Hong Kong university students don’t seem to value education so why spend more funds on them?

Well-intentioned people could not imagine how infuriating a university classroom can be, with hard work being forsaken by a cohort of wanderers preoccupied with their thoughts, obsessed with smartphone games or engaged in courtship during lessons.

University education is not the only route to success

Students seem to have absolutely no respect for their professors, who must have gone through hundreds of articles before painstakingly delivering their lectures to their hopeless audience.

This is what I noticed when I attended philosophy classes at Education University as an elderly student. The irony is that these students are expected to go on to be the teachers of the next generation of Hongkongers.
