中大藝墟舞台背景板印民女像遭遮蓋 學生引述校方:憂引來外界揣測
The Art Bazaar, previously organised by the CUHK Students’ Union, is being organised this year by the “Inter-College Student Unions Platform Working Group”. A CUHK student told The Initium that university staff went to the venue this morning and, citing concern that the Goddess of Democracy logo on the stage backdrop might “give rise to ominous speculation from outside”, asked for it to be covered. Students at the scene quoted the university as saying: “They believe the Goddess of Democracy is not a happy thing, and is not very suitable for appearing at such a happy Art Bazaar. They also do not want it to remind visitors of unhappy experiences.”
過去一直由中大學生會舉辦的藝墟,今年改由「聯書院學生會平台小組」籌辦。惟有中大學生向《獨媒》透露,校方今早派員到場,指憂慮舞台背景板上的民主女神像標誌「引來外界不詳揣測」,要求把其遮蓋。現場學生引述校方說法:「佢哋認為民女唔係一件好開心嘅事件,唔係好適合喺咁開心嘅藝墟上出現,都唔想觀賞者勾起唔開心嘅經歷。」

再多兩名成員退出 編委會自動解散
The Council announced on 17 September that the Editorial Committee had automatically dissolved and that it was recruiting members for a temporary editorial board Committee. Two editorial board Committee members had applied to withdraw from the Students’ Union, resulting in their automatic departure from the committee. Three other editorial board Committee members had resigned earlier. As more than half of the directly elected positions were therefore vacant, the Students’ Union constitution required the Editorial Committee to dissolve automatically. The Council is now recruiting members for a temporary editorial board Committee.
評議會日前(9月17日)發文宣佈編輯委員會已自動解散並重新招募臨時編委會之委員。基於有兩名編委會成員申請退出學生會,導致該兩名成員自動離任。而較早前已有三名編委會成員辭職,因此超過一半普選成員之職位懸空,根據學生會會章,編輯委員會須自動解散,而評議會現正招募臨時編委會會員。

青年服刑後被踢出大學 葉兆輝批評「唔畀機會先係最影響校譽」
Ming Pao reported yesterday that a 20-year-old student, A M, was sentenced to a rehabilitation centre over the anti-extradition bill movement, but was expelled by his university after completing his sentence on the grounds that he had “damaged the university’s reputation”. Paul Yip, director of the HKU Jockey Club Centre for Suicide Research and Prevention, which assisted A M, said on a radio programme this morning that he regretted the university’s decision. He said A M had not committed any criminal wrongdoing and had already been punished, and that universities should provide education for all. Yip added bluntly: “It is precisely refusing to give young people a chance that most damages the university’s reputation.”
《明報》昨日報導20歲學生阿M因反修例運動被判入更生中心,滿刑後卻被大學以「有損校譽」為由「踢出校」。協助阿M的港大香港賽馬會防止自殺研究中心總監葉兆輝今早在電台表示對大學決定感到遺憾,指阿M並非作姦犯科,而且已接受懲罰,大學應該有教無類。葉兆輝又直言,「正正唔畀年輕人一個機會,先係最影響校譽。」

港大宿生會遭禁用校園設施 校媒引消息指因名稱含「港大學生會」字眼
After the Students’ Union Council passed a motion titled “Thank Leung Kin-fai” last year, HKU announced that it would no longer recognise the “HKU Students’ Union”’s role on campus and removed references to the Students’ Union and its logos from various locations on campus. Some residents of HKU’s Lee Hysan Hall received an email from the hall office yesterday stating that, because the residence association had been removed from the list by the Extracurricular Activities Support Office, it would be prohibited from using the hall and campus facilities.

