The EOC has made two submissions to the Government in response to the public consultation on the 2025 Policy Address, providing a range of recommendations to foster a more diverse and inclusive city.

In one of the submissions, the EOC proposed 21 policy recommendations under nine themes for the Government’s consideration. The nine themes include: addressing minority needs against the backdrop of technological development; awareness for mental health needs of young people; accessible arts, sports and leisure; accessibility and universal design; Support for carers; enhancing awareness of equal opportunities on school campuses; strategies for advancing gender equality and preventing sexual harassment; positive sexuality education to nurture our future generation; and fostering a racially friendly community for residents from diverse races and visitors to Hong Kong.

In another submission titled ‘Promotion of Chinese Language Education and Career Planning for Non-Chinese Speaking Students’, the EOC called on the Government to address the challenges faced by non-Chinese speaking students in education, with a particular focus on Chinese language learning and career planning.

Both submissions are available on the EOC’s website.
