Carrie Lam Says Liberal Studies ‘Deviate’ and Orders Reform Chief Executive Carrie Lam said in the Policy Address that Liberal Studies has deviated from the subject’s objectives. Secretary for Education Kevin Yeung announced reform of Liberal Studies afterwards, which includes renaming, simplifying grading system to pass or fail, halving the curriculum and teaching hours, as well as eliminating Independent Enquiry Study (IES) amongst others. Hong Kong Professional Teachers’ Union (PTU) Vice-President Ip Kin-Yuen said Lam’s accusations are unfounded and questioned the reform did not consider the suggestions provided by the Task Force on Review of School Curriculum (Task Force). Effectively, the reform was to ‘kill the subject’. PTU President Fung Wai-Wah strongly condemned the reform and demanded the proposal to be withdrawn. |
