有不少建制派說，發展高爾夫球場和軍事用地的建議很荒謬，但其實即使政府收回粉嶺高爾夫球場建設房屋，也可以在一些不適合建屋的土地上重置球場。
Quite a number of pro - establishment Members say that the proposals of developing the golf club and military sites are ridiculous . Yet even if the Government takes back the Fanling Golf Club for housing development it can still relocate the golf club on sites that are not suitable for housing construction
有團體建議，政府可在一些前堆填區的用地重置球場，事實上在大埔已有先例。
It is suggested that the Government could relocate the golf club at some former landfill sites . In fact there is a precedent in Tai Po
至於軍事用地，也不應是香港人討論的禁區，當香港有超過10幅的軍事用地，政府是否可以全面檢討各用地的用途和現況呢？
As for military sites it should not be a restricted zone for public discussion . Hong Kong has more than 10 military sites so can the Government fully review the use and current condition of individual sites?
主席，我想就數項修正案發言，包括......
Chairman I wish to speak on a few Committee Stage amendments CSAs including
你如有不明白之處，可向代表資訊科技界別的議員查詢。
If you do not understand you can ask the Member from the Information Technology sector
主席，我會就涉及教育的修正案發言，包括編號第54、55、56及57號修正案。
Chairman I will speak on the CSAs concerning education including CSAs nos . 54 55 56 and 57
這些修正案包括削減教育局局長的全年預算薪酬開支、開發《基本法》教育的學與教資源方面的全年預算開支，亦有"課程發展處"和"促進香港與內地姊妹學校交流試辦計劃"的預算開支。
These CSAs seek to deduct the annual estimated salary of the Secretary for Education the annual estimated expenditures for developing learning and teaching resources for Basic Law education and also the estimated expenditures of the Curriculum Development Institute and Pilot Scheme on Promoting Interflows between Sister Schools in Hong Kong and the Mainland
我們對教育局局長有數方面的期望：第一，是政治上的問題，這是大家也關心的。
We have a few expectations of the Secretary . First political problems are something we are all concerned about
在過去一段時間有很多具爭議的問題出現，亦包括一些特首認為是"無風起浪"的事件出現，而這些事件似乎是有跡可尋的。
Over the past many controversial issues have surfaced and also some incidents stirred up for no reasons according to the Chief Executive but there is actually a reason behind the incidents
這些問題其實也令教育局局長的聲望及教育局的整體形象受到影響，我希望教育局局長在這方面能夠展現明確的態度，顯示香港的教育既能貫徹"一國"，亦能貫徹"兩制"。
These issues have tainted the reputation of the Secretary for Education and the overall image of the Education Bureau . I hope the Secretary can be adamant that education in Hong Kong is in line with the concept of one country and also two systems
如果這些問題只是傳媒炒作，局長其實可以出來告訴大家並無其事。
If these issues are only fabricated by the media the Secretary can come out and clarify
如果政府有清晰的立場，例如局長也表示其母語是廣東話，他可以直截了當地說出來。
If the Government has a clear stance for instance the Secretary has indicated that Cantonese is his mother tongue he can directly tell us
第二個對教育局局長的期望，我相信大家都希望他的教育政策，能夠引領香港的教育向着好的方向繼續發展。
We have a second expectation of the Secretary for Education . I believe we all hope that his education policy can lead Hong Kong to progress in a good direction in respect of education
最近令教育局局長的聲望受挫的其中一個重要原因，是小三全港性系統評估的問題。
One of the major reasons that has recently tainted the reputation of the Secretary is the Territory - wide System Assessment TSA
最重要的是，TSA只是現在小學學生感到很辛苦、功課太多的問題的其中一部分。
Most importantly TSA is only part of the cause to the exhaustion that primary school students feel or the excessive homework they have
如果局方連這部分問題也處理不好，很多市民會對香港教育失去信心。
If the Bureau cannot even tackle this part of the cause the public will lose confidence in the education in Hong Kong
如果香港的教育不能夠擺脫過度操練、過度壓迫的問題，大家只有另覓出路。
If the education system in Hong Kong cannot rid itself of excessive drilling or pressure people will have to find another way out
如果在小三TSA的問題上，政府不能夠發出清晰的信號，讓市民知道政府有決心令香港學生不再受煎熬、受苦，其實這是很可惜的。
