當申請人要每月工作24天、每天8小時，才可獲得高額津貼，那他們如何處理每天8小時的託兒問題呢？
When the applicant has to work eight hours in 24 days every month to receive a higher allowance how can they make child care arrangements every day during their eight hours of work?
其次，我聽到有聲音指表格很難填寫，政府是強人所難。
Secondly I heard comments about the forms being difficult to fill in and the Government making life difficult for them
雖然這份表格已經簡化，頁數亦已減少，但大家也知道，這些申請人多屬低下階層，執筆填表，對他們來說是一種心理障礙，他們很多時候也會到議員辦事處求助。
Though the forms have been simplified and the number of pages has been reduced it may be a psychological barrier to them in picking up the pen to fill in the forms as we know these applicants are mostly grass roots . More often than not they will come to Members offices to seek assistance
加上表格要求提供的資料既仔細又複雜，申請人單看表格已感害怕，難怪這個計劃的申請人數一直低於預期。
Moreover the information required in the form is detailed and complicated where applicants may be scared away at a glance of the form . No wonder the number of applications for the Scheme has all along been lower than expected
第三，便是計劃要求提供很多文件證明。
Thirdly a lot of supporting documents are requited under the Scheme
很多申請人怕令老闆感到麻煩，怕得罪"米飯班主"，所以不願意申報。
Many applicants fear that it may cause troubles to their employers and they dare not offend their bosses so they are reluctant to make applications
以我曾經接觸的個案為例，他們經常要來往內地工作，而內地僱主一般不願為他們填寫工作收入證明。
According to the cases I have come across some of them have to work in the Mainland frequently and Mainland employers in general are unwilling to provide income certificates for them
平心而論，低津計劃，不論是原有計劃，或是最近的改善措施，也是一項惠民政策，方向非常好。
To give the matter its fair deal LIFA be it the original plan or the latest improved version is a policy benefiting the public and it is in an extremely good direction
不過，我們認為政府改來改去仍無法走出那條我們稱之為官僚的老路，所以要解決這個問題，必須從"新風"開始。
However we consider that the Government has failed to leave the old bureaucratic path despite the changes made here and there . Hence to address the problem the authorities must start with a new style
低津計劃由開始填表至遞交申請的過程，申請人必須提交所有證明文件，並確認他們提交的資料沒有虛報，沒有騙取政府金錢，並提交證據作依據。
In the course of making applications for LIFA from filling in the forms to submitting the applications applicants are required to submit all the supporting documents . They have to acknowledge that all the information they provide is true and they are not trying to cheat the Government they are thus required to produce evidence as proof
至於辦事處接收申請表格的職員，他們只須審視申請表有否遺漏資料、有否填寫錯誤，在核實無誤後，便可進入行政程序。
As for staff members responsible for receiving the application forms in the office they will only check if anything is missing in the forms and if the forms are filled correctly . After the form is verified to be in order the application will proceed to the administrative procedures
這聽來沒有甚麼問題，但其實這做法是政府為節省行政費用的手法，旨在節省覆查或核實的資源。
The procedure does not sound problematic . Yet the Government has adopted this tactic to reduce the resources required for checking and verifying the source of content thereby saving its administrative cost
坦白說，這是政府為求方便自己，卻為難市民的做法，這思維實在"離地"。
Honestly this practice is adopted for the convenience of the Government but at the expense of the public . This mentality is really impractical
我們認為，既然政府推行津貼計劃，對象是一群基層和低收入市民，政府便應放下官僚作風，為他們設計一套簡單易明的申請程序，提供"貼地"模式的服務，而非動輒擺出官威，強市民所難，硬要跟從官方固有那套硬蹦蹦的做法。
In our opinion since the Government has introduced LIFA which is targeted at the grass roots and low - income groups it should give up its bureaucratic practices and design a set of simple procedures easy to understand . It should offer a down - to - earth style of services rather than displaying the superiority of government officials by requiring the public to follow the inflexible approach of the Government putting the public in a difficult position
就這方面，我認為政府應參考現時綜援的做法，為申請人即時解難紓困，讓申請人可以先交申請表，短時間內可完成批核，既可解決他們燃眉之急，同時政府部門可採取核實或抽查的措施。
In this connection I think the Government should draw reference from the current approach adopted for CSSA to provide immediate relief to applicants . The Government may allow applicants to submit application forms first where the examination of the applications will be completed within a short time . This will address the imminent needs of applicants on the one hand and allow government departments to take measures to verify or make random inspections of the applications on the other
