中史考大躍進、公社效果 考評局：多未答正面作用 教師料盼訓練多角度思考 非為「洗白」
This year’s Chinese History and History papers in the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination (DSE) both included questions on China before reform and opening-up. One Chinese History question required candidates to analyse the “effects” of the Great Leap Forward and the People’s Commune Movement. The Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority said in the Question Compilation published yesterday that most candidates had failed to grasp what the question was asking. In line with the question requirements, candidates had to analyse both the positive and negative aspects, but many failed to identify the positive effects of the two movements. A Chinese History teacher said that, based on the historical facts, the Great Leap Forward did indeed have more negative effects, so it was understandable that candidates focused on the negative aspects. The teacher believed the HKEAA was seeking to use the question to train students to think from multiple perspectives, rather than to “whitewash” the Great Leap Forward.
今年中學文憑試（DSE）中史科及歷史科均有題目考問中國改革開放前情况，其中中史科有題目要求考生分析「大躍進」和「人民公社化」運動的「效果」。考評局昨日出版《試題專輯》指出，大部分考生未能掌握該題所問，按題旨，考生須從正負兩邊分析，惟不少考生未能寫出兩場運動的正面效果。有中史科教師認為，按史實「大躍進」的負面影響確實較多，考生側重寫負面可以理解，料考評局盼以該題訓練學生「多角度思考」，不認為是為大躍進「洗白」。

沙田官小家長發起聯署 促撤回校內測考可用簡體字
Shatin Government Primary School’s decision to allow students to answer school tests and examinations in simplified Chinese has sparked major controversy. A group of parents launched a petition, arguing that the arrangement is unfair to local students and expressing dissatisfaction that the school introduced it without consultation. They are demanding the withdrawal of the new assessment standard. As of the afternoon of 7 November, the petition had received 320 signatures.
The reply slip only provided an option to support the school. On Monday, 3 November, Shatin Government Primary School issued a notice to parents saying that, to provide a more accommodating assessment environment for students from mainland backgrounds or those accustomed to using simplified Chinese, and to allow local students to become familiar with the two Chinese writing systems, it would follow the public examination guidelines of the Education Bureau and the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority. Students in Primary 2 to Primary 6 would therefore be allowed to answer school tests and examinations using standard simplified Chinese characters. The school stressed, however, that traditional Chinese characters remained the mainstream writing standard and that the curriculum would continue to use traditional Chinese characters as its main teaching content.
沙田官立小學容許校內測驗及考試使用簡體字作答一事，引起極大爭議。有家長發起聯署，認為做法對本地生不公，更不滿校方零諮詢下推行，要求撤回新評分標準，截至今日（11月7日）下午已獲320個簽名。
回條只設支持學校選項
沙田官立小學周一（11月3日）向家長發通告，指為內地背景或習慣使用簡體字的學生提供更友善評核環境，並讓本地學生認識兩種中文書寫體系，故參照教育局及考評局公開考試指引，允許二至六年級學生在校內測驗及考試使用正規簡體字作答，但強調繁體字仍是主流書寫標準，課程亦繼續沿用繁體字為主要教學內容。

沙田官小准用簡體字應考︱梁振英指不同背景學生都應學繁體字：「教不嚴，師之惰」
Sha Tin Government Primary School’s decision to allow students to answer internal tests and examinations in simplified Chinese has sparked controversy. Former Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying responded on social media today (the 6th), saying, “Students’ progress and results in learning traditional Chinese are one matter; a school giving up the requirement and abandoning its responsibility to teach is another.” He said that the traditional Chinese characters retained in Hong Kong, Cantonese and a high level of English proficiency are all characteristics of Hong Kong, and considered them necessary. He ultimately described the incident as “If teaching is not strict, it is the teacher’s negligence.”
Asking, “Why not make an effort to learn traditional Chinese?”
Leung said he understood that students from mainland backgrounds or who were accustomed to using simplified Chinese might not initially be used to traditional Chinese after coming to Hong Kong. However, Hong Kong is an SAR that uses traditional Chinese, and he asked, “Why not make an effort to learn traditional Chinese? If you work in Hong Kong in the future, can you do without traditional Chinese?” He stressed that traditional Chinese is used in government documents, foreign-funded, mainland-funded and Hong Kong-funded companies, newspapers and books, as well as in the documents of students from the mainland who come to Hong Kong.
沙田官立小學允許學生在校內測驗及考試使用簡體字作答引起爭議，前行政長官梁振英今日（6 日）在社交平台發文回應，指「學生學習繁體字的進度和成績是一碼事，學校放棄要求，放棄教的責任是另外一碼事。」他又指，香港保留的繁體字、粵語和高水平的英語能力，都是香港的特色，認為是有必要，最後更以「教不嚴，師之惰」形容事件。
反問「為什麼不努力學繁體字？」
梁振英表示，理解有「內地背景或習慣使用簡體字的學生」初來香港未必習慣繁體字，但香港是使用繁體字的特區，反問「為什麼不努力學繁體字？日後在香港工作，可以不用繁體字嗎？」他強調，香港在政府公文、外資中資港資企業、報刊書籍，還有內地來港的學生在香港的證件，無一不用繁體字。

