《國家安全：學校自評檢視表》更新｜學校須設機制查活動合作組織背景 定期查校網社媒內容
The Education Bureau updated the “National Security: School Self-Evaluation Checklist” yesterday (16th). Covering coordination and planning for national security, monitoring mechanisms, procurement and other areas, the checklist adds more than 40 review items. These include requiring schools to establish a “background-check mechanism” to examine the backgrounds of people and organisations organising activities, suppliers, users of school premises, and outside-school organisations organising overseas activities attended by students, and to assess whether they pose a risk to national security. Schools are also required to regularly review the content of their social media accounts and school websites.
In the 2022/23 school year, the Education Bureau provided schools offering the local curriculum with the “National Security: School Self-Evaluation Checklist” (the “Checklist”) to review their measures for handling national security. The Bureau updated the checklist yesterday, listing 101 items in total. It added a number of measures for safeguarding national security and promoting national education, including whether schools have established review mechanisms to use publicly available information to assess the backgrounds of people or organisations holding activities at schools, users of school premises, suppliers, contractors and others, as well as those organising local and overseas activities, and to examine whether they pose a risk to national security.
教育局昨（16日）更新《國家安全：學校自評檢視表》，內容涵蓋國安的統籌和規劃、監察機制、採購等，新增逾40個檢視項目，當中包括學校須制定「背景審查機制」，審視舉辦活動的人和機構、供應商背景、校舍使用者，以及參加校外組織舉辦的海外活動，有否危害國安。學校亦需定期檢視學校社交媒體內容和校網。

聖保羅書院聯署一日結束 舊生稱與校方交涉後「放棄追落去」 否認被施壓
A Form Five male student at St. Paul’s College died earlier while taking part in a Citizenship and Social Development exchange tour in Hangzhou. The authorities have not disclosed details of the case. Alumni and students launched an online petition calling on the college to provide a public and transparent account of the investigation’s findings. However, one day later, the petition organiser said the school appeared unable to provide any information because of “privacy and the family’s wishes”, and that he would no longer make any demands of the school and would leave matters to fate. The alumnus who initiated the petition told InMediaHK that he had “given up pursuing it”. He said the school had been friendly and had not exerted pressure during their contact, “which is why the statement specifically included encouragement for the teachers”.
一名聖保羅書院中五男學生，早前在杭州參加公社科交流團期間離世，當局未披露個案內容。有舊生及學生發起網上聯署，要求書院公開透明交代事件調查結果，惟聯署發起人在一日後稱，校方似乎因為「私隱及家屬意願」無法提供任何資料，因此將不再向校方作任何要求，各安天命。發起聯署的舊生向《獨媒》表示「已經放棄追落去」，又稱與校方接觸時，校方態度友善，未有施壓，「因此聲明中特意為老師加油」。

聖保羅書院學生杭州交流期間離世 蔡若蓮指調查結束：事件與考察無關
A Secondary 5 male student at St Paul’s College died earlier while taking part in a Citizenship and Social Development exchange tour in Hangzhou, prompting public questions about whether students must participate in mainland study tours or otherwise face the “consequences” previously mentioned by the Education Bureau. Secretary for Education Choi Yuk-lin responded to the incident for the first time today, saying she was saddened by it. She said the investigation had concluded and stressed that the incident was unrelated to the exchange activity or study-tour itinerary. Out of respect for the family’s wishes, she said details of the case would not be disclosed.
The student died earlier while participating in the exchange tour in Hangzhou. The school changed its social media cover image to black last Saturday (1st) and issued a press release on Monday (3rd), saying it was investigating the incident and had activated a crisis-management team, while appealing to the public to give the family space.

學校收「教育局」傳真籲支持移除李小龍銅像 教育局：與局方無關
A social media page cited reports that several schools had received a 12-page fax issued in the name of the Education Bureau, which included an appeal for schools to “support the removal of the black-violence spiritual idol—the Bruce Lee statue—on the Avenue of Stars.” The page said the fax’s cover page bore the heading “Education Bureau 教育局”. The Education Bureau clarified in the evening that the “document” was completely unrelated to it and had notified schools that they need not take notice of it. It said it was concerned about the damage caused to the bureau and the nuisance caused to schools, and was seriously following up on the matter. If any illegal conduct was found to be involved, it would refer the matter to law-enforcement authorities for handling in accordance with the law.
有社交平台專頁引述指，多間學校收到以「教育局」名義發出的傳真文件，12頁內容中有提及呼籲學校「支持移除星光大道上的黑暴精神偶像-李小龍銅像。」專頁稱，該傳真的封面頁抬頭有「教育局Education Bureau」字樣。
教育局晚上澄清指，有關「文件」與局方完全無關，已通知學校無需理會，並關注事件對局方造成損害及對學校造成困擾，正嚴肅跟進，如發現涉及違法行為，將交執法部門依法處理。

