Arthur Li Kwok-cheung GBS JP (born 27 June 1945 in Hong Kong), grandson of the co-founder of the Bank of East Asia, Li Koon-chun, and brother of its current chairman, David Li is a member of the Executive Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and was Secretary for Education and Manpower from August 2002 to June 2007. ==Biography== and a classmate of Professor Lawrence J. Lau, Li received his medical training at the University of Cambridge. He was subsequently trained at Middlesex Hospital Medical School and Harvard Medical School, before returning to Hong Kong to become the founding chairman of the Department of Surgery and Dean of Medicine at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Li's tenure as Secretary for Education and Manpower was marked by an era of education reforms that included the School-Based Management Policy. Since 2000, the Education and Manpower Bureau has implemented a number of mandates, including having teachers spend more time with students outside the classroom, adding exams for subjects such as English and history, and ordering that teachers take benchmark assessments to prove their language abilities. Li ostensibly retired from public service in 2007. In the role, he caused controversy by proposing mergers first between Chinese University and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and later between Chinese University and the Hong Kong Institute of Education.〔 Li's appointment by CY Leung to the governing board of the University of Hong Kong in 2015 met with strong criticism from staff, who feared an erosion of academic freedom.〔(Arthur Li made a HKU council member ), RTHK, 21 March 2015〕 Li had weeks earlier blamed the drop in international ranking of local universities on "academics who would rather appear in talk shows than do their job of teaching".〔(Most HKU staff have no confidence in Arthur Li, poll shows ), EJ Insight, 23 April 2015〕 and upon appointment he promptly criticised HKU professors for either "failing to carry out properly their duties in research and teaching" or having "become intellectually incompetent".〔(HKU Professors Insulted ), South China Morning Post, 6 April 2015〕 Six months later, when it became known that Li was likely to take over the chairmanship of the Council upon the expiry of the term of Edward Leong on 6 November, there was further strong opposition, with 87 percent of members of HKU Academic Staff Association and almost three-quarters of members of the Professional Teachers Union opposed.〔(University of Hong Kong alumni vow action to stop ex-minister Arthur Li taking over as chairman of ruling council ), SCMP, 25 Oct 2015〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arthur Li」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
