Secretary for Education Kevin Yeung visited North District today to meet district councillors and residents.
He met North District Council Chairman So Sai-chi and other council members to discuss school allocation, supply of and demand for school places, and support for students.
He then visited HHCKLA Buddhist Wisdom Primary School in Sheung Shui to meet students participating in the 333 Learning Companion Leadership Program.
