《藍圖》涵蓋六大範疇，包括運輸、生活、環境、政府、經濟及人才教育，實際上亦涉及政府不同部門的協作，所以會由特首主持的創新及科技督導委員會負責督導工作，而創新及科技局將會設立智慧城市辦公室，負責統籌各部門的工作。
Covering the six major areas of mobility living environment people government and economy the Blueprint indeed calls for the coordination of different government departments . That is why the project is steered by the Chief Executive - led Steering Committee on Innovation and Technology with a Smart City Office the Office to be set up in the Innovation and Technology Bureau responsible for coordinating the work of different departments
不過，即使有高層次的督導委員會負責監督，具體協調由創新及科技局屬下的辦公室負責，實在令人擔心它是否有能力駕馭及統籌大局。
Yet even under the watch of the Steering Committee at a high level it is worrying whether an office under the Innovation and Technology Bureau which is tasked with the actual coordination can command and coordinate the overall situation
事實上，根據經驗，雖然本港公務員體系廉潔且高效率，但龐大的隊伍難免有傳統門戶之見，甚至有官僚作風，如果局長或政府資訊科技總監與其他部門商討，恐怕要耗費大量時間說服不同部門合作，最終更可能徒勞無功。
As a matter of fact for all the probity and efficiency the civil service system of Hong Kong boasts it can hardly be immune to the conventional sectarian views or bureaucratic culture for that matter prevalent among organizations of such a size based on experience . If it is up to the Secretary or the Government Chief Information Officer to hold discussions with the other departments they may have to waste a lot of time persuading those departments to cooperate probably to no avail in the end
今次推動智慧城市的發展實在不容有失，如果由更高級的官員親自指揮，我相信成事的機會更高。
We can ill afford botching the promotion of smart city development this time around . I believe we stand a better chance of success with officials at a higher level personally calling the shots
主席，我也支持由張超雄議員提出的"兒童權利小組委員會的報告"議案。
President I support the motion on the Report of the Subcommittee on Childrens Rights the Report proposed by Dr Fernando CHEUNG
我是個有一名9歲小孩的爸爸，對於報告中關於"在考試及家課壓力下的兒童"的第IV部，我真的感同身受。
I am the father of a nine - year - old child . I really identify with Part IV of the Report in relation to Children amid examination and schoolwork stress
根據《兒童權利公約》第29條所述，"教育兒童的目的應是：最充分地發展兒童的個性、才智和身心能力。
According to Article 29 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child the education of the child shall be directed to the development of the childs personality talents and mental and physical abilities to their fullest potential
但是，我們沒料到上小學的小孩花在做功課和學習的時間比"打工仔"的工時還要長。
But unexpectedly the time spent by primary school children on doing homework and learning is even longer than the working hours of wage earners
根據2014年的一項調查，小學生每星期花在學習的時數高達66.5小時。
According to a survey conducted in 2014 primary students could spend up to 66.5 hours a week on learning
小學生的學習時間這麼長，包括在學校、補習社或各種補充學習各式各樣的東西，是否真的能夠令他們得到充分的多元發展，建立完整人格，他們又是否有自由時間玩耍和嬉戲呢？
Since primary students have to spend so many hours on learning in schools tuition centres and joining all sorts of supplementary learning activities can they really fully enjoy diverse development and develop a well - rounded personality? . Do they have free time to play?
遊戲也是兒童的權利之一，但這一代小孩子似乎沒有了天真的童年。
Playing is also one the rights of children . However children of this generation appear to have been deprived of an innocent childhood
我記得我們小時候上半日制小學，不少市民大眾當年認為半日制小學不及全日制，希望全日制小學能夠讓小朋友得到更全面照顧。
I recall we studied in bi - sessional primary schools when we were small . At that time quite many people considered whole - day schooling better than bi - sessional primary schools for they thought that whole - day primary schools could give their children more comprehensive care
成年人講求工作和生活平衡，所以，工聯會在勞工界多年來一直推動標準工時。
Grown - ups emphasize work - life balance . This is why the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions has been promoting standard working hours in the labour sector over the years
小孩是否也須設標準的學習時間呢？
Should standard learning hours be set for children as well?
