Chinese-medium schools should give students more opportunities to speak English, the education chief said yesterday.
Secretary for Education Michael Suen Ming-yeung said while native English-speaking teachers had been employed, the results had not met his expectation. He said it was "worth giving a second thought" to the mother-tongue policy to give secondary students more exposure to the English language.
"Hong Kong is an international city and we have to produce graduates who can master both our mother tongue and English," Mr Suen told Commercial Radio.
"I think it's important in secondary schools to cultivate an atmosphere and culture for more English-speaking."
He also said private universities would be the way of the future when it came to higher education.
"We know some groups are interested in setting up private universities, while some [public] universities have the qualities for privatisation," he said. "The problem lies in the source of funding."
But Mr Suen said the government had nothing planned, saying it was "too early to talk about criteria" needed to become a private university. |
