公經社科官方教材首曝光
The official teaching materials for the Citizenship, Economics and Society subject, which will be fully implemented from September next year, have been revealed for the first time. Some content overlaps with the senior-secondary Citizenship and Social Development subject, including the return process and the Hong Kong National Security Law. One worksheet quotes President Xi Jinping’s “July 1 speech” and requires students to answer what the “Four Musts” and “Four Hopes” are. A veteran teacher said schools would fine-tune the content if curriculum overlaps were found.
To prepare for the subject’s implementation next year, the Education Bureau yesterday released official supporting teaching materials for Forms One and Two. The Form Two unit on “The Governance of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region” covers the return process, the principle of “patriots governing Hong Kong” and the Hong Kong National Security Law, among other topics. Similar to the Form Four curriculum of Citizenship and Social Development, it requires students to answer questions with reference to source materials. One worksheet quotes the State Council’s white paper on “one country, two systems” and requires students to answer that the central authorities “possess the leading power and decision-making power” over the democratic system implemented in Hong Kong.
明年9月起全面推行的「公民、經濟與社會」科,官方教材首次曝光,部分內容與高中公民與社會發展科重複,包括回歸歷程、《香港國安法》等。有工作紙更引用國家主席習近平的「七一講話」,要求學生答出何謂「四個必須」及「四點希望」。有資深教師認為,如發現課程重疊,校方將微調內容。
為配合公經社科明年推行,教育局昨公布該科中一及中二的官方支援教材,屬中二課程的「香港特區的管治」,內容涵蓋回歸歷程、「愛國者治港」原則及《香港國安法》等,與公民科中四課程相似,要求學生參考資料回答問題。有工作紙引用國務院的「一國兩制」白皮書,要求學生作答中央對港實行的民主制度「擁有主導權和決定權」。

恒大研增必修國安「活動」 去年教師流失8%稱移民屬少數
Hang Seng University of Hong Kong held a media tea gathering today. President Ho Shun-man said the university is studying whether to increase compulsory national security education activities, including exhibitions, talks and专题研習 on the Constitution, the Basic Law and the National Security Law, as well as examining ways to integrate them into existing courses. However, they would not be labelled as national security courses. Ho said the university’s teacher turnover rate was 8% last year, similar to the situation at the eight universities but higher than in the previous one or two academic years. He stressed that this was a “natural phenomenon”, saying the main reasons for leaving were non-renewal of contracts and moving to teach at other institutions, and he believed only a small proportion involved emigration.

黃照達稱反修例研究遭報警 浸大否認 黃:觸發辭教席移英 校方:一直護學術自由
Wong Chiu Tat, a former assistant professor at Baptist University’s Academy of Visual Arts and a political cartoonist, said in an interview recently that he wrote a research article in 2021 about the campaign materials that emerged during the anti-extradition bill movement, including the slogan “Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times”. He said senior university officials reported the article to the police, prompting him to resign from his teaching post at Baptist University that year and move to the United Kingdom. He considered the incident to reflect the “decline” of Hong Kong’s academic sector. Baptist University replied to this newspaper yesterday that it had neither reported the matter to the police nor referred it to the relevant authorities, and stressed that it had always safeguarded academic freedom.

教育局批有公民課「僭建課程以外內容」 指校方有責確保科目「不變形走樣」
In its latest Annual Inspection Report, the Education Bureau conducted external evaluations and focused inspections at 169 primary, secondary and special schools. The report criticised many teachers for focusing on imparting knowledge while doing little to raise students’ awareness of potential dangers and national consciousness at an emotional level. It also said that, when promoting Civic and Social Development, the subject that replaced Liberal Studies in senior secondary schools, some schools had not taught it according to the guidelines and had even “added content beyond the curriculum”. The report said schools should implement the curriculum’s aims and expected learning outcomes and ensure that Civic and Social Development was not distorted or deviated from its intended form.
教育局在最新一份《視學周年報告》,於169所中小學及特殊學校進行外評和重點視學。《報告》批評不少教師側重灌輸知識,甚少從情感層面提升學生的憂患意識和國家觀念,又提到有學校推動取代高中通識科的公民與社會發展科時,未有根據指引施教,甚或「僭建課程以外的內容」;《報告》指,學校應貫徹課程的宗旨和預期學習成果,確保公民科「不變形走樣」。

跑會向學生派「香港加油」毛巾 遭校方沒收兼報警
Last month, Tai Po Hong Kong and Kowloon Districts Women’s Association Sun Fong Chung College issued a notice to members of its running team, saying it was collecting “black towels” distributed outside the school by a former teacher without the school’s permission. The towels bore the school’s English abbreviation and “inappropriate wording” and “patterns”, and had been proposed for students to use in competitions. The school said the design might pose legal risks and advised students not to use or publicly display the towels. The person in charge of the running club told The Initium that he was a former teacher at the school and that the towels were farewell gifts for students. He stressed that he had proactively explained the matter to the principal, had never suggested that students use the towels in competitions, and had instead asked them to use them discreetly as keepsakes, but had received no response to date. He believed the words “Hong Kong Add Oil” were not illegal and criticised the school for reporting the matter to the police, thereby placing students in an unjust position.
大埔港九街坊婦女會孫方中書院上月向長跑隊隊員發通告,稱收回一名離職老師在校外派發未經校方允許,印有校名英文簡稱及「不恰當字樣」和「圖案」的「黑色毛巾」,並提議學生在比賽中使用,但圖案可能存在法律風險,建議學生不要使用和公開展出。有關的跑會負責人向《獨媒》表示,他為該校的前教師,毛巾是送給學生的離職禮物。他強調曾主動向校長解釋,未曾建議學生在比賽中使用,反著他們低調使用,當作紀念品,但至今未獲回應。他認為「香港加油」字眼並非違法,批評校方報警反令學生陷於不義。