It is indeed very regrettable if the Government fails to give a clear message to the public on the matter of TSA for primary three students so as to let people know that the Government is determined in ending the suffering of students in Hong Kong
除了小三TSA外，過去一段時間還有另一件事令大家失去信心，就是小學"一校一社工"的問題。
Apart from TSA for primary three students another issue also drained away our confidence recently . The issue is having one social worker for each primary school
本來小學"一校一社工"是改善香港小學輔導力量的重要機會，尤其是在"臨臨事件"發生後，連帶揭發她的哥哥就讀的小學也沒有發現哥哥受虐的問題，於是大家便覺得幼稚園和小學也需要改善輔導服務，特別是一些困難個案需要社工協助。
This issue is supposed to be the golden opportunity to enhance the counselling capacity of primary schools in Hong Kong . Especially in view of the incident of the little girl Lam Lam and the subsequent discovery that the primary school where Lam Lams brother attends is also ignorant of her brother being abused we increasingly feel the need to improve counselling services in kindergartens and primary schools to tackle difficult cases that require the help of social workers
政府的目標是要有全職的社工，但社會關心的是，我們是否真的做好了小學的輔導工作。
The Governments goal is to have a full - time social worker . But peoples concern is whether the guidance work can been properly taken forward
小學輔導工作要做得好，小學輔導教師的角色非常重要，我們應否採用教育界、社工界和整個社會也很期望的"一加一"模式？
In order to properly take forward guidance work in primary schools the role of SGT is very important . Should we adopt the one - plus - one model highly aspired by the education sector social work sector and society in general?
這包括數個元素，第一，應該以經常性撥款為主，而不是靠短期撥款。
This includes several factors . First education funding should be in the form of recurrent funding rather than short - term funding
短期撥款對教育欠缺承擔，我們要求以經常性撥款為主；第二，款項要真的花在有用的地方。
Since the Government cannot made a big commitment on education with short - term funding recurrent funding is preferred; and second the funding should be used on useful places
我覺得要留意的是，當政府批出短期撥款時，會令現職教師的工作百上加斤。
I think the Government should pay attention that such short - term funding will further increase the heavy workload of teachers
我們希望教育資源能夠轉化為教育力量，而這股力量很多時候要依靠老師承擔更多工作。
We hope that education resources can be transformed into education power but teachers often have to take up more projects in order to translate this funding into education power
但是，現時我們的做法往往也不能達到這樣的效果，反而是在不增加教師的情況下，增加更多非經常性工作，以致每項工作也要重新安排，這是不理想的。
But our existing practice often cannot achieve this effect . Without additional manpower teachers often have to re - arrange all their work when they are assigned with more non - recurrent projects . This is not a desirable practice
最糟糕的是，這次財政預算案會保留已預留但未動用的50億元中的14億元，再多加預留20億元的撥款，本來這應該令大家很開心，我覺得這也是積極的做法，預留款項本身已經是積極的做法。
The worst part is that on top of the 1.4 billion which is the reserved but unused portion of the 5 billion funding for education the Government also pledges in this Budget to reserve an additional 2 billion for education . This should be something to be happy about and I think this is also an proactive commitment
作為教育界一分子、作為社會人士，我相信也希望這筆錢能夠落實使用，但現時政府沒有具體計劃，沒有具體計劃便不能落實使用，不能落實的話，這筆錢至少在這一年便會變成空中樓閣。
As a member of the education sector and also a member of society I believe and also hope that the money will be put to good use . However to date the Government does not have any specific plans . If there is no specific planning the money cannot be put to good use; and if the money cannot be put to good use it will at least in this year be something unreal
那麼教育局局長能否提出具體計劃，並說服特首或財政司司長運用這筆預留撥款來改善教育問題，以及回應教育界的迫切需求呢？
So can the Secretary for Education put forth a specific plan and convince the Chief Executive or the Financial Secretary to use the money reserved to improve education problems and respond to the pressing needs of the education sector?
