the students and provide them with support and encouragement.

At a meeting with 13 secondary and primary school principals, Tung talked about education development and noted that young people today were facing much tougher competition than before.

"The government is committed to creating a favorable environment in which young people are provided with opportunities to realize their personal goals through hard work," he said.

The chief executive said that embracing the knowledge-based economy required introducing reforms to education.

"The percentage of whole-day primary school places will rise to more than 40 percent in the new academic year, and graduate posts in primary schools will increase to 35 percent from less than five percent in previous years," he said.
