The Chairman also took this opportunity to thank Ms NG Suk-min, Senior Liaison Officer 3 who had been transferred out for her contribution to this District Council (“DC”) during her tenure. Item 1: Confirmation of minutes of the 17th meeting held on 4 September 2018 2. The minutes of the 17th meeting were confirmed without amendment. Item 2: Permanent Secretary for Education meets with Members of Sham Shui Po District Council 3. The Chairman, on behalf of SSPDC, extended welcome to Mrs Ingrid YEUNG, JP, Permanent Secretary for Education, and the representatives of the Education Bureau (“EDB”) accompanying her to the meeting. 4. Mrs Ingrid YEUNG said that (i) she was happy to visit SSPDC and meet with Members. She hoped that Members could express their views on education issues; (ii) the Current-term Government valued quality education and was willing to invest in the hope that education quality in Hong Kong could be enhanced. 5. Ms Amanda KAN, with the aid of PowerPoint, introduced the latest situation of Hong Kong’s education, including resources allocated to education by the Government, types of schools in Sham Shui Po District (“SSP District”), kindergarten (“KG”) education, primary and secondary education, major improvement measures in primary and secondary education, post-secondary education, vocational and professional education and training (“VPET”), as well as the way forward in education. 6. Mr Vincent CHENG raised the following views and enquiries: (i) he asked whether EDB would renovate or rebuild old school premises as both supporting facilities - 4 - Action by and space of old school premises were inadequate; (ii) the “Opening up School Facilities for Promotion of Sports Development Scheme” (“Opening up School Facilities Scheme”) encouraged schools to open up their facilities to sports organisations for holding sports activities. However, there was no pairing for any schools in the district. He enquired about the number of applications submitted by schools in the district and hoped that the Bureau could assist in pairing; (iii) parents reflected that the subsidies to poor students were inadequate under the $2.5 billion Student Activities Support Fund (“SAS Fund”). He enquired whether the Bureau would raise improvement proposal so that more students would benefit from it. 7. Mr WAI Woon-nam raised the following views and enquiries: (i) school premises in the district, such as SKH Kei Oi Primary School (“KOPS”), were relatively old. He suggested renovating old or vacant school premises (“VSP”) for use by the aforesaid school. He also hoped that the Bureau could follow up on inadequate supporting facilities in school premises in the district; (ii) many KGs in the district had to borrow community halls for holding graduation ceremonies. However, it was not easy to make a booking. He hoped that the Bureau could assist in this regard. 8. Mr Dominic LEE said that residents of Yau Yat Chuen hoped that school net 41 could cover Yau Yat Chuen. He pointed out that: (i) Yau Yat Chuen was located closer to schools in school net 41. Based on the principle of vicinity in allocating school places, Yau Yat Chuen should be covered by school net 41; (ii) Yau Yat Chuen was located at the junction of SSP District and Kowloon Tong District. Residents were confused by different delineation of boundaries by different Government departments and organisations; (iii) population in SSP District would increase substantially. If Yau Yat Chuen was covered by school net 41, it would alleviate the shortage of school places in the district effectively. 9. Ms Carman NG raised the following views and enquiries: (i) school social workers were relatively important to school children receiving pre-school education. She enquired whether EDB would consider providing social workers in KGs; (ii) she enquired whether free education would be extended to include pre-primary education; (iii) working families without hiring domestic helpers had a strong demand for day crèches and day nurseries. She hoped that the Bureau could keep an eye on the supply of such schools; (iv) public housing estates like So Uk Estate and Pak Tin Estate would soon be ready for intake. She hoped that the Bureau could make proper arrangement in advance to avoid toddlers to attend schools in other districts. 10. Mrs Ingrid YEUNG gave a consolidated response as follows: (i) The Bureau was committed to enhancing the facilities of school premises - 5 - Action by and had implemented large-scale School Improvement Programme, benefitting many schools. Following the completion of the Programme, the Bureau had also allocated resources to schools for emergency or routine repair, etc. Constrained by their sizes, some school premises were more suitable for reprovisioning. Since the supply of temporary school premises was limited, the reconstruction of school premises had to be conducted gradually. The Bureau would build new school or reprovision old school premises according to the demand in the district. (ii) Quality Education Fund (“QEF”) Steering Committee, in response to the recommendation of the Government, had set aside $3 billion for the setting up of the Dedicated Funding Programme for Publicly-funded Schools. All publicly-funded primary and secondary schools (including special schools), schools under the Direct Subsidy Scheme, and the KGs under the KG Education Scheme (“KG Scheme”) could apply for the fund through simplified procedures to launch school-based curriculum and student support measures, as well as relevant school improvement works and procurement of supplies. A total indicative value was set by QEF for each school for reference purposes only. The indicative value of projects from the KG sector was $500,000 and that of projects from the primary and secondary schools sectors (including special schools) was $2 million.

  • Hong Kong's National Security
    FEBRUARY 2021 HONG KONG’S NATIONAL SECURITY LAW: A Human Rights and Rule of Law Analysis by Lydia Wong and Thomas E. Kellogg THE NATIONAL SECURITY LAW constitutes one of the greatest threats to human rights and the rule of law in Hong Kong since the 1997 handover. This report was researched and written by Lydia Wong (alias, [email protected]), research fellow, Georgetown Center for Asian Law; and Thomas E. Kellogg ([email protected]), executive director, Georgetown Center for Asian Law, and adjunct professor of law, Georgetown University Law Center. (Ms. Wong, a scholar from the PRC, decided to use an alias due to political security concerns.) The authors would like to thank three anonymous reviewers for their comments on the draft report. We also thank Prof. James V. Feinerman for both his substantive inputs on the report, and for his longstanding leadership and guidance of the Center for Asian Law.

  • Street Occupations, Neglected Democracy, and Contested Neoliberalism in Hong Kong
    Street Occupations in Hong Kong 101 Street Occupations, Neglected Democracy, and Contested Neoliberalism in Hong Kong Miguel A. Martínez* he Umbrella Movement (UM) is the conventional label applied to the street occupations that took place in Hong Kong (HK) between September 28 and December 15, 2014. Many participants Talso called it the Umbrella Revolution (Veg 2016, 680). UM activists strove for HK citizens’ right to universal suffrage applicable to the election of the chief executive and the whole legislature. The HK miniconstitution, or Ba- sic Law, in force since the return of the former British colony to People’s Republic of China (PRC) sovereignty in 1997, expressed the same goal as an “ultimate aim” to be implemented “in accordance with the principle of gradual and orderly progress” (J. Ng 2016, 56).1 However, despite the continu- ous pressure exerted by the pan-democratic camp, the HK government has postponed the regulation and implementation of universal suffrage to date. With these promises and pressures in sight, a process of electoral reform was launched by the HK Special Administrative Region (SAR) govern- ment in 2013. To the disappointment of the pan-democrats’ aspirations, the electoral reform was substantially constrained by two documents issued by the Chinese central government in June and August 2014. In a white paper issued in June, the central authorities asserted their absolute power to interpret the Basic Law. In August, the same authorities delivered their interpretation of the electoral reform and set up a nomination committee following the model of the already existing Election Committee.2 The only novelty introduced consisted of the public voting on the two to three candidates standing for the chief executive role previously nominated.
