Associate Professor Dr Miron Bhowmik has recently been featured on TVB Pearl, Hong Kong’s main English-language TV channel. In the latest episode of ‘Pearl Magazine,’ aired on 9th November 2026, Dr Bhowmik was interviewed to discuss what ‘school choice’ means for minoritised students and their parents, its effects on their ‘integration,’ and what can be done to address this long-standing issue.His responses drew on his 15 years of research experience on education and the well-being of minoritised groups. Among others, he highlighted how segregation school system persists despite the policy being abolished over a decade ago, why school choice is controlled or limited for many minoritised students, and how it restricts their integration and various life outcomes. He also suggested some practical solutions for systemic reform.
