Hong Kong schools to relocate to new development areas to combat shrinking student numbers, education minister says


Relocating schools situated in districts with shrinking student populations to new development areas is one of the remedies available for combating the effects of Hong Kong’s declining number of youngsters, the city’s new education minister has said.

Christine Choi Yuk-lin, who was promoted to head the Education Bureau after serving as its undersecretary over the past five years, also said it was acceptable for Hong Kong students to study a speech made by Chinese President Xi Jinping during his visit to the city on July 1, adding that teachers should also be familiar with it.
