Lingnan University celebrates 50 years of rebirth

HONG KONG - Hong Kong's Chief Secretary for Administration Matthew Cheung Kin-chung said on Sept 19 that the government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region will continue to invest in education and join hands with the higher education sector to provide the younger generation with more and better opportunities.

Speaking at the launch ceremony of the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the re-establishment of Lingnan University in Hong Kong, Cheung said education was a top policy priority of the SAR government.

It is taking the lion's share of the government recurrent expenditure, accounting for 21 percent of the total in the current financial year, which illustrates the SAR government's commitment to education in Hong Kong, he added.
