Chief Executive, Mr Chui Sai On, attends an exchange session with the youth.
The Government would allocate more resources to diversify young people’s career development, said the Chief Executive, Mr Chui Sai On, at an exchange session with the youth. The Government had attached much attention to youngsters’ development and had a good communication with them to ensure their views were heard during administration, said Mr Chui. Sharing his views on education system and economic situation with local young people at an exchange session for youth employment and entrepreneurship on 9 August, Mr Chui said this opportunity allowed him to know better the youth and to better optimise youth policy. On education system, Mr Chui said the exam-based system could hardly be changed completely in a short period of time, but stressed the Government would strive to seek a more flexible method letting students demonstrate their potential while bettering parent-child relationships. System that was in use in international schools might be not applicable to all schools in Macao, but exploring a more diversified education system was the priority of the Government, he said. Mr Chui said the finance status remained stable even in the period of consolidation when revenue from gaming had experienced decline over the past 13 months. If there was any need to impose stricter financial measures, Government would cut administrative spending; but Mr Chui assured projects related to people’s livelihood, social services and welfare would not be affected. Speaking to the press after the session, Mr Chui said the Government would explain to the public the land exchange issues involving Iec Long Firecracker Factory, after a thorough investigation carried out by the Secretary for Transport and Public Works, Mr Raimundo do Rosário. Office of the Secretary for Transport and Public Works issued a statement today saying after analysing the existing information the Secretary considered to refer the case to the Commission Against Corruption.