我們曾提出提高學位教師的比例，又或改善班師比的編制，這些也是大家有共識的，為何政府不能盡快回應我們的訴求呢？
We have proposed that the ratio of graduate teachers should be increased and that the class - to - teacher ratio in the establishment should be improved . These are issues that we already have a consensus . Why is the Government unable to expeditiously respond to our aspirations?
所以，教育局局長的聲望在這段時間受損也是有其原因的，希望他能盡快改善香港的教育。
Hence there is a reason behind the recent dropping popularity of the Secretary for Education . I hope that he can expeditiously improve the education in Hong Kong
主席，反對派議員提出削減律政司和香港警務處的預算開支，很容易令我們思考他們為何要針對這兩個部門。
Chairman the opposition Members proposals on reducing the estimated expenditures of the Department of Justice and the Hong Kong Police Force naturally make us wonder why they want to pick on these two government departments
這兩個部門肩負了維持香港社會秩序，進行執法和檢控的職責，若要削減執法者即警隊維持社會秩序的開支，又或削減執行刑事檢控職能的開支，是否意味反對派議員希望看到香港四處出現違法搗亂、破壞社會秩序和安寧、有法不執的情況？
These two departments are responsible for keeping social order law enforcement and prosecutions . So when these Members seek to deduct the expenditure of the law - enforcer on keeping social order and also the expenditure on criminal prosecutions do they actually want Hong Kong to see widespread unlawful disturbances the destruction of social order and peace and the non - enforcement of laws?
是否要法律問題政治解決，不對干犯法律的人士採取執法行動，這樣才算正確？
And do they actually mean that we should stop taking enforcement actions against law - breakers and simply let politics deal with matters that should be handled judicially?
所以，主席，我希望他們能夠明白，對於香港的長遠發展和我們的下一代，我們要有恰當的規劃和交代。
Therefore Chairman I hope opposition Members can all realize that we actually owe it to our future generations to draw up appropriate planning for the long - term development of Hong Kong
看到今天有問題而處理不到，便要盡責地設法處理，而對於未來的問題則不能視而不見。
If we see any problems that are hitherto unresolved we should seek to tackle them responsibly . And we must not turn a blind eye to any future problems that we can foresee
該項修正案議決將總目152削減2,630萬元。
53 Resolved that head 152 be reduced by 26,300,000 in respect of subhead 000
另一個主題公園海洋公園成立至今已41年，是不少香港市民度過快樂童年的地方，亦是長者免費遊玩的好去處。
Established for 41 years up to the present day Ocean Park another major theme park in Hong Kong is a place where many local citizens spent their happy childhood . Moreover it is also an ideal destination for the elderly to visit for free
海洋公園同樣對提升本港旅遊吸引力及經濟作出了極大貢獻，但由於它的景區現正面臨珠海長隆海洋王國的競爭，因此在經營上須面對極大挑戰。
Similar to Disney Ocean Park has also made great contribution to both the economy and enhancing Hong Kongs attractiveness as a tourist hotspot . However its operation is facing an severe challenge right now because of the emergence of Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in Zhuhai as a competitor to its theme zones
海洋公園作為香港重要的品牌，政府雖然並未持有其股份，但仍有責任給予支持，令香港市民集體記憶中的景區得以持續健康地發展。
Given the fact that Ocean Park has become an important local brand name it is still incumbent upon the Government to give Ocean Part due support even though it does not hold nay shares in the latter . It can help enable healthy development of the theme zones in Ocean Park by doing so which will remain a thread of the fabric of Hong Kong citizens collective memory
主席，相比於政府注資迪士尼的金額，這筆撥款並不算多，只能解決燃眉之急。
Chairman when compared with the amount of capital injection into Disney by the Government this sum is not a huge one and it is the only means to help the theme park meet its imminent needs
如要徹底改變園區處於被動位置的局面，海洋公園必須仿效迪士尼的做法，即制訂短、中、長期並更具前瞻性的規劃和發展策略，打造更具特色的旅遊設施，以提升景區整體競爭力及生命力。
