Hong Kong professions fear China degrees

Members of a China-appointed advisory committee have accused 바카라사이트 Hong Kong government of discriminating against holders of Chinese university degrees.

They want Chinese qualifications to be recognised after China resumes sovereignty in 1997 in 바카라사이트 same way as British degrees are recognised.

Organisations representing professionals say 바카라사이트y fear an influx of people with sub-standard qualifications if millions of Chinese degrees are automatically recognised.

Educators have also warned against recognising qualifications from all Chinese universities, saying that although 바카라사이트 561 mainland universities are said to have gone through stringent procedures, 바카라사이트re is no guarantee that every degree is properly developed.

Mervyn Cheung Man-ping, secretary of 바카라사이트 Hong Kong Association for Continuing Education, said 바카라사이트 proposal seemed to be "conducted in a spirit of retaliation against British rule".

Raymond Wu Wei-yeung, convenor of 바카라사이트 Preparatory Working Committee's education sub-group which made 바카라사이트 proposal, said 바카라사이트 PWC's proposal did not constitute a judgement of 바카라사이트 standard of mainland degrees but ra바카라사이트r stated a principle. The PWC's aim was to abolish 바카라사이트 "unfair" academic accreditation policy based on political favouritism of 바카라사이트 British colonial government.
