The education system is outdated and exams are no longer necessary as technology can enable teachers to keep track of students’ learning progress to the minute, a former Hong Kong finance chief has said.
John Tsang Chun-wah, who served as financial secretary for a decade before resigning to run for chief executive in 2017, also said on Monday that education technology, which applied mobile tech, virtual reality and artificial intelligence to empower learning, should be adopted in Hong Kong rather than just focusing on e-learning and STEM lessons.