To reverse completely the situation of being forced into a passive position Ocean Park has to follow Disneylands example of formulating short - medium - and long - term planning and development strategies that are more forward - looking to put in place tourist facilities with more special features to enhance the overall competitiveness and vitality of the theme zones
屆時，希望政府能在資金及政策方面多加扶持。
And I do hope that the Government will support the theme park in terms of capital injection and policy - making by then
主席，這項修正案提出的另一項建議，是削減具本地特色元素的全新立體投射水上光影表演的全年預算開支。
Chairman this amendment also proposes to cut the estimated annual expenditure for the staging of a new 3D projection - cum - water light show with local elements
近數年來，為吸引更多旅客訪港，政府增加向香港旅遊發展局撥款，而該局亦重點宣傳和推廣具本地特色元素的項目，並同時推出一些新的旅遊項目。
In recent years in order to attract more tourists to visit Hong Kong the Government has increased funding for the Hong Kong Tourism Board HKTB . The HKTB focuses on publicizing and promoting projects with local elements while taking forward new tourism projects in the meantime
政府不應過於迷信傳統景點的魅力，反而應不斷鼓勵及支持旅發局推出具創意的旅遊產品，以吸引有不同需要的旅客，讓他們能在香港感受到不同的體驗。
Thus the Government should turn away from its unmoving faith in the charm of traditional scenic spots . Instead it should keep on encouraging and supporting the HKTB to launch creative tourism products in order to attract visitors who have different needs . By doing so we can offer different experiences to visitors during their trips to Hong Kong
事實上，這些項目的投資金額並不算大，若能為香港增添特色，又何樂而不為呢？
In fact the amount of money to be invested in these projects is not that big . If investing in these projects can help enrich Hong Kongs features why not do so?
我尤其希望商務及經濟發展局能幫忙協調政府各個不同的政策局和部門，令香港的旅遊資源能夠充分發揮作用。
In particular I hope the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau can assist in coordinating different government bureaux and departments to optimize the use of Hong Kongs tourism resources
主席，我想針對陳志全議員就總目141項提出的第45項修正案發言。
Chairman I wish to focus on Mr CHAN Chi - chuens Amendment No . 45 on head 141
該修正案內容是有關削減勞工及福利局個人薪酬的全年預算開支。
The amendment is to deduct the estimated full - year expenditure for the remuneration of the Secretary for Labour and Welfare
我對此方面是完全同意的。
I agree with the proposal in this regard
主席，我上次發言是針對勞工及福利局有關勞工方面的問題，而今天我想就該局有關社福方面的問題發言，尤其是安老院舍的問題。
Chairman my previous speech was about labour matters under the purview of the Labour and Welfare Bureau . Today I wish to speak on welfare matters under its purview especially matters relating to elderly residential care homes
在財政預算案公布之後，很多人認為今次預算案改善安老服務方面的內容，並不理想。
Since the Budget was announced many people consider the improvement of elderly services not so desirable
雖然下年度撥出了22億2,900萬元作為非經常性開支，看起來數目不少，但此筆開支實際上只用於繼續支付一些舊政策下的措施，完全沒有新意。
Although the non - recurrent expenditure of about 2,229,000,000 for the next fiscal year seems to be quite large actually the expenditure will be allocated for the payment of some old initiatives under some old policies . There is nothing new
總括來說，這些並不是大刀闊斧、具備新創意，而只是沿襲政府過去短視及對於安老服務沒有新思維、新構思的做法，是絕對令人失望的。
In general they are not decisive bold and innovative . They are just initiatives following the Governments short - sighted conservative and non - innovative way of thinking and approach in delivering elderly services . It is totally disappointing
事實上，雖然社會最近數年一直要求政府提供恆常性津助服務，但政府的態度非常保守，不願意就實際需求在此方面增加一些款項。
