Quality training nurtures talents

*********************************

     In her 2017 Policy Address, the Chief Executive, Mrs Carrie Lam, said education is the key to nurturing talent and immediately set about boosting government expenditure on education.

     A slew of priority measures has been rolled out for the sector including a non-means-tested subsidy for self-financing undergraduate students, regularising the Study Subsidy Scheme for Designated Professions/Sectors and increasing its number of subsidised places to help alleviate the financial burden of young people interested in learning and training in specific professions.

     News.gov.hk spoke to some students who are beneficiaries of these subsidies to find out how the additional funding has helped support their professional ambitions.

     The story appears on news.gov.hk today (September 9) in text and video format.