這種模式不單可令申領人無須大費周章，亦可獲得政府及時的幫助，這才是急市民所急、為市民服務的政府。
This approach will enable applicants to receive timely assistance from the Government without going through all the cumbersome red tape . If the Government appreciates the urgent needs of the public and hopes to serve them it should do so
至於社會經常擔心有不法市民會濫用計劃或欺騙公帑的問題，這正正是政府重要的工作。
As for the worry of the community about possible abuse of the scheme or the deception of public money by unruly elements this is exactly a significant task the Government should undertake
政府應認真檢視申請個案，定期嚴密抽查，並加強向市民宣傳違法可致入獄的信息，不容市民欺詐公帑，這才是真正急民所急的措施。
The Government should examine the applications seriously conduct regular and stringent inspections and reinforce the public dissemination of the message that violations may result in imprisonment . It should not tolerate any deception of public money . This is rightly the measure addressing the urgent needs of the public
代理主席，最後，我想談談政府最近準備將長者社區照顧服務券擴展至僱用外傭，我知道局長正研究這方面的安排。
Deputy President lastly I would like to talk about the expansion of the coverage of the Community Care Service Voucher scheme to the employment of foreign domestic helpers . I know the Secretary is studying the arrangement in this aspect
然而，大家也要明白，如果這些外傭是照顧長者的話，政府必須在數方面充分監督，因為我們不時也聽到有外傭虐老的個案。
Yet we understand that if these foreign domestic helpers are to take care of the elderly the Government must effect proper monitoring in several aspects for we have learnt about elderly people being abused by foreign domestic helpers from time to time
第二，由於這些家傭從外地聘請，所以他們未必認識或知道應如何照顧長者的特殊需要，政府有否準備設立考核機構呢？
Secondly since these domestic helpers come from overseas they may not necessarily know how to cater to the special needs of the elderly . Does the Government plan to set up an assessment body?
民建聯亦曾就這項措施進行研究，我們初步認為這值得政府大力推動。
DAB has studied this measure before and we initially consider it worthy of vigorous promotion by the Government
最後，領取綜援的長者是否也可聘請外傭來照顧他們，我們認為政府應審慎考慮這點。
Finally as for the question of whether or not elderly recipients of CSSA may employ foreign domestic helpers to take care of them we think the Government should consider this cautiously
因為綜援屬於最基層的福利，如果這些長者也可聘請外傭的話，便可能會製造另一輪的爭拗。
Since CSSA is the lowest tier of social security if elderly recipients are allowed to employ foreign domestic helpers it may spark off another round of controversy
因此，我認為政府在研究的過程中要小心處理，以長者的福祉作為重要目標。
Hence I think the Government must handle the issue with care when it studies the arrangement setting the well - being of the elderly as the primary target
主席，香港正逐漸步向高齡社會，我們除了要關顧長者的生活需要，令他們能夠安享晚年外，讓他們活得開心、活得有尊嚴亦同樣重要。
President Hong Kong is gradually growing into an aged society . Apart from looking after the daily needs of the elderly so that they can enjoy their twilight years in a secure manner it is equally important to let them live a happy life with dignity
日前，勞工及福利局局長表示正探討安老院舍向高空發展的可行性，從增加長者宿位的角度考慮。
The other day the Secretary for Labour and Welfare said that the Government was exploring the feasibility of high - rise development of residential care homes for the elderly RCHEs with a view to increasing the number of residential care places for the elderly
我相信這個方向是值得探討的，但我認為在增加宿位的同時，如何提升現有的院舍服務，增加資源和人手，為長者提供更多適切的服務，照顧他們的身心需要，才是特區政府在安老方面的應有態度和施政方針。
I believe this direction is worthy of exploration but I think that while we seek to increase the number of RCHE places we should also consider how to enhance the existing institutional care services increase resources and manpower and provide more appropriate services to the elderly to cater for their physical and mental needs . This is the attitude and policy objective which the Special Administrative Region Government should have in respect of elderly care
施政報告亦指出，政府的政策方向應以家居和社區照顧為重點，而院舍則作為輔助，目標是把服務的輪候時間減至零。