關於標準學時的概念，政府應該進行政策研究，而在進行研究前，我希望政府能夠先進行科學性的整全調查，看看現時小學生每星期花在學 習的時間我說的是廣義學習，包括文科各方面的學習，例如學習法文、西班牙文、拼音或珠心算等。
Regarding the concept of standard learning hours the Government should conduct a policy study and before doing so I hope the Government can carry out a holistic scientific study to examine the time spent by primary students weekly―I am referring to learning in a general sense including the study of various arts subjects such as French Spanish phonetics abacus calculation and so on
教育局多番表示，學校家課應重質不重量，但最近卻在"基礎教育課程指引"中刪去家課量上限，即初小的抄寫量不可多於30分鐘，高小不可多於60分鐘的規定，其實這是倒退的做法。
Although the Education Bureau has repeatedly stated that school homework should emphasize quality rather than quantity the maximum daily homework load has recently been removed from the Basic Education Curriculum Guide . Actually this is retrogression
如果家課太多，家長應該有機制向教育局作出投訴。
If the homework load is excessive a mechanism should be put in place to enable parents to lodge complaints with the Education Bureau
SEN學童並非有智力問題，而是大多有過度活躍及專注力不足、讀寫障礙或亞氏保加症等先天缺陷，以致他們未能完全發揮學習能力。
Though these students have no intellectual problems most of them have congenital defects such as Hyperactivity Disorder and Attention Deficit Dyslexia or Aspergers Disorder . As a result they cannot fully exploit their academic ability
但是，在大多數情況下，他們能夠透過藥物和行為治療彌補這些缺陷，甚至發揮他們特有的專長。
Under most circumstances however they can rectify their defects through drug and behavioural therapies to exploit their unique strength
問題是現時的政策不論在識別、照顧或調適功課方面，仍然做得不大好。
The problem is that the existing policy has failed to do a good job in identification care and homework adjustment
我希望政府重視SEN學童的需要，我們同時亦要反思教育意義，怎樣做才可真正讓他們在適當配套下得到全人發展，開心地成長，令 他們在真正的起跑線即長大成人後能夠貢獻社會，而不是在學習和成長階段已經因累壞而變得不快樂，亦因此不能建立完整人格，日後引發更多問題。
Meanwhile we have to reflect on the purpose of education and measures to be taken to enable these children to pursue holistic development and grow up happily with appropriate support . In doing so they will be able to make contribution to society when they become adults that is the real starting line . Otherwise they will become very unhappy because of extreme fatigue during their learning and development stages
主席，多謝盧偉國議員提出這個加快推動智慧城市發展的議案。
President I thank Ir Dr LO Wai - kwok for proposing this motion on expediting the promotion of smart city development
我想帶出的第二點是政府部門本身也要作出配合。
The second point I wish to make is that government departments have to make complementary efforts too
我最近到科學園參觀了幾家公司，他們向我反映，每當有事想尋求政府部門協助，當局總是難以配合，因為各部門各有政策，既定政策難以改變。
In a recent visit to several companies in the Science Park I was told that whenever the companies attempted to seek assistance from the Government the relevant government departments invariably found it difficult to make complementary efforts because different departments had their own policies and the established policies could hardly change
第三，政府近年大力投資創科，希望利用更多資源推動創新科技成長，但各項資助均存在很多問題，政府近年相當推崇的創科生活基金正是一例。
Third in recent years the Government has made vigorous investments in IT in the hope of making use of more resources to promote the growth of IT . However various subventions are plagued with problems . The Innovation and Technology Fund for Better Living FBL is precisely a case in point
知識產權原本由該公司所擁有，卻因為申請創科生活基金，而拱手讓予相關申請機構。
Although the intellectual property right was originally vested with the company it must surrender the right to the applicant for the sake of the application for FBL
就是學院才會有創科，市場不會有創科，我認為這種概念很有問題。
The mindset I am referring to is that IT is confined to academic institutions but not the market . I find such a concept problematic
有些人沒有政府資助下發明出新產品，只為便利社會，政府為何將他們拒諸門外？
The only purpose of some people in inventing new products without government subvention is to bring convenience to society . Why does the Government turn them away?