教育局向大專院校施壓阻學者赴台出席中研院香港研討會 《教育刺針》：局方一劍封喉
Pulse HK reported last week that a political commentary article in Eastweek had pressured Hong Kong scholars by “calling on” them to decisively refuse to attend an international conference on Hong Kong to be held by Taiwan’s Academia Sinica in early December. The education news platform Education Sting received a tip alleging that the Hong Kong Education Bureau had also actively intervened by contacting tertiary institutions to prevent local scholars from travelling to the conference. Hans Yeung Wing-yu, the platform’s founder, said the Education Bureau’s “open and explicit” intervention this time amounted to “a fatal blow”, signalling that similar incidents must not happen again and that academic freedom would decline further.
Academia Sinica’s Hong Kong Studies group will hold the third “Hong Kong Studies Going Global” international conference on 4 and 5 December. In a post yesterday (28th), Education Sting said it had received exclusive and reliable information that the Education Bureau had contacted local tertiary institutions and directly pressured Hong Kong-based scholars who had already registered to attend, in an effort to stop them from going to the conference.
Hong Kong’s eight publicly funded universities have traditionally been regulated and funded by the University Grants Committee (UGC). However, Education Sting quoted a source as saying that the Education Bureau had taken the initiative this time and, after obtaining information including the participating scholars and their paper topics, directly pressured the institutions. According to Pulse HK, at least five scholars from Hong Kong are scheduled to present papers, including Ma Ngok of The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
《追光者》上周曾報道，《東周刊》有政論文章向香港學者施壓「呼籲」要果斷拒絕出席台灣中央研究院（中研院）將於12月初舉辦的香港相關國際研討會。教育新聞平台《教育刺針》收到爆料，指香港教育局亦積極干預，聯繫大專院校阻止本港學者前往。《教育刺針》創辦人楊穎宇認為，這次教育局「開宗明義」出手算是「一劍封喉」，代表不可再發生類似事件，亦意味學術自由會進一步下降。
台灣中研院「香港研究」小組，將於12月4至5日舉行第三屆「香港研究走向全球」國際研討會，《教育刺針》昨（28日）發文稱獲得獨家可靠消息，教育局聯繫本地大專院校，直接向已報名參加會議的在港學者施壓，阻止他們出席會議。
香港八間資助大學一向都是由大學教育資助委員會（UGC）規管及撥款。不過，《教育刺針》引述報料人透露，教育局今次主動出手，在掌握有關出席學者及論文題目等資訊後，直接向院校施壓。據《追光者》了解，來自香港並將會發表論文的學者至少有5位，包括中文大學的馬嶽。

中學辦交流團雲端收集學生回鄉證疑泄個資 教育局要求校方交報告
A secondary school has been accused of mishandling students’ personal data, potentially compromising their privacy. Students at Lok Sin Tong Leung Kau Kui College in Sai Ying Pun recently posted on social media alleging that, while preparing for a mainland exchange trip, the school required them to upload their Home Return Permit information to Google Drive. However, appropriate access restrictions had not been set, allegedly allowing anyone with a school account to view and download the students’ personal data without authorisation, raising concerns that the privacy of the students concerned had been compromised.
The school responded in a notice to parents yesterday (22nd), saying that after learning of the incident, it immediately instructed the class teachers of the relevant classes to cancel the cloud-drive link and delete all uploaded copies of identity documents. It also said that a comprehensive investigation had confirmed that no copies of students’ identity documents had been found to have been leaked.
The Education Bureau said it had contacted the school immediately regarding the incident and followed up in accordance with established procedures, including requiring the school to submit a written report to the bureau explaining the incident. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data said it had launched an investigation in accordance with established procedures.
有中學被指不當處理學生個人資料，恐令學生私隱外泄。近日有西營盤樂善堂梁銶琚書院學生在社交平台發文，指控學校在預備學生到內地交流團時，要求學生將回鄉證資料上傳至Google Drive雲端硬碟，但未設定合適權限限制，導致任何持有學校帳戶者可在未經授權下，查閱及下載學生的個人資料，擔心相關學生的私隱因而外泄。
校方昨日（22日）向家長發通告回應事件，稱得知事件後，已即時指示相關班別的班主任取消雲端硬碟連結，並刪除所有已上載的證件副本檔案，又指經全面調查確認，未發現學生證件副本外泄的情況。
教育局指，已就事件即時聯絡學校，並按既定程序作出跟進，包括要求學校向教育局提交書面報告交代事件。私隱專員公署則指，已根據既定程序展開調查。