As pointed out by the Policy Address the Governments policy direction should accord priority to the provision of home care and community care supplemented by institutional care with the aim of achieving zero waiting time for such services
我當然很渴望看見服務的輪候時間真的能減至零，但我同時認為，資源的有效配對更為重要。
I am certainly eager to see that the waiting time can really be reduced to zero but at the same time I hold that effective matching of resources is more important
主席，今年8月，我和兩位議員應邀出席在越南胡志明市舉行題為"為可持續增長而投資於健康積極的晚年"的論壇，探討如何有效面 對人口老化帶來的挑戰。
President in August this year two Members and I attended upon invitation a forum on Investing in Healthy and Active Ageing for Sustainable Growth in Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam exploring how to effectively tackle the challenges brought forth by population ageing
論壇上，多名外國專家分享了他們對樂齡科技的應用和前景的意見。
At the forum various foreign experts shared their views on the application and prospects of gerontechnology
在先進國家中，日本的老年人口比例最高，所以日本一直致力推動護老科技產品的研發，包括護理機器和智能機械人等。
Among the advanced countries the proportion of elderly population in Japan is the highest . For this reason Japan has all along been committed to promoting the research and development RD of gerontechnological products including nursing machines and artificial intelligence robots
事實上，香港近年在長者醫療和護理科技方面的發展亦相當卓越，例如有本地保安系統公司研發了"智能防遊走系統"，通過人臉辨識技術和數據分析，追蹤長者的位置，提醒護理員長者有否出走，減低他們走失的風險。
As a matter of fact Hong Kongs development of elderly health care and nursing technologies has been outstanding in recent years . For example a local security system company has developed the Smart Guard for Anti - wandering system which can track the location of elderly persons through facial recognition technology and data analysis and send reminders to the nursing staff of whether the elderly have wandered away thereby reducing their risk of getting lost
此外，香港理工大學早年亦研發了一套"遠距家居及社區照護系統"，監察獨居長者在家中的健康情況，以及查看他們有否發生意外，該系統同時適用於智障人士及小童。
Besides some years ago The Hong Kong Polytechnic University also developed the TeleCare System monitoring the health conditions of elderly singletons and watching out for any accident to them at home . The system is also applicable to persons with intellectual disabilities and children
主席，利用創新科技解決長者日常面對的問題，可緩解護理人手不足的問題，減輕前線員工的工作壓力，達致改善和提升長者的生活環境和質素。
President if we can resolve the problems faced by the elderly in their daily life through innovation and technology the shortage of nursing manpower will be alleviated and the work pressure of frontline staff hence reduced thereby improving and enhancing the living environment and quality of life of the elderly
不過，即使有更好的研發產品和科技配套，如果沒有資源注入護老院，亦無法成事。
However even if there are better RD products and technological facilities nothing can be achieved without injection of resources into RCHEs
事實上，不少安老院舍本身已難以負擔部分基本護理設備和開支，在如此艱難的環境下，院舍根本無法騰出額外資源來購買高新科技產品。
In fact many RCHEs can hardly afford some of the expenses and basic nursing equipment on their own . They actually cannot spare extra resources to buy any new high - tech products in such dire straits
此外，如果這些科技成品推出市面，但最終未能被廣泛使用，難免會對有意從事樂齡科研的青年造成一定的打擊。
Besides if these technological products are introduced into the market but ultimately cannot be put to extensive application it will inevitably deal a bitter blow to the young people who intend to engage in scientific research in gerontechnology
雖然政府表示會擴大長者社區照顧服務券的覆蓋範圍，不少私營安老院舍也能受惠，但他們仍然希望能透過"改善買位計劃"，從政府獲得更多資源，而前提是，私營安老院須通過更高要求的服務承諾，提升他們的院舍管理。
Although the Government has indicated that it will expand the scope of the Community Care Service Vouchers for the Elderly which can benefit many private RCHEs the latter still wish to obtain more resources from the Government through the Enhanced Bought Place Scheme . The premise is that private RCHEs must enhance their management by fulfilling more demanding performance pledges
說到底，這其實關乎一個問題：如何令更多投資者在香港投放更多資源興建有質素的安老院呢？
After all this is actually about one question How can we make more investors inject more resources into the building of quality RCHEs in Hong Kong?
政府可否為他們提供更多資源、動力和鼓勵，在香港興建有質素的安老院呢？
Can the Government offer them more resources impetus and encouragement for building quality RCHEs in Hong Kong?