所以，我希望政府能改變對創科的思維，令香港能真正有美好的創科和智慧城市發展。
Hence I hope the Government can change its mindset about IT to enable Hong Kong to really pursue IT and smart city development
主席，感謝張超雄議員今天提出議案。
President I thank Dr Fernando CHEUNG for moving this motion today
立法會兒童權利小組委員會在過去兩年先後與政府當局舉行了16次會議，安排關注團體和公眾人士就兒童權利和福祉的議題表達意見，進行深入的討論和探討，並在其報告書中提出多項具體建議。
The Subcommittee on Childrens Rights of the Legislative Council has convened 16 meetings with the Administration over the past two years arranging for child concern groups and members of the public to express their views on childrens rights and well - being and conduct in - depth discussions and exploration on the issue before setting out various concrete recommendations in its report
我們理解兒童權利小組委員會提出建議的目的，是希望政府關注兒童的福祉，並確保兒童的觀點及權益在制訂政策和投放資源時受到重視。
We understand that the Subcommittee on Childrens Rights has made these recommendations in the hope that the Government will take an interest in childrens well - being and ensure that their viewpoints rights and interests will figure prominently in policy formulation and resource allocation
我要強調，政府一直致力促進兒童的權益，切合兒童的需要；兒童成長及發展工作更是本屆政府的施政重點之一。
I must stress that the Government has been striving for the promotion of childrens interests and rights while catering to their needs with the work on childrens growth and development being one of the priorities of administration of the current - term Government
為此，特區政府已於本年6月正式成立兒童事務委員會，願景是確保香港是一個尊重及保障所有兒童權利、權益和福祉、聆聽兒童聲音，以及讓所有兒童得以健康快樂成長，全面發展並充分發揮潛能的地方。
In this connection the Special Administration Region SAR Government formally established the Commission on Children in June this year with a vision of ensuring that Hong Kong is a place where the rights interests and well - being of all children are respected and safeguarded and their voices are heard and where all children enjoy healthy and happy growth and optimal development so as to achieve their fullest potential
委員會匯聚相關政策局/部門，以及有關兒童成長及發展事宜的專家和持份者，聚焦處理兒童在成長中面對的問題。
Amalgamating the efforts made by the relevant bureauxdepartments as well as those of experts and stakeholders involved in matters concerning childrens growth and development the Commission focuses on addressing childrens issues as they grow
政務司司長作為委員會主席，已在6月28日召開首次會議，探討日後的工作優次，委員會將盡快展開工作。
Chaired by the Chief Secretary for Administration the Commission held its first meeting on 28 June examining its future priorities of work . The Commission will commence work as soon as practicable
事實上，特區政府一直非常重視兒童福祉。
As a matter of fact the SAR Government has all along attached great importance to childrens well - being
針對不同年齡及背景的兒童的發展需要，相關政策局及部門在保護兒童、幼兒服務、教育、醫療及福利等多方面都有清晰的政策協助兒童全面發展，亦預留所需資源提供相關服務。
Catering to the development needs of children of different ages and backgrounds the relevant Policy Bureaux and departments facilitate the holistic development of children under clearly - defined policies on aspects as varied as child protection child care services education health care and welfare and set aside resources necessary for the provision of such services
有效保護兒童和促進他們的健康成長和全面發展，有賴不同政策局和部門，以及多個專業界別的衷誠合作與互相配合。
Effective protection of children and promotion of their healthy growth and holistic development hinge on the sincere cooperation and collaboration among different Policy Bureaux and departments as well as various professional sectors
特區政府歡迎社會各界繼續就如何推動兒童的福祉提供意見。
The SAR Government welcomes the various sectors of the community to keep voicing their views on ways to promote childrens well - being
相關政策局及部門會因應實際情況，考慮有關建議的可行性。
The relevant Policy Bureaux and departments will consider the feasibility of their proposals in light of the actual circumstances
主席，我會仔細聆聽議員的發言，並會就大家提出的意見及建議作出綜合回應。
President I will listen carefully to Members remarks and give a consolidated response in respect of their views and recommendations
主席，我再次感謝兒童權利小組委員會這次動議辯論。
President I thank the Subcommittee on Childrens Rights once again for proposing this motion debate
剛才共13位議員提出建議及意見，我現作重點回應。
Just now a total of 13 Members put forth their recommendations and views . I now give a reply on the main points
首先，我在開場發言中已強調，特區政府一直非常重視兒童福祉，而兒童成長及發展工作更是本屆政府的施政重點之一。
