HK’s Education Chief: “Separation of Powers” only to be discussed in universities
Kevin Yeung Yun-hung, HK's Secretary for Education Bureau defended the Bureau’s decision to strike out concepts like “separation of powers” from new edition of liberal studies textbooks. Yeung said that separation of powers "has never existed in Hong Kong’s executive-led government".
Yeung’s view was backed up by the Chief Executive, Carrie Lam and other pro-China voices. His speech has,sparked fierce criticism and accusation of political censorship. Yeung, however, reiterated in a subsequent interview that it is "necessary to set the record straight in order to clear out confusion".
Yeung continued, "the curriculum of secondary school liberal studies should strictly follow the Basic Law, while with academic freedom granted in universities, such topic could only be discussed in tertiary institutions".
