Following is a question by Professor the Hon Priscilla Leung and a reply by the Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Mr Chris Sun, in the Legislative Council today (May 13):
Question:
(2) and (3) Through the triennial Planning Exercise, the eight University Grants Committee-funded universities will review and launch new programmes. In the 2025-28 triennium, in response to the government’s policy steer, as well as market demand and industry trends, the universities will introduce 30 new programmes to meet Hong Kong’s developmental needs. These programmes cover emerging sectors which have developed rapidly in recent years and are widely popular among young people, such as AI, cybersecurity, creative industries, sustainable development and data science. This can bolster Hong Kong’s development in innovation and technology as well as the “eight centres”, while creating opportunities for young people to develop their strengths.