主席，特首日前亦表示，輸入外勞是不能迴避的議題，亦是唯一的解決方法。
President the Chief Executive has also stated earlier that labour importation is an inevitable issue and the only solution too
安老業界指出，不少安老院舍的本地照顧員均只願做兼職，因為時間有較大彈性，無須問責，而院舍通常會安排他們做比較簡單的工作，例如餵食；長工則要負責較高風險的工作，例如協助長者洗澡及皮膚護理。
As pointed out by the elderly care industry many local carers in RCHEs are willing to work only part - time because there is greater flexibility in the working hours with no accountability . Usually RCHEs will arrange for them to do simpler jobs such as feeding whereas permanent staff are responsible for jobs entailing higher risks such as helping the elderly take baths and skincare
外勞的規定是要全職工作，所以，他們認為外勞有助穩定人手。
Foreign labour is required to work full - time . For this reason they consider that foreign labour can help stabilize the manpower situation
究竟應否輸入外勞，我認為社會上要再作討論，但吸引更多青年加入安老行業，才是根治人手不足的有效辦法。
Whether foreign labour should be imported in my view has to be further discussed in society but the only effective way to resolve the manpower shortage at root is to attract more young people to join the elderly care industry . I have the following several suggestions . Elderly care work has all along given people the impression of being relatively elementary
安老工作一直予人較基層的感覺，我認為首先應從小教導，讓年青人知道安老服務是一門尊重生命的行業； 第二，可否在香港建立一個國際化、有認受性的專業架構，成立有認受性的培訓中心，培育有志在這方面發展的青年，並調整薪酬福利，令他們更能融合或更希望在這個行業發展；此外，從引入高科技和工種專業化等不同角度着手，提升香港安老業的社會地位和對外形象，希望這樣能夠長遠地有效根治人手不足的問題。
Secondly can the Government establish an international recognized professional framework in Hong Kong? . It can set up a recognized training centre to nurture young people aspiring to career development in this field and adjust the remuneration package so that they will be more integrated with or keener on pursuing development in this industry . Moreover it can work from different angles such as the introduction of advanced technologies and specialization of trades to enhance the social status and external image of the elderly care industry in Hong Kong with a view to effectively resolving the manpower shortage at root in the long term
我希望政府當局認真考慮我以上的方案。
I hope the Administration will seriously consider the proposals made by me just now
主席，這是特首林鄭月娥上任後的第一份施政報告，而且整份報告洋洋灑灑長達49,000字，是回歸以來最長的一份。
President this is the first Policy Address delivered by Chief Executive Carrie LAM since she took office . The 49 000 - word report is also the longest Policy Address delivered since the reunification
不過，林太打破傳統，沒有逐字讀出，而只是簡潔地勾劃出她的施政藍圖，貫徹她力求創新的管治風格。
Nevertheless Mrs LAM broke with the tradition by not reading it out verbatim . Instead she merely outlined her policy blueprint briefly maintaining her governance style of striving for innovation
今年施政報告的主題是"一起同行擁抱希望分享快樂"，在經歷了違法佔中和社會撕裂的今天，這個主題顯得特別有意義。
The theme of the Policy Address this year is We Connect for Hope and Happiness . Today given that Hong Kong has experienced the unlawful Occupy Central and social split this theme carries special significance
事實上，我們看到這份施政報告務實、全面而且具前瞻性。
In fact we can see that this Policy Address is pragmatic comprehensive and forwarding - looking
為了照顧基層市民的置業希望，施政報告提出首置先導計劃和"綠表置居計劃"，以填補港人置業階梯的空隙。
In order to meet the aspiration of the public for home ownership the Policy Address proposed a Starter Homes Pilot Scheme and a Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership Scheme in order to fill a gap on the home ownership ladder for Hong Kong people
在減輕生活開支方面，政府建議推出近乎惠及全民的《免入息審查的公共交通費用補貼計劃》。
On alleviating living expenses the Government proposed to introduce a non - means - tested Public Transport Fare Subsidy Scheme to benefit almost the entire community
為了解決本港經濟停滯、產業狹窄的問題，林太又提出多項措施推動"創科產業"，以及提升年青一代的科研知識。
In order to resolve problems of economic stagnancy and the narrow industrial base Mrs LAM also proposed a number of initiatives to take forward innovation and technology industries and upgrade the knowledge of the young generation in scientific research
有評論認為，施政報告提出的部分措施，跟新加坡推行的措施相似。
Some critics have formed the view that some initiatives proposed in the Policy Address are similar to those introduced in Singapore
例如，特首提出成立公務員學院培訓本港公務員，有人認為跟新加坡公共服務學院的概念相似。
