官校率先推聯校國教 辦中式步操訓練比賽、參觀愛國教育支援中心
Following the earlier compilation of an annual calendar of national education activities for all primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong, the Education Bureau is moving swiftly to implement the Policy Address announcement to first roll out joint-school national education activities in government schools. Legislative Council documents show that the authorities have arranged 11 joint-school activities for government primary and secondary schools, including Chinese-style marching drill workshops and competitions, a Chinese traditional sports day, a Lunar New Year Chinese costume design competition, and visits to the Patriotism Education Support Centre. The first activity was held in September.
繼早前為全港中小學編寫「國民教育活動規劃年曆」,教育局馬不停蹄,在《施政報告》公布將在官立學校,率先推行聯校國民教育活動。立法會文件顯示,當局已為官立中、小學編排好11個聯校活動,包括中式步操訓練工作坊及比賽、中國傳統運動日、新春華服設計比賽、參觀「愛國教育支援中心」等,首個活動已於9月舉行。

台教育展煞停 台灣海外聯招委會:未曾遇場地問題
An education expo organised by the General Association of Hong Kong Alumni Associations of Taiwanese Universities, originally scheduled to run for two days from last Saturday (15th), was cancelled after three secondary schools successively stopped lending their premises, leaving the event without a venue. The Taiwan Overseas Joint Admission Committee, which has held higher-education expos in Hong Kong several times in the past, told this newspaper that it had never encountered venue problems. It said that, owing to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in recent years, it had replaced physical expos with online events since 2020. It also said the General Association of Hong Kong Alumni Associations of Taiwanese Universities had never invited it to participate over the years, and that it therefore had no knowledge of the association’s contact process or event arrangements.
「台灣各大學香港校友會總會」原定上周六(15日)起一連兩天舉行的教育展,先後遭3間中學煞停借用校舍,未有場地而需取消。過去多次在港舉辦高等教育展的「台灣海外聯合招生委員會」回覆本報稱,未曾遇過場地問題,惟近年受新冠疫情影響,自2020年起以線上形式取代實體展;又稱「台灣各大學香港校友會總會」歷年來未邀請該會參與,故對其聯繫過程、辦理情况等並無所悉。

初中「生活與社會科」更名 加強國安教育、刪減核心價值內容
The Education Bureau has proposed revising the junior secondary Life and Society curriculum and renaming it Citizenship, Economics and Society. The revised curriculum will strengthen learning elements related to the Constitution, the Basic Law, national security education and education on China’s national situation. Schools are encouraged to pilot the new curriculum next September, with full implementation in Secondary 1 in the 2024 new school year. The existing learning objectives on understanding the core values and attitudes of local society—including rights and responsibilities, freedom, the rule of law, justice and democracy—as well as developing an identity as a global citizen, will be removed. When discussing values, the new curriculum will place greater emphasis on the Constitution, the Basic Law and “duties that should be fulfilled”.
教育局建議修訂初中「生活與社會科」的課程大綱,兼改名為「公民、經濟與社會科」,將會加強《憲法》、《基本法》、國安教育和國情教育學習元素,當局鼓勵學校在明年9月試行新課程,2024年新學年全面在中一實行。原有學習目標就了解本地社會核心價值觀和態度,包括權利與義務、自由、法治、公義、民主,以及培養世界公民身份認同等部分則刪去。新課程討論價值觀時,更強調《憲法》、《基本法》以及「應盡的義務」。

校方強拆學生會會室 一意孤行擴建圖書館入口 扼殺學生會存在
The Students’ Union received notice from the Student Affairs Office (DSTO) about a month ago that library expansion works would begin after next February. All affiliated-society offices in LG5, including the Students’ Union’s original premises, would then be demolished and converted into a library entrance. Some societies said that the space currently available for affiliated-society activities was already severely inadequate, and that expanding the library entrance would do little to help students and was intended only to suppress the Students’ Union. They also criticised the school for proceeding unilaterally without any consultation, ignoring the actual needs of the Students’ Union and affiliated societies, and effectively seeking to eliminate the Union’s existence.
學生會於約一個月前接獲學生事務處(DSTO)通知,指圖書館將於下年二月後開始擴建工程,屆時將拆除LG5包括學生會原址在內的所有屬會會室,改建為圖書館入口。有學會反映目前屬會活動空間已嚴重不足,擴建圖書館入口對學生幫助不大,用意只為打壓學生會,同時批評校方毫無諮詢下一意孤行,無視學生會及各屬會實際需求,等同於扼殺學生會存在。

荃灣聖芳濟罰14名「不尊重」升旗禮學生停課 議員指若學生不服或致反效果
Tsuen Wan St Francis Xavier’s School accused 14 students of “behaviour that disrespected the flag-raising ceremony” and suspended them from classes for three days. In a statement, the school only briefly said that the students did not return to their classrooms or assemble on the playground before the flag-raising ceremony at morning assembly, without providing specific details of the alleged “disrespectful” behaviour. Several media outlets today quoted the punished students as saying that they had been eating breakfast on the playground in the rain at the time. Education-sector lawmaker Kwok Keung (1958) Chu said on a radio programme today that the Education Bureau generally did not favour suspension as a disciplinary measure; in the past, even when students repeatedly harassed classmates or physically injured others, the bureau had not recommended suspension. He agreed that if the school handled the matter improperly, it could leave students with a negative impression of the flag-raising ceremony.
荃灣聖芳濟中學指控14名學生作出「不尊重升旗禮儀式的行為」,勒令停課3天,校方在聲明只簡略稱涉事學生早會升旗前無返回課室及到操場集隊,沒有交代「不尊重」行為的具體詳情。多間傳媒今日引述受罰學生申冤,指當時在雨天操場吃早餐。教育界議員朱國強今在電台節目指,教育局一般不傾向停課處分,過往有學生不停騷擾同學,或傷害他人身體,局方都不建議停課。他同意若校方處理不當,會使學生或對升旗禮留下負面印象。
