Calls to relax university language requirements / Seasonal flu vaccination drive
2024-09-23
On Monday’s Backchat, we’re talking about university admission requirements.
Local students who wish to gain a university spot need to attain at least Level 3 in both English and Chinese in order to be admitted, a requirement some school principals hope to see relaxed.
But not all educators agree with these proposals, as some worry that such a move could have an impact on Hong Kong’s English standards.
After 9:45, we’ll learn more about the upcoming seasonal flu vaccination drive
