Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor recently issued a "policy address" to correct the "alienated" problem of liberal arts.
The Secretary for Education, Yeung Yun-hsiung, announced yesterday (26th) that although it has been decided to maintain the compulsory examinations for general education, the subjects will be renamed and the public examination grading arrangements will be changed to only pass or fail.
When asked whether the changes will affect the current teachers of general education, Yang Runxiong responded today and admitted that it will affect teachers and that changes must be made for the benefit of students, and the overall number of teachers will not change.
He also pointed out that the situation of individual teachers depends on the curriculum changes recommended by the Curriculum Development Council, and the authorities are willing to provide teachers with training transformation.

When Yang Runxiong attended the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Millennium" today, he said that the society has always had opinions and voices on the liberal arts subject, as well as doubts or irresponsibility. I believe teachers know it.
He understands that as a Liberal Studies teacher, he will have concerns, but he has to wait for the changes in the content recommended by the Curriculum Development Council before he knows the changes in teaching.
He emphasized that since the number of teachers in subsidized schools is based on the number of classes, the number of teachers will generally not change.
He also pointed out that due to the reduction in the number of liberal arts subjects, students have more time, or they can spend time with other learning experiences, extracurricular activities or other activities, and teachers can also "change fewer students."
He believes that if teachers have knowledge of certain subjects in the past, they may be able to return to the work of the previous subjects, and emphasized that "I don't talk about all teachers at all. If changes are made for the benefit of students, of course, in the industry There will definitely be a few people affected within."
Ye Jianyuan, a member of the Education Legislative Council, pointed out in the same program that since the current liberal arts subject is a "large subject", there are quite a few teachers who teach general subjects, and described the situation as "artificially creating turmoil."
He emphasized that if a teacher has strengths but is forced to transform, the overall teaching quality will be reduced. For example, if a general education teacher needs to transfer to history, but the history teacher has enough manpower, "Is it forced to change? "
Zhang Ruihui, a director of the Education Association who is a general education teacher, said on the commercial channel program "Starting on a Sunny Day" that when the Education Bureau proposed reforms, there was no complete plan. Currently universities still have general education teacher training courses and questioned whether the Education Bureau has any Discuss with the university.
He also believes that graduates of related courses will be "very difficult to find jobs." He bluntly said that existing schools have to digest their own teachers, and there is no room to hire new teachers.
