高中中史及歷史優化課程框架出爐 新增課題包括中共成立 2030年DSE起適用
The Education Bureau issued a circular to schools today (the 3rd), announcing the enhanced curriculum frameworks for senior secondary Chinese History and History. The new frameworks are planned for full implementation in Secondary 4 in the 2027/28 school year and will apply to the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education examinations from 2030 onwards. Based on the existing curricula, the enhanced Chinese History curriculum updates some topic content, while the History curriculum updates and consolidates content from different topics. In terms of assessment, the Education Bureau said both subjects would introduce more diverse and objective question types. Under the latest curriculum framework, the compulsory part of Chinese History will continue to be divided into Parts A and B. Part A, “Ancient Chinese History”, is divided into five historical periods covering the period from ancient times to the mid-Qing dynasty. Part B, “Modern Chinese History”, is likewise divided into five historical periods. Compared with the existing framework, new topics include “The Founding of the Chinese Communist Party” and “The New Era of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics”. The elective component will be reduced from six units to three. History currently consists of the introduction “The Making of the Modern World”, Theme A “Modernisation and Transformation in 20th-Century Asia”, and Theme B “Conflict and Cooperation in the 20th-Century World”. Under the new framework, there will be three units. Unit 1, “The Formation of the Modern World”, includes topics such as the colonial expansion of imperialist countries and resistance in Latin America and Asia. Unit 2, “War and Peace”, covers the two world wars and the Cold War, among other topics. Unit 3, “China and the World”, covers the period from the founding of the Communist Party to the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, as well as China’s development and achievements. The History elective component will also be restructured into two units, of which students may choose one.