In fact there have been voices in society calling for allocating recurrent subvention for services in recent years but the Government simply maintains a very conservative stance and is reluctant to increase the allocation to address the actual demand
我們特別關心津助院舍宿位、日間中心及家居照顧服務等名額，我們希望政府可以大刀闊斧，投放更多資源。
We are particularly concerned about space in subvented homes day care centre and home care service places . We hope the Government can make a bold and decisive move to allocate more resources in these areas
另一方面，大家不想政府太過積極的地方，政府反而做得積極，積極投放數百億元發展創新科技，大灑金錢，同時對樂齡科技方面亦花了不少金錢。
On the other hand the Government is quite pro - active in realms that people do not want it to be that enthusiastic such as allocating several tens of billions of dollars and making lavish expenditure in the development of innovative technology . And at the same time it spends quite a lot of money on gerontechnology
主席，我們當然不是反對推行科技創新以支援安老政策或措施，但問題在於推行此方面的同時，應否先推行一些基本工作呢？
Chairman of course we are not opposing to giving support to elderly initiatives or measures by means of innovative technology . But the question is should some fundamental work be implemented first prior to launching the initiatives in this area?
例如我剛才指出了，現時需要的安老服務包括人力支援、增加宿位等，這些一直以來也是迫在眉睫的問題，但政府沒有考慮這些，反而做了其他工作。
Such as the example I have pointed out just now what elderly services need are the manpower support and space and so on . All of these are pressing needs . But instead of considering them the Government makes efforts in other areas
例如過去不斷巧立名目的推行照顧服務券等，這些做法其實顯示了政府是在推卸責任。
For example the Government was trying to shirk its responsibilities by constantly launching care vouchers and other initiatives under tactfully - concocted pretexts in the past
因為這種做法會把安老服務推向私人市場，變成由私人市場照顧來解決問題，把應該由政府提供的社會服務逐漸推向市場化。
It is because the approach will only push elderly services into private market and thereby the problem is resolved by way of soliciting services from the private market and gradually the responsibility of Government - driven social services is pushed to market - driven services
然而，政府似乎不重視，任由問題存在，還要不斷令這些情況惡化。
These problem do exist in reality . But the Government seems to have ignored them and allows the problems to continue and deteriorate
我認為政府實在沒有認真的就香港未來人口老化的問題多下工夫。
I consider that the Government has not made any serious effort to tackle Hong Kongs ageing population problem
另一方面，主席，我剛才已經指出了，本年度預算案撥出5億元予兩項關愛基金的計劃，分別是"支援身體機能有輕度缺損的長者試驗計劃"及"支援在公立醫院接受治療後離院的長者試驗計劃"，此兩項計劃也是為期3年的。
On the other hand Chairman just now I have pointed out that in this budget the Government has set aside 500 million for two schemes under the Community Care Fund namely the Pilot Scheme on Home Care and Support for Elderly Persons with Mild Impairment and Pilot Scheme on Support for Elderly Persons Discharged from Public Hospitals after Treatment
由於計劃數目眾多，以致無人知道現時究竟有些甚麼服務？
Since there are too many schemes nobody knows what services are being provided
如果真的要得到服務，就要搜尋資料，看看哪個計劃能幫到你，讓人感覺真的是不理想。
If elderly people really want to get the service they want they will have to do some sleuthing jobs and see which scheme can help them
若想整體改善現時各項長者支援服務不足的問題，政府必須把安老服務納入未來整體規劃及財政藍圖。
If the Government really wants to resolve various problems relating to the insufficient elderly support services it should integrate elderly services into the overall planning as well as the financial blueprint for the future
可是，社會並非反對居家安老服務，問題在於政府有否資源協助居家安老服務呢？
Nonetheless we are not opposing to home care services for the elderly . The question is does the Government provide the necessary resources for elderly home care services?