DSE地理書印「問題地圖」 內地海關查獲 錯繪國界漏繪南海斷續線 「涉危領土完整」
After mainland customs officers in March tore out a map of China from a Chinese history textbook carried by a cross-border student, mainland customs authorities recently seized 1,000 books at Huanggang Port that were being sent to Hong Kong, saying they contained “problem maps”, including incorrectly drawn national boundaries and omissions of Diaoyu Dao and the South China Sea islands. Online reports said the books involved were high-school geography textbooks published by Hong Kong Education Books Co Ltd. The Education Bureau said yesterday that the book, HKDSE Exam Series Getting 5** in 9 Weeks: Geography, had not been reviewed by the bureau and was not included in its “List of Applicable Textbooks”.
繼3月有跨境生被內地海關撕走中國歷史書的中國地圖後，內地海關總署日前在皇崗口岸查獲1000本送往香港的書，指書籍印有「問題地圖」，包括錯繪國界、漏繪釣魚台及南海諸島等。網傳涉事書籍為香港教育圖書有限公司出版的高中地理科教材。教育局昨日回覆稱，涉事書籍HKDSE Exam Series Getting 5** in 9 Weeks: Geography未經教育局評審，不在局方「適用書目表」內。

為內地學生報考DSE被拒 深圳教育中心指考評局差別對待 獲批司法覆核許可
The Shenzhen International Curriculum Centre applied this year for 62 Mainland students to take the 2025 Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination as private candidates. However, because the centre was unable to provide official proof of its operation as an educational institution, the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority ultimately rejected the applications of 54 students. The other eight successfully applied after meeting other requirements.
The centre filed an application for judicial review in the High Court on Wednesday (6th), saying it had also applied on the students’ behalf to take the 2024 Diploma examination and had been approved. It argued that the HKEAA rejected the 2025 applications despite no change in the application requirements, alleging that the authority had misinterpreted the examination rules and treated candidates differently, and asking the court to quash its decision. The case was dealt with on Thursday (7th), when Judge Ko Ho-man granted leave for judicial review. The hearing is tentatively scheduled for December.
深圳國際課程中心今年為 62 名內地學生，以自修生身分報考 2025 年香港中學文憑試，但因中心未能提供官方辦學證明，最終 54 名學生被考評局拒絕報名，另 8 人因符合其他條件，成功報考。
該中心周三（6 日）入稟高等法院申請司法覆核，指中心亦曾代為報考 2024 年文憑試並獲批，然而考評局在報考條件沒有改變下，拒絕 2025 年的報考申請，認為考評局錯誤理解考試規則、差別對待考生，要求法庭推翻考評局的決定。案件周四（7 日）處理，法官高浩文批出司法覆核許可，暫定於 12 月聆訊。

被問性教材事件 湯家驊：好小事、不影響國際對本港教育觀感
Path of Democracy yesterday released its latest One Country, Two Systems Index survey. The proportion of Hong Kong residents who expressed confidence in the education system rose by 6.5 percentage points to 45.6%. A reporter asked about the Education Bureau’s Secondary 3 Citizenship, Economics and Society teaching materials, which advocate playing badminton to curb sexual urges as part of sex education. Path of Democracy convener Ronny Tong said it was an isolated incident and might not affect perceptions of the education system as a whole. “I think it is an isolated incident. It is worth our reference, but it may not necessarily represent a basis for changing the overall assessment. Personally, I think we have room to see whether there will be changes in this respect going forward, whether in terms of performance or public evaluation.”
民主思路昨日公布新一期「一國兩制」指數調查，其中本港市民對教育制度「有信心」的比例上升6.5個百比點至45.6%。有記者問及教育局的中三公經社科教材中，性教育中倡「打羽毛球」遏止性衝動一事。民主思路召集人湯家驊認為屬單一事件，未必會影響對整體教育制度的觀感。「我覺得單一事件，係值得我哋參考，但未必代表一個整體嘅評價改變嘅基礎，我自己個人覺得我哋有空間睇睇嚟緊會唔會係呢方面，無論喺表現上或市民評價方面會有所變化。」

學校行政手冊更新 圖書館藏「或危國安」應即除
In recent years, the Education Bureau has encouraged schools to strengthen national security awareness. It wrote to schools yesterday to remind them that the School Administration Manual had been updated. A comparison of the new and old versions showed that the bureau had long required school library heads to review their collections. The new content states that if materials and content involving serious offences, inappropriate moral or ethical standards, possible illegality, or anything that may endanger or be detrimental to national security are found, “they should immediately be removed or taken out of use to avoid having a negative impact on students.”
教育局近年鼓勵學校加強國家安全意識，昨日致函學校提醒《學校行政手冊》已更新。比對新舊版本，局方一直要求學校圖書館主任檢視館藏等，新增內容提出，如發現涉嚴重罪行、道德倫理不當、有可能違法或含危害和不利國安的資料和內容，「理應馬上將它們移除或停止使用，以免對學生產生壞影響」。
