  • 'Paving the Way for Your Children's Future'
    Paving The Way For Your Children’s Future 1 Foreword Plan ahead for a bright future Plan ahead to cultivate your children's future Every parent wants their children to make something of themselves and often strives to provide them with the best education possible. From the day the child is born, through kindergarten, primary school, secondary school and university; there are several key milestones in a child’s life for shaping their future. To achieve such milestones, it is imperative that good financial planning for education is well in place. At HSBC Life, we understand your wish to provide the best education for your children. In this booklet, we aim to provide you with practical tips to plan for education and further studies. We will guide you through the development of primary and secondary education in Hong Kong, highlighting education evolvement from STEM to STREAM and interest classes that help enhance their capabilities. In response to a growing trend of sending children to study abroad, we have covered overseas boarding school information. We have also included an example to illustrate how parents may plan financially for their children’s education. We hope this booklet will help map out a better blueprint for your children’s education and future development. Paving The Way For Your Children’s Future 2019 2 Contents Foreword Plan ahead for your children's bright future 1 Chapter 1 Trends in local education 3 - 4 Chapter 2 Gain a competitive edge with interest classes 5 - 6 Chapter 3 Get set, go for your children’s education path

  • RDFC Paper No. 4/2020 Annex 4
    Annex IV (Translation) 16 March 2020 Mr TSUI Yuen-wa Chairman of Recreation and District Facilities Committee (RDFC) Southern District Council (SDC) 3 Aberdeen Praya Road Southern District, Hong Kong Dear Mr TSUI, Proposed Agenda for the 2nd Meeting on 31 March 2020 Discussion on Annex 3 to RDFC Paper No. 1/2020 In Annex 3 to RDFC Paper No. 1/2020, a paper for discussion at the 1st special meeting of RDFC under SDC, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) mentions that it “will consider a range of factors when drawing up the annual plans for recreation and sports programmes”. The Annex mentions factors including “the development trend of individual sports” and “the overall development of the ‘Sport for All’ policy”, but without further elaboration. I thus have the following questions: 1) Will LCSD explain what factors are included in “the development trend of individual sports”? 2) Will LCSD explain “the overall development of the ‘Sport for All’ policy” adopted currently? Moreover, I have all along been concerned about local sports development and have endeavoured to promote sports culture industry in Hong Kong. I thus hope that LCSD will allocate more resources to enhance the standards of various types of sports in Hong Kong. In this regard, I would like to make the following enquiries and suggestions: 1) Among the recreation and sports programmes in the Southern District in 2020/21 listed in Appendix I of Annex 3 to RDFC Paper No. 1/2020, there are only - 2 - one or two training courses throughout the year for some items.

  • The Britain and the World Conference 2016
    Welcome to the Britain and the World Conference 2016 Having done our bit for Britain and the world for nine years now, we're honoured that HM Government chose simultaneously to highlight Britain's place in that world, and to increase public awareness and probably voter turnout, by scheduling the long-awaited EU Referendum on the middle day of our annual conference. On Friday we'll know whether Britain has chosen, depending on one's own disposition, to be isolated or to have re-joined the world. It feels apt, if uncommon, for a history conference to coincide, in place and time, with a historic event. As if that were not enough excitement to getting along with, this year Britain and the World takes place for the first time in London, and predictably our biggest conference ever. We hope it doesn't feel too big, and that its distinctively friendly and sociable nature is maintained. As far as the programme is concerned I'm afraid there's no other word for it than 'packed': there are sixty four panels, and nearly 200 speakers. The first panels begin at 8.30 am and the daily plenaries end at 6.30 pm, to be followed by our usual entertainments. We've tried as much as possible to avoid scheduling panels of similar appeal at the same time, but we hope you appreciate how complicated this conference has been to plan. You may wish to drop into panels for particular papers, which is another reason for our asking speakers to observe, and chairs to enforce, the twenty minute rule.

Based on 31 interviews conducted mostly with former child labourers and archival research, this thesis examines the many facets of child work from former child labourers’ perspectives. This study aims to broaden our understanding of the post-war economic miracle, child work experiences, and why children worked and contributed to the household economy.
