Many teachers are concerned about the issue of civil service pay adjustment. I, too, am very anxious about it.
　Most LegCo members are very supportive towards passing the appropriation for the civil service pay adjustment. Even when the pan-democrats decided to carry out the ‘non-cooperation movement’ earlier, they made it very clear that they would not delay the appropriation for civil service pay adjustment and public work for education projects. Unfortunately, the government carries on with its delaying tactic by putting the issue after many highly controversial items (such as the expansion of the three landfill sites and the building of an incinerator）, or even taking out all public work for education projects that were already on the agenda. 　
　For the issue of civil service pay adjustment, I have repeatedly urged the government to adjust the sequencing of the agenda ( Speeches in the Panel on Public Service on 21 Jul & 17 Nov 2014) to bring forward the item of pay rise for discussion and approval. Also, in the internal meetings of the pan-democrats, I have also urged lawmakers from different parties to ensure the passage of the item.
　The issue of civil service pay adjustment is far-reaching, which includes the pay rise of all the teachers from government and aided schools. I hope the item can be passed within January 2015 at the latest.