First as I already emphasized in my keynote speech the SAR Government has attached huge importance to childrens welfare all along and childrens growth and development is even an important policy area in the present - term Governments administration
各政策局和部門一直保持緊密合作，在醫療、教育及福利等多方面有清晰的政策，以全面照顧兒童的身心發展需要為目標，靈活地運用現時的機制推動兒童權利在福利、醫療及教育等各方面得到尊重。
All along various Policy Bureaux and departments have maintained close cooperation and formulated clear policies in various areas such as health care education and welfare benefits with the objective of comprehensively meeting childrens physical and mental development needs while also promoting respect for childrens rights in welfare benefits health care education and so on with the flexible use of existing mechanisms
剛才有不少議員提及兒童事務委員會。
Just now many Members talked about the Commission on Children
我已提及，委員會剛在6月28日召開第一次會議，而在會議上，委員初步討論了委員會未來可考慮探討的議題，以及就政府促進本港兒童成長及發展的工作提出意見。
As I have said the Commission held its first meeting just on 28 June . At the meeting its members held initial discussion on the issues that might be considered by the Commission in the future while also putting forth views on the Governments efforts for fostering the growth and development of local children
委員會亦就幼兒照顧服務的長遠發展研究的建議方向及到校學前康復服務試驗計劃的恆常化及可予改善的範疇提供意見。
The Commission also offered views on the direction of the recommendations in the Consultancy Study on the Long - term Development of Child Care Services and also on the regularization and possible enhancement of the Pilot Scheme on On - site Pre - school Rehabilitation Services
委員會轄下的工作小組將因應委員會擬定的政策方向開展工作。
The Working Groups under the Commission will commence their work in the policy direction laid down by the Commission
當中的研究工作小組會展開與兒童問題相關的研究，以及在適當時協助檢討兒童政策和服務，而公眾參與、教育及宣傳工作小組則會推廣兒童權利和權益的重要性，以及管理各項資助計劃，以資助舉辦推廣活動或社區項目，並會利用不同渠道與兒童聯繫，讓政府及委員會聆聽兒童的聲音，了解他們的想法和考慮他們的建議。
The Working Group on Research will initiate research studies on children - related issues and help review children - related policies and services as appropriate . As for the Working Group on Public Engagement Education and Publicity it will promote the importance of childrens rights and interests manage funding schemes for organizing publicity or community projects and keep in touch with children through different channels and means to enable the Government and the Commission to listen to their voices understand their views and take into account their suggestions
委員會是一個常設、以行動為主導，並主動回應訴求的高層次組織，致力推動有利兒童的工作，並會發揮加強跨局、跨部門協作的協調功能。
The Commission will be an ongoing action - oriented responsive and high - level body that will drive the work for the benefits of children and perform the coordinating role to enhance cross - Bureau and cross - departmental collaboration
委員會會盡量聆聽兒童的意見，解決兒童的問題，以促進本港兒童的成長及發展。
The Commission will also strive to listen to childrens views and address childrens issues to promote childrens growth and development in Hong Kong
部分議員認為一開始便應成立一個法定的委員會。
Some Members think that a statutory commission should be set up right at the beginning
首先，成立一個法定的委員會將牽涉法例草擬和立法程序，所需時間可能以年計，時間較長。
First setting up a statutory commission will involve law drafting and a legislative process . This may require a long time as it can take years of time
所以，現時各部門已有不同機制或按法例處理有關兒童個案的調查、投訴或執法等工作。
Therefore various departments now handle investigations complaints or law enforcement concerning children - related cases under various mechanisms or the law
我們希望盡快回應社會的訴求。
We hope to respond to social demands as soon as possible
行政長官認為應爭取時間，盡快成立一個常設、高層次、非法定但有職能的委員會，就社會不同時候所關注與兒童相關的議題，透過制訂政策及落實協調和跟進措施，推動有利兒童的工作，盡早取得成果，讓兒童早日受惠。
The Chief Executive thinks that we must lose no time in setting up a regular high - level and non - statutory commission vested with the function and duty of formulating policies and implementing coordinating and follow - up measures on children - related issues of social concern at different times so as to take forward those tasks that are beneficial to children achieve fruitful outcomes as soon as possible and in turn benefit children much earlier
在委員會運作一段時間後，我們會考慮根據委員會的運作經驗及實際情況，檢視成立一個法定的委員會的可行性。
After the Commission has operated for some time we will consider the idea of reviewing the feasibility of setting up a statutory commission based on the Commissions operational experience and actual circumstances
