    Closure of schools / Waste management in rural areas

    On Tuesday's Backchat, we're talking about calls for better supervision of school closures.

    Controversy has arisen over the case of Rosaryhill Secondary School, in Wan Chai, which is planning to close earlier than orginally announced. Its sponsoring body had initially said it would close the school in 2026, because of enrollment and financial constraints, and stop admitting new pupils from this year. But it now intends to transfer students to another school in September.
    Some parents have expressed concern that the decision could have an impact on their children's development, calling on the Education Bureau to take a more proactive approach in handling the matter.
    After 9:45, we talk about ongoing improvements to refuse collection facilities in rural areas.

    Hong Kong's increasing divorce rates / ESF's 4.8% school fee increase

    主持人:Danny Gittings and Paul Zimmerman

    On Wednesday’s Backchat, we're be talking about the increasing divorce rate in Hong Kong.

    Divorce applications rose 25% last year and splitting couples had to wait longer to have their cases heard in Family Court, with the average waiting time reaching nearly three months. Lawyers say they’re starting to see some couples divorce much earlier into their marriages, often due to extramarital affairs or conflicts over parenting.
    But rising divorce rates aren’t unique to Hong Kong and some jurisdictions, such as France, are starting to make the process less painful by allowing consenting couples to avoid a court hearing.
    So is time for Hong Kong to do the same? Why are more people divorcing? And how does it affect their children?
    After 9:45, we discuss ESF's plan for a 4.8% increase in school fees.