成員曾辦學生會 屬會註冊嶺大未批 編委會引消息質疑設黑名單 校方：按程序處理
Lingnan University required student groups this year to apply for registration with the Office of Student Affairs (OSA) by mid-July. A review of the university’s website found that at least 18 student groups had successfully registered, including the Basic Law Society and the Mainland Students and Scholars Association. The Lingnan University Students’ Union editorial board issued a statement the day before yesterday (20th), citing campus sources questioning whether the university had established a “blacklist” to “block” registration applications from groups proposed by people who had participated in the Students’ Union. A Lingnan student told this newspaper yesterday that their affiliated club had submitted an application in July but had still not received approval. The student believed registration had been obstructed because of their previous participation in a Students’ Union organisation, and had now withdrawn from the club in the hope that the university would approve its registration.
Lingnan University said yesterday that “all departments are handling matters according to established procedures”. It did not directly respond to this newspaper’s enquiries about whether a “blacklist” existed, or the reasons and criteria for compiling such a list. The university reiterated that the Students’ Union was an external organisation and had not been authorised to conduct any activities at the university.
In April, Lingnan University announced that student groups formed in the university’s name during the current academic year had to complete the registration process by 13 July.
The Lingnan University Students’ Union editorial board said in an Instagram post the day before yesterday that some student organisations which had previously operated under the Students’ Union and were still operating—including the Drama Society, Music Society, Philosophy Department Association and Translation Department Association—did not appear on the list of successfully registered groups. editorial board said some student organisations had applied to the university for registration before the deadline but had not received a response.
嶺南大學今年要求學生團體7月中前須向學生事務處（OSA）申請註冊。翻查嶺大網頁，校方公告至少18個學生團體成功註冊，包括基本法學會、內地學生學者聯誼會等。嶺大學生會編委會前日（20日）發文，引述校內消息質疑校方設「黑名單」，「封殺」曾參與學生會者所提出的團體註冊申請。有嶺大生昨向本報稱，其屬會7月已交申請至今未獲批，料因自己曾參與學生會組織而註冊受阻滯，現已退出屬會，盼校方批准該會註冊。
嶺大昨稱「各部門均按既定程序處理」。至於本報查詢「黑名單」是否屬實、編名單原因及標準等，未獲正面回應。嶺大重申學生會為外部組織，未獲授權於大學進行任何活動。
嶺大今年4月公布，今學年以嶺大名義組成的學生團體須於7月13日前完成註冊程序。
嶺大學生會編委會前日在Instagram發文稱，部分以往在學生會轄下運作的學生組織並持續運行中的組織，如戲劇學會、音樂學會、哲學系系會及翻譯系系會等，均未見於已成功註冊的名單。編委會稱部分學生組織限期前已向校方申請註冊，至今未獲回覆。

中大揭過百宗懷疑假學歷申請 梁振英質疑有無漏網之魚：香港這鍋粥就這樣壞了
Leung Chun-ying, vice-chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, who has been keen to comment on current affairs since stepping down as chief executive, has again spoken out about students using fake academic qualifications to apply to Hong Kong universities. He said such falsification affects Hong Kong’s reputation and credibility nationwide and internationally, and that the issue of forged documents must be dealt with seriously.
The Chinese University of Hong Kong admitted nearly 900 non-local students in the current academic year. During the application process, it intercepted hundreds of suspected fake-qualification applications, a sharp increase from last year. Wong Ka-chit, director of the university’s Admissions and Student Financial Aid Office, stressed that the university was very cautious in handling such cases and would not consider an application if there were any doubts. Wong said the applicants were all outside Hong Kong and were not Hong Kong residents, so he believed it would also be difficult for police to enforce the law; consequently, the university did not report the cases to police after intercepting them.
卸任特首後熱衷評論時政的全國政協副主席梁振英，再次就學生以假學歷報讀本港大學發聲。他認為，學生造假影響香港在全國乃至在國際社會的聲譽和可信度，必須嚴肅處理假文書問題。
香港中文大學今個學年錄取近 900 名非本地生，在處理申請期間共堵截數百宗懷疑假學歷申請，比去年急增。中大入學及學生資助處處長王家徹強調，大學在處理相關個案時十分謹慎，如有懷疑都不會考慮。王又稱申請人均不在港及非香港居民，相信警方也難以執法，故在堵截後未有報警。

假學歷報大學｜港大接獲數百宗疑持假學歷入讀申請 無個案獲錄取
Hong Kong universities recently saw multiple cases involving non-local students suspected of applying for admission with “fake academic qualifications”. Following the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the University of Hong Kong said today (13th) that it had also received hundreds of cases in the current academic year involving non-local students suspected of applying for admission with false academic qualifications. None of the relevant applicants received offers of admission.
本港大學早前爆出多宗非本地生涉嫌以「假學歷」申請入學的事件。繼中文大學後，香港大學今日（13日）表示，校方在本學年亦接獲數百宗懷疑憑虛假學歷申請入讀的非本地生個案，當中並沒有相關個案獲得錄取通知。

