教育局近年力推國民及國安教育，上月向全港中小學發信，強烈建議在新學年規劃國民教育學習活動。根據最新出版的《小學概覽2022》，不少學校列出國民及國安教育相關活動，如組織內地交流團及舉辦「國慶日」網上問答比賽，其中九龍塘宣道小學特別為五年級學生設「國內生活體驗之旅」，稱「讓學生對貧窮地區之學童生活有較深刻的體會」。據《獨媒》統計，全港逾500間小學中，有至少59校設升旗隊。
The Education Bureau has in recent years promoted national and national security education. Last month, it wrote to primary and secondary schools across Hong Kong, strongly recommending that they plan national education learning activities for the new school year. According to the recently published Primary School Profiles 2022, many schools listed activities related to national and national security education, including organising mainland exchange tours and holding online quizzes for National Day. Kowloon Tong Alliance Primary School specially arranged a “mainland life experience tour” for Primary Five students, saying it would “allow students to gain a deeper understanding of the lives of children in impoverished areas”. InMedia’s statistics showed that at least 59 of more than 500 primary schools in Hong Kong had flag-raising teams.

Education Bureau Publishes “Correct” View of History, Says 1 July 1997 Was Not a “Transfer of Sovereignty”
港府早前改革中學課程，以「公民與社會發展科」取代通識科，教科書內容亦改頭換面，在香港歷史部分，明確表示香港不曾是英國殖民地，引起爭議。教育局今在網頁上載文章，闡述官方版本的歷史，指1997年7月1日的儀式不是「主權移交」，而是「政權交接」。局方又稱，說香港不是英國「殖民地」，並非否認香港曾被英國佔領的歷史，只是強調使用「殖民地」一詞不恰當。全文1,500字的文章，只得中文版本。
The Hong Kong government earlier reformed the secondary-school curriculum, replacing Liberal Studies with Citizenship and Social Development, while textbook content was also substantially revised. In sections on Hong Kong history, the textbooks explicitly state that Hong Kong was never a British colony, sparking controversy. The Education Bureau today uploaded an article to its website setting out the official version of history, saying the ceremony on 1 July 1997 was not a “transfer of sovereignty” but a “changeover of political power”. The bureau also said that stating Hong Kong was not a British “colony” did not deny its history of being occupied by Britain, but emphasised that the term “colony” was inappropriate. The 1,500-word article is available only in Chinese.
