According to a report in Hong Kong's Ming Pao on the 5th, Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said that she would continue to promote national education after taking office. Yang Runxiong, Director of Education in Hong Kong, also said that national education must be implemented and strengthened in due course, but no hard targets will be set. Ming Pao consulted the latest primary school survey, and found that at least 20 of about 500 schools listed the necessity of strengthening students' national identity, mostly through exchanges with the mainland. In addition, at least 46 schools have included "general education" (teaching Chinese in Putonghua) in their teaching plans.