當選中大校友校董譚天樂：盼跟進選舉DQ問題
The results of the election for an alumni representative to the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Council were announced yesterday. Of the more than 252,000 eligible voters, 1,114 cast ballots, exceeding the specified minimum threshold of 1,000 voters, for a turnout of 0.44%. Timothy Tin Lok Tam, chair of the Board of Directors of the CUHK Alumni Association Federation Education Foundation, was elected with 688 votes, while the other candidate, Barbara Pik Lin Kwok, founding president of the CUHK Greater Bay Area Alumni Association, lost with 426 votes. Timothy Tin Lok Tam told this newspaper that they were “happy” with the result, but also considered that “the responsibility is heavy and the road ahead is long”. After being elected, they hoped first to follow up on issues concerning restrictions on publicity during the election and the disqualification (DQ) of a candidate.
The CUHK alumni trustee election was repeatedly embroiled in controversy before polling. These included a prospective CUHK alumni candidate being disqualified on the grounds of lacking a record of “good service to CUHK”. In addition, an official WeChat post by CUHK (Shenzhen) promoted only Barbara Pik Lin Kwok and did not mention Timothy Tin Lok Tam, prompting alumni to question whether this was unfair; the post was subsequently removed. Some CUHK alumni also said in recent days that the election had introduced new rules prohibiting candidates from promoting themselves online. In an earlier response, CUHK only said that candidates could promote their campaigns on multiple election platforms provided by the university.
香港中文大學校董會校友評議會成員選舉昨公布結果，逾25.2萬名合資格投票人中，有1114人投票，超過最少1000人投票的指定門檻，投票率0.44%。當中「中大校友會聯會教育基金會董事會」主席譚天樂獲688票當選，另一候選人「香港中文大學粵港澳大灣區校友會」創會會長郭碧蓮以426票落敗。譚天樂回覆本報稱對結果「開心」，同時認為「任重道遠」，當選後冀先跟進是次選舉宣傳受限及有參選人被取消資格（DQ）的問題。
今次中大校友校董選舉於選前屢傳爭議，包括有擬參選的中大校友被以欠缺「良好服務中大」紀錄為由DQ。另中大（深圳）官方微信有帖文只宣傳郭碧蓮，但未提譚天樂，被校友質疑是否不公平，而帖文早前下架。亦有中大校友日前稱，今次選舉設新規則禁止候選人自行在網絡宣傳，中大早前回覆時僅稱候選人可在校方多個選舉平台宣傳競選。

封殺莊梅岩｜中大「未能提供場地」 講座「被取消」 中大：設施使用如常，沒補充
Playwright Candace Chong wrote earlier this month alleging that she had been “blacklisted” by the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and West Kowloon. The Office of Arts Administration under The Chinese University of Hong Kong had scheduled a talk by Chong at the Shaw College Hall on 20 October, with registration for members of the public and alumni opening in early September. The office suddenly announced on its website today (26 September) that the talk had been “cancelled because the university was unable to provide a venue for the event”, and apologised for the inconvenience caused to registered attendees, asking for their understanding.
《集誌社》 asked CUHK why it was unable to provide a venue and whether this was related to Chong’s earlier allegation that she had been “blacklisted”. CUHK replied in the evening in 40 Chinese characters: “The university was unable to provide a venue for this event. CUHK’s current policy and operation regarding the use of campus facilities remain unchanged. There is no further comment.” Chong wrote on Facebook that evening that the problem with Hong Kong’s current management was ignorance, mediocrity and cowardice: “They don’t know what they are harming, they don’t know what they are destroying, and they don’t know what they are afraid of.”
劇作家莊梅岩月初發文，揭被演藝、康文署、西九等「封殺」。中文大學轄下藝術行政主任辦公室（下稱辦公室），原定於 10 月 20 日在中大邵逸夫堂舉辦莊梅岩講座，早在 9 月初開放予公眾人士和校友登記。辦公室今（26日）突然在網站公布，講座「因校方未能就是次活動提供場地」而取消，又指對已登記觀眾造成不便深感抱歉，敬請體諒。
《集誌社》向中文大學查詢，為何未能提供場地？與早前莊梅岩指「被封殺」是否有關等等？中大晚上以 40 字回覆指，「未能就是次活動提供場地。中大現行的校內設施使用政策及運作如常，沒有其他補充」。莊梅岩晚上在 Facebook 發文指現時香港管理層問題是無知、平庸同懦弱，「佢哋唔知自己傷害緊啲乜、唔知自己破壞緊啲乜、唔知自己怕緊啲乜」。
