The year 2023 will be the last year for Hong Kong senior secondary school students to take the compulsory subject of Liberal Studies. After the subject is retired, the new subject designed by the Hong Kong government (HKgov), Citizenship and Social Development, will be its permanent replacement.

Founded by local Liberal Studies teachers in 2005, The Hong Kong Liberal Studies Teachers’ Association (HKLSTA) held a member’s meeting on July 16 on the motion of disbanding the organization. After deliberation, the decision of disbandment was approved.