福建附小安排學生向父母下跪奉茶捱轟
Fukien Secondary School Affiliated School, a direct-subsidy primary school in Yau Tong, held an activity at its earlier school-opening ceremony requiring 70 students to complete several “filial piety tasks” for their parents, including cutting their nails, giving massages and kneeling to serve tea. The activity attracted widespread public attention. The school principal, Eva Charisa Hsu, wrote two days ago to dismiss critics as “overthinking it” and said kneeling to serve tea was not blind filial piety. She explained the matter again on radio this morning, clarifying that students were not required to kneel every day and saying the activity should have been a “once-only” event. She said she had not expected a school activity to trigger citywide discussion and now understood that “filial piety is apparently controversial.”
油塘直資小學福建中學附屬學校早前在開學禮舉行活動,要求70名學生向家長完成多個「孝道任務」,例如剪指甲、按摩、及下跪奉茶等,引起社會廣泛關注。校長徐區懿華前日發文反駁批評者「諗多咗」,又指下跪奉茶非愚孝。她今早再上電台解畫,澄清非要求學生每日下跪,又指活動應該是「唯一一次」,沒料學校活動引起全城討論,她指現在明白「原來孝道係有爭議性㗎喎」。

中大國安課程「認識中國」 段崇智等三任校長親自教授 學習百年屈辱、中國崛起等
The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) is introducing two new courses as the city’s eight UGC-funded universities successively implement national security education. One of them, “Understanding China”, began being taught yesterday (the 5th). All students admitted from this academic year onwards must take the course and complete it before they can graduate. The course consists of five lessons, each taught by a different person, including CUHK’s current president Rocky Tuan and former presidents Ambrose King and Lawrence Lau. The third lesson is taught in Putonghua, while the others are taught in English. Students will study intellectual traditions including Confucianism and Daoism, as well as the “century of humiliation” during which China was invaded by foreign powers and the “extraordinary phenomenon of China’s rise”.
本港8間資助大學相繼落實國安教學,中文大學推兩個新課程,其中「認識中國」昨天(5日)起開始教授。本學年起入學的學生均須修讀,完成後才能畢業。「認識中國」共有五堂課,每堂由不同人教授,包括中大現任校長段崇智、前校長金耀基和劉遵義;其中第三堂以普通話授課,其餘則用英語。學生將學習孔子、道家等學術思想,以及被列強入侵的「百年屈辱」及「中國崛起的非凡現象」等。

有合資格的準教師因有官司在身而被學校拒諸門外
The new school year began last week, with the teacher shortage drawing widespread public attention. Some schools were still recruiting teachers on August 31 to start work on September 1. At the same time, however, a number of qualified prospective teachers were rejected by schools. Allan (a pseudonym), a graduate in education this year, applied to more than 40 primary and secondary schools and was rejected after more than 20 interviews. In the most extreme case, a school had already hired him and even had him conduct a teaching trial, but terminated the arrangement at the time of signing the contract because, as requested by the school, Allan disclosed that he had been arrested and charged during the 2019 social movement. The case is scheduled to go to trial in the first half of next year.
新學年上星期開學,最令社會關注的是學校教師不足,甚至有學校 8 月 31 日仍在招聘 9 月 1 日上班的教師,但同一時間,卻有一批合資格的準教師被學校拒諸門外;Allan(化名)是今年教育學士畢業生,但他先後到 40 多間中小學求職,面試過 20 多代均被拒,最極端的情況有學校已經聘請他「仲試教埋」,但簽約時才臨時終止,因為 Allan 按校方要求,申報自己曾在 19 年社會運動中被捕、起訴,案件明年上半年開審

《獨媒》找來2014至2020年版本的通識課本,與部分2022年首批出爐的公民科課本作比較
Under the new curriculum framework, concepts such as civil disobedience, separation of powers, the four levels of the rule of law and multiple identities have been removed and replaced with topics including national security, national identity and national achievements. The rule of law no longer includes “using the law to limit power”; while human rights are protected, this must not affect the rights of others, social order or national security. Supplementary materials mainly present official views, such as those from the Information Services Department and blogs by bureau secretaries. Learning questions no longer require students to discuss controversial points, asking only questions such as, “Why would an interpretation by the National People’s Congress not affect judicial independence?”
在新的課程框架下,公民抗命、三權分立、法治四層次、多元身分等概念被刪去,換上國家安全、國民身分、國家成就等課題;法治不再包括「以法限權」,「保障人權」之餘亦不能影響他人權利、社會秩序和國家安全;補充資料以官方說法為主,例如政府新聞處和司長網誌,學習問題不再要求學生討論爭議點,只需回答「為何人大釋法不會影響司法獨立?」
