On Thursday's Backchat, we looked at an Education Bureau survey which found that about 98 percent of employers were satisfied with the work performance of local graduates.
The survey talked to about 1,500 employers and over 1,300 local graduates, as well sub-degree holders. Its results showed that work attitude was perceived by employers as the most important aspect of competence.
After the break, we learned more about industrial tourism as visitors will soon be able to join tours in facilities operated by a number of well-known Hong Kong brands, including food company Lee Kum Kee, and bakery chain Kee Wah.
And to end the show, we talked to a dentistry expert about a recent agreement by multiple countries to phase out mercury tooth-fillings.
