DSE首設公民科 94.1%日校考生達標 考評局：不應與通識科比較
The Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination results will be released tomorrow morning. This year, 18,314 day school candidates achieved the minimum university admission requirement of “332A”, accounting for 45% of all day school candidates and representing a 2.6 percentage-point increase from last year. This was the first year that Civic and Social Development was examined, and 94.1% of day school candidates achieved a result meeting the standard. Reporters questioned whether the high rate could give the impression that candidates could pass the subject without studying much, and whether it could lead other overseas universities not to recognise it. Choi Siu-kwan, the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority’s Head of Assessment Development, said Civic and Social Development should not be compared with Liberal Studies because the curricula, lesson time, assessment models, grading and reporting systems were very different.
中學文憑試明早放榜，今年共有18,314名日校考生考獲大學入學最低要求，即「332A」，佔整體日校考生45%，較去年上升2.6%。今年是首屆公民與社會發展科考試，當中高達94.1%日校考生取得達標成績。記者質疑，高達標率會否予人「考生唔使點溫書都考到呢科」、「咁高達標率令到其他海外大學唔認可呢一科」。考評局評核發展主管蔡筱坤稱，不應將公社科與通識科作比較：「因為畢竟課程、課時，考核嘅模式，同埋評級、匯報制度係兩個非常之唔同。」

浸大學生會｜議決獲通過 解散程序啟動 56年歷史或告終
The Hong Kong Baptist University Students’ Union, established 56 years ago, may become a thing of the past. The union held a joint meeting on campus tonight (the 8th), where a resolution to dissolve the Students’ Union was passed. The proposal still requires a vote by members. Established in 1968, the union is now facing its final chapter. Following the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, it is the third university students’ union to face dissolution.
成立 56 年的浸會大學學生會或將成歷史。浸大學生會今（8 日）晚在校內舉行聯席會議，議決通過，解散學生會議案，之後仍要經過會員投票。該會 1968 年成立，現走向終章。繼中大和理大後，浸大學生會成第三間，面臨解散的學生會。

港大職員阻畢業生展示反猶太復國主義標語 稱希望現場大家都舒
The University of Hong Kong held a graduation ceremony for the Faculty of Business and Economics today. After the ceremony, a graduating student stood outside the venue holding signs reading “Zionism contains Jewish supremacism” and “equals Nazism”, and shouted about the history and details of terrorist attacks planned by Zionists in the 20th century. The student was stopped by security after one and a half minutes.

假學歷風波｜港大經管學院逾 30 名內地生學歷造假 警拘兩內地女子
HKU Business School discovered in May this year that mainland master’s students had used forged academic qualifications to gain admission. The school launched a comprehensive investigation and reported the matter to police. More than a month later, mainland media outlet Caixin reported an interview with the school’s dean, Cai Hongbin, who said an investigation had found that more than 30 students had submitted forged academic documents. All the students involved were Chinese nationals, and the incident was ultimately expected to involve 80 to 100 students. The report also said similar cases had been found at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Hong Kong Metropolitan University, among others. Cai said the impact of forged qualifications on universities “should be very extensive”.
The school responded to an inquiry from The Collective on the same evening in a reply of more than 2,000 Chinese characters, describing how the fraud was uncovered and the investigation process. It said that, during a review, the university had conducted spot checks on more than 1,500 academic qualification documents but had not detected the fraud. The school found that the content and methods used in the submission of the suspected qualifications were sufficiently convincing to pass as genuine. It said cancelling students’ enrolment would not deter “black-market intermediaries” or students’ parents, and therefore conducted a thorough investigation to “expose the dark side of the industrial chain in which illegal intermediaries manufacture forged academic qualifications”, enabling potential customers to consider that “what they obtain is not a diploma from HKU, but possibly a criminal record, or even imprisonment”. The school also analysed the intermediaries’ practice of handling everything while deceiving both parties, hoping that its findings could be made public so other Hong Kong universities could identify and address gaps in their admissions procedures.
The Collective asked eight publicly funded universities, Hong Kong Metropolitan University and Hang Seng University of Hong Kong whether they had investigated forged academic qualifications and found any cases. Several universities did not respond directly, merely reiterating that they had rigorous procedures for verifying information. Police said they had arrested two mainland women, aged 24 and 34, on suspicion of using false instruments and making false representations to Immigration Department officers.
香港大學經管學院今年 5 月爆出有內地碩士生用假學歷入學，學院展開全面徹底及報警；事隔個多月，內地《財新網》今報道學院院長蔡洪濱訪問，稱調查後發現約 30 多名學生提交假學歷文件，涉案學生全為中國籍，又預料事件最終或涉及 80 至 100 名學生。報道又指據了解，中大、理大、都大等均發現類似個案，蔡表示假學歷影響院校「應該是很廣」。
經管學院晚上回覆《集誌社》查詢，全長逾 2000 字，講述揭發造假經過及調查過程。回覆指校方在複查中抽查逾1500份學歷材料，未能發現造假，學院發現存嫌疑學歷遞交內容和手法足以以假亂真。學院認為取消學生學籍對「黑中介」及學生家長無法起震懾作用，故進行徹查「曝光不法中介製造假學歷的產業鏈黑暗面」，讓潛在客戶思考「得到的不是港大的文憑，而可能是一個犯罪記錄，甚至是牢獄之災」。學院又分析中介「一手包辦兩頭欺瞞」做法，望總結公開以便香港其他大學在招生環節能查漏補缺。
《集誌社》向八間資助大學、私立的都會大學和恆生大學查詢，曾否就假學歷進行調查及發現個案；多間大學回覆時未有直接回應，僅重申設嚴謹程序查核資料。警方回覆指就事件拘捕兩名 24 歲和 34 歲內地女子，涉嫌「行使虛假文書」及「向入境事務處人員作虛假申述」。