《兒童權利公約》第4條規定："締約國應採取一切適當的立法、行政和其他措施以實現本公約所確認的權利。
Article 4 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child provides States Parties shall undertake all appropriate legislative administrative and other measures for the implementation of the rights recognized in the present Convention
"我剛才已提及，政府已於上月正式成立委員會，處理兒童政策的制訂和協調。
As I mentioned just now the Government formally set up the Commission last month to deal with the formulation and coordination of a childrens policy
與此同時，各政策局在制訂政策時，會繼續收集兒童的意見，加強與非政府組織及兒童的溝通，參考他們的意見。
At the same time in the course of policy formulation various Policy Bureaux will continue to gauge childrens views strengthen their communication with non - governmental organizations NGOs and children and draw reference from their views
舉例而言，政府在2005年成立了兒童權利論壇，進一步提供平台，為政府與非政府組織及兒童就兒童事務交換意見。
For instance the Government set up the Childrens Rights Forum the Forum in 2005 as a further platform for exchanges of views on childrens affairs between the Government NGOs and children
由2014年開始，特區政府亦加強論壇與家庭議會的協作，除向政策局反映論壇意見外，亦向家庭議會轉達兒童在論壇上對各項政策措施的意見，以協助家庭議會評估該等政策對家庭的影響。
Since 2014 the SAR Government has enhanced collaboration between the Forum and the Family Council . It has not only relayed the Forums views to Policy Bureaux but also forwarded to the Family Council the views expressed by children at the Forum on various policy measures so as to assist the Family Council in assessing policy impacts on families
我們在未來會繼續聆聽兒童的意見，改善論壇的運作，以進一步加強其功能。
In the future we will continue to pay heed to childrens views in a bid to improve the Forums operation and further enhance its functions
對於小組委員會曾討論的範疇，我會重點回應如下。
Regarding the areas discussed by the Subcommittee I will give a reply on the main points as follows
就虐待及保護兒童，幾乎所有議員皆有所提及，包括蔣麗芸議員、廖長江議員、張宇人議員、楊岳橋議員、黃碧雲議員、葉建源議員、葛珮帆議員等。
Almost all Members have talked about child abuse and protection including Dr CHIANG Lai - wan Mr Martin LIAO Mr Tommy CHEUNG Mr Alvin YEUNG Dr Helena WONG Mr IP Kin - yuen and Dr Elizabeth QUAT
多位議員均很重視保護兒童的重要性，而政府亦非常重視兒童的福祉，深信每名兒童均應受到保護，免受傷害或虐待。
Many Members have emphasized the importance of child protection and the Government likewise attaches a great deal of importance to childrens well - being and strongly believes that every child should be protected from harm or abuse
所以，我們在2018-2019年度增撥資源，增加社會福利署轄下保護家庭及兒童服務課的人手，以加強保護兒童及支援家庭方面的服務，包括外展服務、輔導及小組活動。
Therefore we have allocated additional resources in 2018 - 2019 for increasing the manpower of the Family and Child Protective Services Units under the Social Welfare Department SWD so as to enhance children protection and family support services including outreaching services counselling and group activities
為及早識別及援助有福利需要的學童及其家庭，政府會透過獎券基金撥款推出為期3年的先導計劃，分階段為全港700多間資助獨立幼兒中心、幼稚園及幼稚園暨幼兒中心合共約15萬名學童及其家庭提供社工服務。
In order to facilitate the early identification of those children and their families with welfare needs and provide assistance to them the Government will launch a three - year pilot project through funding allocation from the Lotteries Fund to provide social work services in phases for around 150 000 children and their families in the 700 or so aided standalone child care centres kindergartens and kindergarten - cum - child care centres in Hong Kong
此外，社署會加強停止家暴的學習計劃，支援目睹或面對家庭暴力的兒童和家暴受害者，以及幫助施虐者或有可能使用暴力的人士停止使用暴力，保護兒童免受傷害。
Besides SWD will enhance the Educational Programme on Stopping Domestic Violence to support children witnessing or exposed to domestic violence and victims of domestic violence and to help perpetrators and individuals with the possibility of using violence stop their violence with a view to protecting children from harm
我們相信，保護兒童實在需要匯聚多個專業的智慧和知識，衷誠合作。
We believe that it is honestly necessary to pool the wisdom and knowledge of various professions and strike up sincere cooperation in order to protect our children
與此同時，我們會努力盡快完成檢討整份處理虐待兒童個案程序指引，而社署及不同界別的人員及持份者亦會深入討論如何更有效處理高危個案，例如照顧者有濫藥問題的個案，以加強保護兒童的工作。
At the same time we will endeavour to complete the review of the whole Procedural Guide for Handling Child Abuse Cases as soon as possible . And SWD will hold thorough discussions with people and stakeholders in various disciplines on ways to handle high - risk cases more effectively such as cases involving carers with drug abuse problems so as to enhance our child protection efforts
