Commentary on the General Opinion Survey on Hong
Kong's Future, conducted by IKU Students' Union
HKUSU Ad-hoo Committee on HK's Future
(March 1984)
First-year students' heartening concern in Hong Kong's future
A total of 2,444 questionnaires were returned in this general
opinion survey conducted by the HKUSU, representing 47 per cent of the
Unions membership. The response was considered satisfactory when
compared with other opinion surveys conducted by the Union.
total number of questionnaires returned, 66 per cent were from the
students and 33.7 per cent from their female counterparts (about 2:1).
The percentages show that female students in this survey were far more
responsive as the ratio of female to male students in the University
is 1:3. In addition, responses from students of different levels show
that the higher olass they were in, the less responsive they became.
This is evidenced by the fact that the questionnaires returned by the
third-year students were only about half the number of those returned
by the first-year's.
The first-year students' concern in Hong Kong's future is
encouraging and it is felt that more chances and venues should be
offered in future for further discussions of the issue.
