I am a secondary 5 Liberal Studies student conducting a Liberal Studies project regarding the challenges of textbook debundling (separating textbooks and learning materials for sale). In this survey, I would like to collect views of the public about the need and challenges of issuing this policy. Please kindly spare a few minutes to finish this questionnaire. I would like to ensure you that information collected will be kept confidential and solely for academic use, and all information will be destroyed completely once the project is finished.

Thank you in advance for your kindness and cooperation.