港大有學生指於民主牆貼反錫安主義海報時遭保安截查
A student told this newspaper that they were stopped by security while posting four anti-Zionist posters outside the Main Library’s Democracy Wall yesterday evening (June 29). Zionism is also known as Jewish nationalism. The security guard said that items could not be posted there. The student explained that they had followed the rules by writing a student number and posting date on the posters, but the guard replied that the area was managed by the university and prior application was required, and that posted materials could not contain political or defamatory content. The guard then called more security personnel and university staff, who recorded the student’s name, student number, telephone number and department. During this time, security personnel at one point attempted to prevent passers-by from gathering to watch. The student said the student number written on the posters did not belong to them; security noticed and pointed this out at the time but took no immediate action. When the student returned about an hour later, the four posters were no longer there.
有同學向本報透露，昨（6 月 29 日）傍晚於圖書館總館外民主牆張貼四張反錫安主義（錫安主義又稱猶太復國主義）海報期間被保安喝止，該保安稱不可以於該處張貼物品；同學向保安解釋有跟從規則寫上學生編號及張貼日期；保安回覆表示該處由校方管理，須先申請方可張貼，張貼品亦不能含有政治、誹謗等內容；保安其後召來更多保安人員及校方人員，記錄該同學姓名、學生編號、電話號碼及學系，其間保安人員一度嘗試阻止途人圍觀。該同學指，海報上所寫的學生編號不屬於自己，保安當時有發現並指出，但未有即時採取行動；約一小時後返回時，四張海報已不復見。

教育局促 3 校改善唱國歌 學生被指聲線細弱 中度智障學校安排學生看「中國英雄」短片
The Education Bureau began uploading external school evaluation reports last month. One primary school’s report said students’ voices were relatively weak when singing the national anthem. Education Secretary Christine Choi said in an interview that vocal volume reflected emotion and engagement, adding that people would not even sing quietly at karaoke, prompting widespread discussion in the education sector. Last week, the Bureau released the second batch of external evaluation reports covering 10 schools. Three more primary and secondary schools were criticised for needing to improve students’ vocal volume or attitude when singing the national anthem, and were told to provide reminders. Separately, a special school serving students with moderate intellectual disabilities arranged for students to watch “Chinese Heroes” short videos during the lunch break to foster a sense of national identity.
教育局上月開始上載「校外評核報告」，有小學的評核報告中被指學生唱國歌時聲線較弱，教育局局長蔡若蓮曾受訪指，聲線反映情感及投入感，又稱唱卡啦 OK 都不會細聲唱，引起教育界熱議。局方上周最新公布第二批 10 間學校的校外評核報告，再有 3 間中小學被指要改善唱國歌時的聲線或態度，指示校方應加以提點。此外，一間服務中度智障學童的特殊學校，安排學生午休時段觀看「中國英雄」短片，以培育國民身分認同。

浸大學生會被鎖會室 校方稱因管理不善、計劃實施預約制
The Baptist University Students’ Union said yesterday that the university had recently locked its old campus union room, citing anonymous complaint letters. The union criticised the move as seriously disrupting its operations and indirectly undermining student self-governance. The post was deleted today.
In response to an enquiry from The Independent Media, the university said it had found poor management of one of the meeting rooms managed by the Students’ Union, which had previously been used for activities unrelated to union affairs. To improve the situation, the university plans to introduce a reservation system, following the common practice for other campus venues and facilities. The Students’ Union will be given priority to reserve the meeting room in future. The room will remain closed before the system is implemented, and the university will maintain communication with students.
浸大學生會昨日稱，近日校方以收到匿名投訴信為由，鎖上其舊校會室。學生會批評，校方做法嚴重干擾會方運作，間接損害學生自治。不過，有關帖文今日已經刪除。
浸大校方回覆《獨媒》查詢稱，發現由學生會管理的其中一個會議室出現管理不善的情況，過去曾被用作與會務無關的活動；為改善情況，校方計劃參考校園其他場地和設施的普遍做法，實施預約制度，學生會日後可優先預約使用該會議室。在制度實施前，會室暫停開放，校方會與學生保持溝通。

