Transcript of remarks by SED at media session in Beijing (with photos)
***************************************************************

     Following is the transcript of remarks by the Secretary for Education, Mr Kevin Yeung, at a media session in Beijing today (September 19) during his duty visit:
 
Reporter: Secretary, did any officials you met during your trip express concern over the rise of independence (advocacy) in Hong Kong or the lack of national education?
 
Secretary for Education: They did not express any concern about these issues. I think these are education issues, which are within the Hong Kong (Special Administrative Region) Government's control and management. So I think they respect this and leave it to us.