另一方面，教育局已採取措施，確保缺課學生的安全。
Besides the Education Bureau has taken measures to ensure the safety of absentee students
在處理"未能接觸"的個案時，當局會指示學校人員採取更嚴謹的程序跟進缺課個案，由過往最少1次家訪，增加至最少3次家訪。
In dealing with cases involving students whom cannot be reached the authorities will instruct school personnel to take a more stringent step of increasing the frequency of home visit from at least once in the past to at least three times in following up non - attendance cases
如果經過多次家訪及向其他部門查詢後，仍未能聯絡學生或家長，當局亦會把個案轉介其他部門跟進。
If the authorities still fail to get into contact with the student or parents concerned after repeated home visits and enquiries with other departments they will refer the case to other departments for follow - up
在這方面，政府其實正進行一項研究。
In this regard the Government is actually conducting a study now
我們在2016年12月委託香港大學開展幼兒照顧服務研究。
In December 2016 we commissioned the University of Hong Kong to commence a study on child care services
我們會在本月9日向立法會福利事務委員會簡介幼兒照顧服務研究的進展，並就建議徵詢委員的意見。
On 9 July we will brief the Legislative Council Panel on Welfare Services on the progress of the study on child care services and consult members on the recommendations
幼兒照顧服務研究預計可在今年內完成，待完成後，我們會參考建議為幼兒照顧服務制訂長遠發展路向，並適時作出公布。
The study on child care services is expected to complete within this year . Upon completion we will determine the way forward for the long - term development of child care services based on the recommendations and announce it at a suitable juncture
就加強幼兒照顧服務方面，我們將在2018-2019年度起分階段在北區、觀塘區、葵青區和沙田區額外增加合共約300個資助獨立幼兒中心名額。
On strengthening child care services we will increase the number of places in aided standalone child care centres in the North District Kwun Tong District Kwai Tsing District and Sha Tin District by a total of around 300 from 2018 - 2019 in phases
就考試及家課的壓力，剛才亦有多位議員提到，包括陸頌雄議員及葉建源議員。
Earlier on many Members also mentioned examination and schoolwork stress including Mr LUK Chung - hung and Mr IP Kin - yuen
兒童面對考試及家課壓力，而其實每名學生的成長和學習需要皆不盡相同。
While children face examination and schoolwork stress every student actually has their distinctive development and learning needs
教育局一直強調評估應以學生為本，並明確指出學校須以學生學習的最大效益為考慮，靈活彈性地制訂校本評估策略，照顧學生的學習多元性，為學生創造空間，以達致身心均衡發展的教育目標。
The Education Bureau has all along emphasized that assessment should be student - centred and explicitly stipulated that schools should formulate their school - based assessment strategies flexibly and in the best interest of students to cater for learner diversity and create space for students to achieve the learning goal of having a balanced development in both physical and psychological aspects
此外，教育局每年均透過不同渠道，為校長、課程領導及教師舉辦與家課有關的專業發展課程，例如強調學校在訂定家課種類和數量時，須考慮家課質與量的平衡，亦須適時進行檢視，並就家課安排與家長溝通，因應學生的能力、興趣和需要，優化校本家課政策。
Besides the Education Bureau will organize schoolwork - related professional development programmes every year for school principals curriculum leaders and teachers through various channels such as stressing the need for schools to consider the balance between schoolwork quantity and quality in determining the types and quantity of schoolwork to conduct timely review to communicate with parents on schoolwork arrangements and to improve its school - based homework policy based on students abilities interests and needs
就支援特殊教育需要，部分議員非常關心。
Some Members are very concerned about SEN support
為協助公營普通學校照顧有特殊教育需要的學生，教育局除轄下發放一些常規的資助外，其實亦一直為學校提供額外資源、專業支援及教師培訓。
As a means of assisting public sector ordinary schools in taking care of SEN students the Education Bureau has actually provided such schools with additional resources professional support and teacher training all along in addition to the disbursement of regular subsidies
教育局會繼續加強這方面的工作。
The Education Bureau will continue to enhance its work in this respect
不少議員關注對基層家庭兒童的支援。
Many Members are concerned about the support for children from grass - roots families
特區政府一直透過各項福利措施，為有兒童的基層家庭提供適切的經濟援助和支援服務。
All along the SAR Government has provided appropriate financial assistance and support services for grass - roots families with children through various welfare measures
