Carrie Lam says will reveal plans to manage liberal studies

The Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said today that some people are feeding school children in the city "false and biased information" and it's important to protect students from being "poisoned," RTHK reports.
In an exclusive interview with the pro-Beijing Ta Kung Pao newspaper, Lam said she is concerned that some subjects, such as liberal studies, could be "penetrated.''
She said the government will announce later this year how it plans to manage the teaching of liberal studies.
While many credit the subject with helping young people to develop critical thinking skills, it's also come in for fierce criticism from those who say the lessons have radicalised students, with links being made to the ongoing social unrest in the city.
Lam said education must not be left unregulated and problems must be dealt with as they arise.
As well as the Education Bureau, the management and sponsoring bodies of schools must also serve as gate keepers, the CE said.
In the newspaper interview Lam also pans the district councils, which have been dominated by the pro-democracy camp since last November's elections.
She said since the polls, the councils have achieved nothing because all members do is criticise the government and the police.
Lam said she supports district officers and their staff in their walk-outs from council meetings, as they have been "maliciously attacked”.
