HONG KONG - The Education Bureau of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government will brief students at school about the law on safeguarding national security in the HKSAR, an official said Friday.

Kevin Yeung Yun-hung, secretary for education of the HKSAR government, said the bureau will study how to let students more deeply understand the significance of the law, its key content, and the influence on young people in class after the law takes effect.
