Kevin Yeung: Authorities to support schools in promoting national security education through a “multi-pronged approach”
教育局局長楊潤雄在《紫荊雜誌》撰文，表示教育局會在國民教育、國家《憲法》及香港《基本法》教育的基礎之上，繼續以「多重進路」方式支援學校開展國家安全教育，包括發出課程文件，闡釋國家安全教育的重要理念，以及不同科目的課程內容如何自然連繫、有機結合，也會提供教學示例、學與教資源及建議活動等，讓學校在課堂內外推動國家安全教育。
Secretary for Education Kevin Yeung wrote in Bauhinia Magazine that, building on national education and education on the national Constitution and the Hong Kong Basic Law, the Education Bureau would continue to support schools in promoting national security education through a “multi-pronged approach”. This would include issuing curriculum documents explaining the important concepts of national security education and how curriculum content across different subjects could be naturally linked and organically integrated, as well as providing teaching examples, learning and teaching resources, and suggested activities, enabling schools to promote national security education inside and outside the classroom.

Education Bureau: Two more teachers struck off; sources say one was Lung Cheung Government Secondary School teacher and the other was convicted over anti-extradition bill movement
教育局直至今年 4 月底，合共取消 4 名教師註冊。新增的兩人中，其中一人被指控專業失德投訴成立，消息指為官立中學教師，被指控持續採用大量、單一角度和偏頗立場的材料，「側重貶損國家、挑起學生對國家和中國人民反感」。另一名被「釘牌」教師，當局指因為涉及違法行為、被法庭定罪，繼而被取消註冊。
By the end of April this year, the Education Bureau had cancelled the registration of four teachers in total. Of the two newly added cases, one was found to have committed professional misconduct. Sources said the person was a government secondary school teacher accused of persistently using a large amount of material presenting a single and biased perspective, with an emphasis on “denigrating the country and inciting students’ resentment towards the country and the Chinese people”. The other teacher struck off was deregistered after the authorities said the person had engaged in unlawful acts and was convicted by a court.

Says National Education Must Be Strengthened, Carrie Lam: Without National Consciousness, Even More Policies Would Be Wasted
行政長官到立法會接受質詢，回應議員提問時表示香港國民教育有所缺失是「不爭的事實」，若香港居民——尤其是下一代——沒有國家意識或國民身份認同，即使有大灣區等政策支持也是自費。林鄭月餓稱會由學校做起，9月推出替代通識科的公民及社會發展科，當中三分一課程正是學習「今日中國」。
The Chief Executive attended the Legislative Council to answer questions. In response to lawmakers, she said it was “an indisputable fact” that Hong Kong’s national education had shortcomings, and that even with policy support such as the Greater Bay Area development, efforts would be in vain if Hong Kong residents—especially the next generation—lacked national consciousness or a sense of national identity. Carrie Lam said this would begin with schools, with Citizenship and Social Development replacing Liberal Studies in September; one-third of the curriculum would focus on learning about “today’s China”.