For instance the Chief Executive proposed establishing a new civil service college for the training of our civil servants . Some people hold that the college is similar to the concept of the Civil Service College in Singapore
至於擬議實施的利得稅兩級制，有人認為林太似乎參考了新加坡政府對一般企業和居民企業提供首30萬元利潤享有稅務豁免的做法。
As regards the proposed implementation of a two - tier profits tax system some people suspect that Mrs LAM has made reference to the granting of tax exemptions by the Singaporean Government for the first 300,000 profit made by ordinary enterprises as well as enterprises operated by its residents . Singapore was the first destination of overseas visits made by Mrs LAM after taking office
林太上任後出訪首站便是新加坡，我不知道她的目的是否向新加坡學習，但答案並不重要，因為只要是好東西，我們不妨學習和參考。
I wonder if the purpose of her visit was to learn from Singapore . The answer is however unimportant for so long as something is good we might as well learn and make reference to it
主席，接下來我會就教育議題發言，因為教育是民建聯最關心的一項政策。
President I would like to speak on education issues because the education policy is the greatest concern of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong DAB
首先，我想談談學童壓力的問題。
Before all else I would like to say a few words about the pressure faced by school children
今年年中，香港兒科基金公布的一項調查發現，家長認為子女升讀小學後，學業壓力大增六成。
According to the survey findings published by the Hong Kong Paediatric Foundation in mid - 2017 parents considered that the academic pressure faced by their children after advancing to primary schools had increased significantly by 60 %
作為家長，我和大家也有共鳴。
As a parent myself I can echo members of the public
政府實在不能低估這些問題的嚴重性，假如市民出現精神健康問題而又不能獲得妥善處理的話，便可能在一念之間做出自殺行為。
The Government can simply not underestimate the gravity of these problems . Members of the public might decide to commit suicide in the split of a second if they have mental problems and fail to receive proper treatment
此外，10歲至19歲人士的求助個案數字也較2015年上升了23%。
Furthermore the number of assistance requests from people aged between 10 and 19 also rose by 23 % over 2015
主席，家長教育同樣十分重要。
President parent education is equally important
剛才的調查觀察所得，這些青少年出現情緒困擾的其中一個主因與家長有關，其次是學業問題。
According to the findings of the survey mentioned just now one of the main reasons for these young people to experience emotional disturbance was linked to parents with academic problems being the next
身為家長，我認為這些數字是一個重要警號，因為家長作為教育的持份者之一，對學童的發展至關重要。
As a parent I consider these figures have sounded a major alarm because parents as one of the stakeholders in education are crucial to the development of school children
所以，我們十分希望政府能夠增撥資源，為所有學校設立常設職位，加強家長教育。
This is why we very much hope that the Government can allocate additional resources to the establishment of permanent posts for all schools such that enhance parent education can be enhanced
家教會所擔當的角色，不應只限於舉辦聯誼活動，學校應該好好利用家教會作為平台，主動接觸有需要的家長，真正達致家校合作，使問題得以解決。
Meanwhile the role of parent - teacher associations PTAs should not be confined to organizing social activities . Schools should make good use of PTAs as a platform to take the initiative to contact with parents in need to truly achieve cooperation between parents and schools with a view to resolving problems
我認為政府應該在家教會以外的社區層面，廣泛宣傳正確的家長文化和教育，從而改變過度競爭的文化，扭轉例如"贏在起跑線"的錯誤心態，重視兒童的快樂成長。
In my opinion the Government should publicize correct parent culture and education on an extensive scale at the community level beyond PTAs with a view to changing the culture of excessive competition reversing parents incorrect mindset such as winning at the starting line and emphasizing happy growth of children
政府也應建立不管是線上還是線下的家長分享平台，讓家長分享育兒經驗和心得，甚至招募義工、交換課本和其他物資，通報學校的情況等。
The Government should also establish sharing platforms both online and offline for parents to share child - rearing experience or even recruit volunteers exchange books and other resources provide updates on schools and so on
此外，家長必須注意培養小朋友樂天的個性。
Furthermore parents must attach importance to developing an optimistic character in their children at an early age
年輕人尋死其實常常與心態有密切關係，因為性格堅強和樂天的人通常不會輕易自尋短見。
In fact suicides among young people are often closely linked to their mindset as a person of strong character tends not to commit suicide easily
