On Tuesday's Backchat, we talked about recent changes in the education sector. A new proposal will see teachers from publicly funded schools, private schools, international schools and kindergartens fulfill six requirements to obtain a three-year practising certificate. The measure aims to help teachers keep pace with the times, with secretary for education Christine Choi saying there will be leeway given in the first year of implementation.
After the break, a senior executive at the Hong Kong Monetary Authority told us more about a recent expansion of electronic payment arrangements for property transactions.
To end the show, we looked at the recent recent election in Thailand, where Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul's conservative party secured victory.
