There being no objections from Members, the Chairman approved the leave applications in accordance with Order 51(1) of the Sai Kung District Council Standing Orders. I. Permanent Secretary for Education meeting with the Sai Kung District Council 4. The Chairman welcomed: Mrs. Marion LAI, JP, Permanent Secretary for Education, Education Bureau (EDB) Ms. CHAN Fung-ying, Chief School Development Officer (Sai Kung), EDB 5. Mrs. Marion LAI, Permanent Secretary for Education, EDB gave an introduction on the work of the EDB based on the Powerpoint presentation. 6. Mr. Peter LAU was concerned about the policy launched by the EDB earlier which targeted at helping the ethnic minority students to learn Chinese as their second language. He suggested that the EDB should listen to the views of teachers, parents and principals so as to review and improve the policy. He said that the Special Education Resource Centre of the EDB should enhance their cooperation with kindergartens, primary and secondary schools to help them implement integrated education without affecting the normal progress of teaching, so as to meet the demand from the students with special educational needs and to provide them with the appropriate psychological and health support. Some of the students with special educational needs had to leave mainstream schools and go back to special schools due to various reasons. Improvement should be made regarding this mechanism. He also hoped that the Government could allocate more resources to assist special schools. Besides, he suggested that vocational training should match with the shortage in labour so that different human resources could be provided for different types of jobs. 7. Mr. LAI Ming-chak welcomed the enhancement in kindergarten education. He hoped that the EDB could provide more assistance to the schools which are required to be relocated by order. While the EDB hoped that students could have an enjoyable learning environment which could replace memorization and dictation, the Territory-wide System Assessment (TSA) for Primary Three students was one of the reasons for students to memorize and dictate - 3 - the contents of textbooks. Some parents of primary two students told him that their children had already started working on the mock examination questions of the TSA at this stage. Although the EDB had changed the name of the assessment from TSA to Basic Competency Assessment (BCA), hoping that the problem of drilling could be avoided, some schools still adopt this approach in training up students. He considered that the ultimate goal was to abolish drilling completely. At this stage, reference should be made to the practice of last year and let parents decide by themselves whether their children should participate in the BCA or not. Besides, the Neo Democrats hoped that the history of Hong Kong could be included in the curriculum of Chinese History and cover topics like the uniqueness of Hong Kong and the differences in the development history of Hong Kong and Mainland China. Lastly, he hoped that the EDB could allocate more resources to the University Grants Committee (UGC) to provide more funded places in the first year of university education, which was the most direct way of letting more students have the chance to receive tertiary education. 8. Mr. LUI Man-kwong was concerned about the issues related to the TSA. He hoped that the EDB could let parents decide whether their children should participate in the TSA, or abolish the TSA completely, or follow the practice of last year to conduct it by drawing lot. This was because the results of the TSA would only be used to decide on the direction of education policy and there was no need to involve all the students of Hong Kong. Besides, he suggested that the EDB should set up an inter-departmental working group to comprehensively review the mental health of students. After the New Year, at least eight suicide cases had occurred. While the education system might not be the only cause of these cases, the existing education system had imposed immense pressure on students.

The convergence of neoliberalism, institutionalization of pan-Chinese documentary films and the historical marginalization of women’s filmmaking in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the People’s Republic of China (PRC), respectively, have further perpetuated the marginalization of documentary films by local female filmmakers.

  • CLP Power Extends Electric Vehicle Charging Network As Popularity of Green Motoring Accelerates
    中華電力有限公司 24 November 2016 CLP Power Hong Kong Limited CLP Power Extends Electric Vehicle Charging Network as Popularity of Green Motoring Accelerates CLP Power Hong Kong Limited (CLP Power) today (24 November) announced it will extend free charging for Electric Vehicles (EVs) at its network of 45 charging stations until the end of 2017. This is an effort to support the Government’s mission to make Hong Kong a greener, smarter city. CLP Power has extended its network of multi-standard quick charging stations, making them available in districts across the city to improve coverage and convenience for EV users. Quick charging stations are now available at driving intervals averaging 10 km throughout Kowloon and the New Territories, which is a notable milestone in our journey to encourage green motoring. Over the next two years, EV drivers will be better served as CLP Power adds 13 more multi- standard quick chargers to its network of stations. The new chargers are suitable for most EVs in Hong Kong and support multi-standard quick charging including the Japanese quick charging standard (CHAdeMO) and the two European quick charging standards (CCS and IEC Type 2 AC 3 Phase). Depending on the vehicle type, the chargers enable compatible EVs to be charged up to 80% battery capacity within 30 minutes, providing enough power for a journey of approximately 100 km. To cater to the expanding EV market, the Government has also approved CLP Power to upgrade all its existing standard chargers to the semi-quick standard which facilitates improved, faster charging. CLP Power has pioneered the introduction of charging stations across its power supply network since 2009.

  • Language and Identity: Sky Lee's Disappearing Moon
    LANGUAGE AND IDENTITY: SKY LEE’S DISAPPEARING MOON CAFE AND WAYSON CHOY’S THE JADE PEONY MONIQUE CLARICE ATTRUX A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN ENGLISH YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO SEPTEMBER 2019 © MONIQUE ATTRUX, 2019 Abstract Many critics recognize Sky Lee’s Disappearing Moon Cafe and Wayson Choy’s The Jade Peony for breaking the silence over issues that Chinese Canadians faced in the 1990s such as racism and lack of representation. However, there has not been much discussion on Lee and Choy's exploration of language and identity. These issues are important as they continue to impact Chinese-Canadians and other diasporic communities today. The thesis explores how language in the two novels reveals that Chinese Canadians have complex and mutable identities and how notions of identity challenge the control the hegemonic powers seek to construct and restrict the Chinese identity, which in turn also restricts ideas of language. I attempt to demonstrate how these two novels resist a generic, one-dimensional view of Chinese Canadian identity and language. I conclude that Lee and Choy's novels imply that both Canadian and Chinese hegemonies influence Chinese Canadians' language and identity. ii Dedication I dedicate this thesis to my 婆婆 Poh-Poh. iii Acknowledgements This project would not have been possible were it not for my thesis supervisor, Professor Arun Mukherjee. Many of my insights captured in this thesis came to me as I sat in her class Simulating Translation during the first semester of my Master’s program.