主席，最後我想指出，在去年的預算案中，政府提到會增撥300億元加強安老和殘疾人士康復服務，但我們過去卻沒有聽到政府公布這300億元的具體用途。
Chairman finally I wish to point out that the Government indicated in last years budget that it would earmark a total of 30 billion to strengthen elderly services and rehabilitation services for persons with disabilities . But we have heard nothing in the past about the specific usage of the 30 billion over the past year
這便是我們最擔心的事情。
This is something we concerned most
所以，政府有必要告訴我們這300億元的去向，否則撥款會否形同虛設，只是口頭告訴我們已經預留，實際上卻無影無蹤呢？
Therefore the Government needs to tell us the whereabouts of the 30 billion otherwise the allocation will exist in name only and does it mean that all the Government needs to do is to tell us it has earmarked some funds orally but actually the funds have vanished?
主席，最後我想作個總結，我絕對贊成這項議案，因為我認為勞工及福利局局長及其同事在這方面是疏忽職守的。
Chairman lastly I wish to summarize my points . I totally agree to this motion . Because I consider the Secretary for Labour and Welfare and his colleagues have neglected their duties
可能你取得政府很多不同的研究，於是你可以作為"籌款"、"賺錢"最多的教授，這也可能是教資會下，一個不知是有心還是無意出現的結果。
If a professor can get many different research projects from the Government he or she will be regarded as a professor with fund - raising or profit - making capability . This is the outcome intended or unintended of the UGC policy
香港城市大學同樣停辦了一個兼讀社工課程，這些全是大學的事，而且不單是大學的事，亦與教資會有關。
Also the City University of Hong Kong has stopped offering a part - time social work programme . All these are the affairs of the universities but they are also connected with UGC
然而，既然34,553,000元是關於教資會、研究資助局及質素保證局的會議開支，究竟是甚麼會議？為何召開會議之後的結果會令到事情變得更壞而不是更好，令到大學有形而無實的呢？
But since this 34,553,000 is for the meetings of UGC RGC and QAC we want to know what these meeting are how they are held and why things simply get worse and the universities cannot perform their true functions after all these meetings
為此，我會支持區諾軒議員的修正案。
For this reason I will support Mr AU Nok - hins amendment
主席，這項"促進香港與內地姊妹學校交流試辦計劃"在2015-2016學年開始推行，原意是鼓勵更多香港學校與大陸學校締結成為姊妹學校，為期3年，屬試辦性質。
Chairman the three - year Pilot Scheme was first launched for trial in 2015 - 2016 school year with the original intent to encourage more schools in Hong Kong to pair up with their counterparts in the Mainland as sister schools
然而，本年度的財政預算案建議，自今年起，將這項交流計劃恆常化，預計每年額外開支為1億7,000萬元。
Yet this years Budget proposes to regularize the Pilot Scheme starting from this year which will involve an additional recurrent expenditure of 170 million per year
新民主同盟質疑教育局每年增加各項內地交流計劃的開支，未能用得其所。
The Neo Democrats doubts that the increased expenditure on the various Mainland exchange programmes under the Education Bureau every year had not been spent properly
因此，我發言支持區諾軒議員提出的這項修正案。
Hence I rise to speak in support of such an amendment moved by Mr AU Nok - hin
主席，我原先亦曾提出一項類似的修正案，但因主席收緊準則，須以全體議員為本，故在"一目一項"的原則下，我本人的修正案被拒。
Initially Chairman I had also proposed a similar amendment but due to the Presidents decision to tighten the criteria and adhere to the one amendment to one subhead principle for the sake of all Members in general my amendment was not admitted
但是，我仍想強調一點，我們認為教育局每年耗費大筆公帑，以資助不同類型的內地交流計劃，問題並非只在於這項"促進香港與內地姊妹學校交流試辦計劃"。
However I still wish to emphasize that in our opinion the problem with the huge sum of public money spent on funding different types of Mainland exchange programmes under the Education Bureau every year lies not only in the Pilot Scheme