教聯會調查：近六成教師指愛國教育人手不足 倡設「愛國教育統籌主任」
A survey conducted earlier by the Hong Kong Federation of Education Workers found that more than 80% of education workers had organised “Chinese cultural experience activities”, while nearly 60% of teachers said they felt there was insufficient manpower when implementing patriotic education. Hong Kong deputy to the National People’s Congress and HKFEW chair Kam Leung (1976-08) Wong again proposed that schools establish “patriotic education coordinator” posts to handle the related work and thereby ease the pressure on other teachers. However, Kam Leung (1976-08) Wong also acknowledged that many schools had been unable to create such posts because of limited resources.
教聯會早前進行調查，發現逾八成教育工作者曾舉辦「中華文化體驗活動」，近六成教師指在推行愛國主義教育時感到人手不足。港區全國人大代表、教聯會主席黃錦良再次建議，學校應設立「愛國教育統籌主任」職位，以應對相關工作，從而減輕其他教師壓力。不過，黃錦良亦承認，不少學校由於資源所限，未能開設相關職位。

油尖旺學校愛國教育 有小學辦小一生百日宴向父母遞茶水
The Patriotic Education Task Force was established earlier. Today, the Yau Tsim Mong branch of the Democratic Alliance for Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong, together with the Yau Tsim Mong Principals’ Association and others, held an exchange meeting with National People’s Congress Standing Committee member and Patriotic Education Task Force convenor Starry Lee and others. A primary school principal said emotional education should be strengthened and shared that the school had held a “100-day celebration” for new Primary One pupils, during which the pupils served tea to their parents to show filial respect and wrote cards expressing their affection. Many parents praised the activity.
The Patriotic Education Task Force earlier set the goal of making patriotism and love for Hong Kong core values of Hong Kong, and of putting the spirit of patriotism firmly into Hong Kong society and people’s hearts. Its main work focuses on four areas: school education, local communities, history, politics and culture, and media publicity.
愛國主義教育工作小組早前成立，民建聯油尖旺支部今日聯同油尖旺區校長會等，與全國人大常委、愛國主義教育工作小組組長李慧琼等人交流會面。有小學校長表示要加強情感教育，並分享曾為小一入學新生辦「百日宴」，由學生遞上茶水孝敬父母、寫心意卡表達愛意，有不少家長讚活動好。
愛國主義教育工作小組早前已訂立目標，希望令愛國愛港成為香港的核心價值，讓愛國精神扎根香港社會，深入民心。工作小組以四大範疇包括學校教育、本地社區、歷史政經文化及傳媒宣傳為重心工作。

港大校政風波｜校委會反駁任命副校「加強管治」張翔知情 批張治下管理問題頻生 委任「別無選擇」非私怨
The governance row at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) has intensified. The HKU Council, led by Wang Pui-sze, has been accused of bypassing President Zhang Xiang to appoint five acting vice-presidents. After days of public exchanges between the two sides, the Council issued a statement today (10th), saying the appointments were “to strengthen governance, lawful and compliant, and known to the president”. It criticised Zhang for leaving vice-president posts vacant for years after taking office in 2018, resulting in the university having no complete management team and frequent management problems. It cited, among other things, inadequate records of meetings convened and attended by Zhang, which it said had led to various forms of disorder at the university. It also said that “many professors and management staff have numerous grievances”, and reiterated that the appointments were a collective decision made “with no alternative” in the interests of HKU, rather than the “personal grudge” alleged in rumours.
港大校政風波愈演愈烈，王沛詩主事的港大校委會，被指繞過校長張翔暫委5名副校長，兩方隔空交鋒多日，校委會今日（10日）再就事件發表聲明，指委任副校長為「加強管治，合法合規，校長知情」，批評張翔2018年上任後副校長職位懸空多年，沒有完整的管理團隊，管理問題頻出，舉例指張翔召開及出席會議紀錄欠佳，令大學出現種種混亂，直言「不少教授和管理人員怨言甚多」，重申是次委任是「別無選擇下」、為港大利益做出的集體決定，並非傳言中的「私人恩怨」。
