Scrapping Hong Kong national education 'an option'

Peter So:

All options will be considered by the government-appointed advisory body on the controversial national education curriculum - including scrapping it.

The panel's head, executive councillor Anna Wu Hung-yuk, said it may also produce a "minority report" to reflect disagreement among members to the administration.

Her latest remarks, in a TVB (SEHK: 0511) interview, contrast with what she said on Wednesday when she was appointed to head the Committee on the Implementation of Moral and National Education. Then, Wu declined to respond to questions on whether the committee - set up to look into difficulties in introducing the curriculum and screen teaching materials - would consider ditching the subject.