在這5年間，參加這些交流團的學生人數，只由50,000人略增至63,000人。
During these five years the actual number of students participating in these exchange tours only increased slightly from 50 000 to 63 000
對教師而言，這些交流活動涉及大量額外工作，包括預備工作紙、向校方匯報及處理行政事務等，還要在整個交流行程中照顧及看管學生，十分辛苦，並不易為。
For teachers these exchange activities necessitate a great deal of extra work including preparing work sheets making reports to the school and handling administrative duties etc . Above all teachers have to look after and supervise the students throughout the entire exchange tour . It is no easy task and very tiring indeed
主席，審計署在今年2018年4月公布的《審計署署長報告書》中，揭發民政事務局近年大力資助建制派團體舉行各類青年內地交流團，資助金額逾1億元，較5年前大幅增加400%，但當中有部分交流團只屬濫竽充數。
Chairman it is revealed in the Director of Audits report released in April 2018 that the Home Affairs Bureau has been offering generous financial subsidies to support some pro - establishment bodies in organizing different types of youth exchange tours in the Mainland where the total amount of expenditure had exceeded 100 million representing an increase of 400 % as compared to that of 5 years ago . Yet some of the exchange tours were very much under - participated indeed
主席，政府的資源是不應這樣運用的。
Chairman government resources should not be used in this way
政府一方面引入內地專才，同時亦由得現行的教育制度及其他相關制度壓縮本地年輕人向上流動的機會，結果造成更多的中港矛盾，這並非增加舉辦內地交流團便可補救的。
On the one hand the Government has admitted Mainland professionals and on the other it allows local young peoples opportunities of moving up the social ladder to be suppressed under the current education system and other relevant systems as well thus leading to more China - Hong Kong conflicts in the end . The increase in Mainland exchange tours is indeed no remedy to this particular problem
有見及此，本港的年輕人又怎會心甘情願參加這些內地交流團？
Why would the young people in Hong Kong will be heartily willing to take part in those Mainland exchange tours in view of these facts?
主席，新民主同盟認為，政府現時每年把公帑用作於資助各項內地交流計劃上，實屬資源錯配。
Chairman the Neo Democrats considers the Governments practice of funding all sorts of Mainland exchange programmes with public money a user - resource mismatch in fact
因此，我發言支持區諾軒議員的修正案，削減"促進香港與內地姊妹學校交流試辦計劃"的預算開支。
Hence I rise to speak in support of Mr AU Nok - hins amendment which proposes to cut the estimated expenditure for the Pilot scheme on promoting interflow between the Hong Kong - Mainland sister schools
現時教科書出版社在編寫教科書時，須參照教育局的《課本編纂指引》及課程發展處就課本編印等事宜提供的最新指引。
Currently textbook publishers are required to follow the Guidelines for Printing of Textbooks and the latest relevant syllabusescurriculum guides developed by the Curriculum Development Council in writing and compiling textbooks
二十年以來，本港的教科書一直使用"收回"一詞，現在卻要改為"恢復主權"，難怪市民大眾開始懷疑我們的母語、教學語言及教育局之下的評審小組出現了一些根本性的改變。
The term recovery has been in use in Hong Kongs textbooks for 20 years but now it has to be changed into resumption of sovereignty . No wonder members of the public have started to doubt if our mother tongue medium of instruction and the editing panel under the Education Bureau have all undergone certain fundamental changes . Well where there is smoke there is fire
這種懷疑絕對合理，並非空穴來風。
And so this is kind of reasonable doubt indeed
課程發展處早年硬推通識科為獨立核心必修必考的科目。
In the early years the Curriculum Development Institute had pushed through the Liberal Studies subject as a mandatory independent core subject
