Youth Portal launched
*********************

    A one-stop self access platform on the Internet, catering for the needs of young people aged between 15 and 24, has been launched.

      Youth.gov.hk provides young people with easy and convenient access to public information and services and many informative and interesting topics like career, education and leisure.

     To cope with the release of the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination (HKCEE) results today (August 8), Youth.gov.hk has prepared an all-round "Release of the HKCEE Results Special 2007", which integrates all the necessary information, including news, notices, Form 6 vacancy information on the Internet, further studying information and hotlines.

     In the "Tips for Life" column, a teacher, Mr Lui Yu Chun shares his experiences in overcoming setbacks in his life, including attaining zero points in the HKCEE.
