Mandy ZhengA university president has warned that many liberal studies teachers are using unfair and sensational newspaper reports as teaching materials. Wong Yuk-shan of Open University said: "You can't deny that nowadays, newspapers often conduct unfair reporting. He was commenting on a survey result, in which around 79 percent of 484 liberal studies teachers polled said that newspapers were a source for their teaching material. The foundation also urged the government to start vetting liberal studies textbooks and its supplementary materials. While the subject's textbooks are not required to undergo government review, their publishers can seek advice from the education bureau, which launched professional consultancy services last September.