性格的塑造與後天也有密切關係，如果家長能夠多點關心小朋友，不會經常因成績欠佳而責罵子女，或將自己的子女與別人的子女比較，肯定能夠較易培養子女的樂天性格，間接減低年輕人自殺的機會。
Personality may also be shaped after birth . If parents can show more concern for small children and refrain from frequently scolding their children due to poor academic performance or comparing their own children with others they can definitely develop an optimistic character in their children more easily thereby indirectly reducing the possibility of suicides among young people
身為一名家長，我很明白香港現時面對的競爭文化，有時候家長也感到身不由己。
As a parent I understand very well the competitive culture faced by Hong Kong today . Sometimes parents lose control of themselves too
一位小朋友上下午到兩間不同的幼稚園上學，或一個星期參加8項或以上的課外活動，這些都是我們經常在親朋戚友的圈子裏聽見的傳聞。
A small child may attend two different kindergartens in the morning and afternoon or participate in eight or more extra - curricular activities weekly . All these rumours are often heard within our circle of relatives and friends
我認為這個責任不應只由家長擔當，學校同樣責無旁貸。
In my opinion the responsibility should not be borne by parents alone . Schools should similarly be responsible
我近日曾經陪同家中小朋友到一間出名的學校參加小一面試，校長在簡介會的一番說話至今仍然令我印象難忘，他竟然再三告訴家長，學校不會 看小朋友的履歷，即我們經常聽到的portfolio或profile。
I have recently accompanied my child to attend a Primary One interview in a prestigious school and I am still impressed by the remarks made by the school principal in a briefing session . He reminded parents repeatedly that the school would not take any look at the childrens portfolios or profiles
此外，在面試過程中，校長強調千萬不要要求小朋友背誦一些公式化或死記硬背的標準答案。
Furthermore he emphasized that parents should not ask their small children to recite some standard answers for the interviews or memorize the answers by rote
例如，小朋友不要在老師提出問題後回答："對不起，我想不到答案，請問老師可不可以教我呢？
For instance small children should not answer in this manner when being asked questions by teachers Excuse me I do not know the answer . Can you teach me please?
"因為這些答案不可能出自一位參加小一面試的5歲小朋友，而這便是死記硬背或曾經接受強加訓練的結果。
It is because a five - year - old attending a Primary One interview cannot possibly come up with such an answer . It is simply the result of rote learning or compulsory training
部分學校和校長更強調小朋友根本不應為面試作準備，因為學校注重的是小朋友自然率性的表現。
Some schools and principals even emphasize that children should simply not make preparations for interviews because what schools care most is their performance in a natural and unpretentious manner
我認為局長也應大力鼓勵學校遏止不必要的面試和考核，讓每位小朋友都擁有快樂的童年。
In my opinion the Secretary should also vigorously encourage schools to curb unnecessary interviews and appraisals to enable every child to enjoy a happy childhood
民建聯自2006年起，幾乎每年都為學生量度書包重量，而且發現他們的書包一年比一年重。
Since 2006 DAB has been measuring the weight of their school bags almost every year and found that their school bags are getting heavier year on year
民建聯在今年的調查中訪問了969名學生，若以衞生署建議書包不應超出學童體重十分之一為標準，超過八成學童的書包已經超重。
In the survey conducted this year 969 students were interviewed by DAB . If the Department of Healths recommendation that the weight of a school bag should not exceed one tenth of the weight of a student is adopted as the standard then the school bags of more than 80 % of the students interviewed were already overweight
如果以書包的標準重量計算，書包平均的超重量更創出10年新高。
Calculating on the basis of the standard weight of a school bag the average excessive weight of school bags has even reached a 10 - year new height
教育局也可考慮資助學校購買"共用課本"，以及增加儲物櫃的數目，那麼學童便可以減少攜帶書本的數目。
The Education Bureau can also consider subsidizing schools to purchase share books and provide additional lockers so that school children may bring fewer books to school
主席，電子教學也是民建聯關心的一項教育政策，因為要長遠改善書包過重的問題，推動電子教學無疑是一個可行方案。
President e - teaching is also one of the education policies of concern to DAB because the promoting of e - teaching is undoubtedly a feasible option to ameliorate the problem of overweight school bags long term
民建聯早前曾經致函訪問70位小學校長，發現最多小學校長關注的是改善校園環境或設施，更新資訊科技設備及推動電子教學。
Earlier DAB interviewed 70 primary school principals by letter and found that the greatest concern to most of them are improving the environment or facilities of the campus replacing information and technology equipment and promoting e - teaching
