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.
