教育局：未就「應科大」數量及成立時間表設硬指標
Last year’s Policy Address announced plans to establish universities of applied sciences. After the Education Bureau announced the application requirements in February this year, Hong Kong Metropolitan University formally became the first university of applied sciences in March. The Legislative Council Panel on Education discussed the matter on Friday (April 5). Deputy Secretary for Education Jeff Chun Fai Sze said the authorities had not set hard targets for the number of universities or the timetable for their establishment.
去年施政報告宣布推動成立「應用科學大學」（應科大），教育局在今年二月公布申請條件後，香港都會大學在三月正式成為首間「應科大」。立法會教育事務委員會周五（4月5日）討論，教育局副局長施俊輝指當局未有就數量及成立時間表設立硬指標。

政府申注資10億元 增一帶一路獎學金名額
Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu proposed in last year’s Policy Address an additional HK$1 billion injection into the Government Scholarship Fund to increase the number of Belt and Road Scholarship places to 150. The Legislative Council’s Finance Committee discussed the proposal today (26th). Several lawmakers said they did not understand why the Hong Kong government was seeking the injection during a fiscal deficit and when the scholarship fund had a surplus. Election Committee constituency lawmaker Lai Tung-kwok said the Education Bureau had used a six-page paper to apply for HK$1 billion, with only one paragraph explaining the financial arrangements, describing it as “so simple as to be astonishing”.
特首李家超去年在《施政報告》提出，向「政府獎學基金」額外注資10億元，以增加「一帶一路獎學金」名額至150人，立法會財委會今（26日）討論議案。多名議員對港府在財赤時期，兼獎學基金有盈餘下，仍要申請注資10億元表示不解。選委會界別議員黎棟國更指，教育局用6頁文件申請10億元，當中只有1段文字交代財政安排，直斥「簡單到令人震驚」。

立法會教育事務委員小組提倡 幼小中學生推國安教育 新學年教師需通過國安測試
A report published recently by the Legislative Council Panel on Education’s Subcommittee to Study the Promotion of National and National Security Education said that students in Hong Kong lacked national awareness and patriotic sentiment. It proposed that kindergartens, primary schools and secondary schools promote national and national security education, and recommended renaming national education as “patriotism education”. It also proposed strengthening teachers’ training in national and national security education, including requiring all newly recruited teachers to pass the “Basic Law and Hong Kong National Security Law Test” from the next school year.
立法會教育事務委員會的「研究推動國民及國安教育小組委員會」日前發表報告，指本港學生缺乏民族意識及愛國情懷。報告提議，幼稚園、中小學應推動國民及國家安全教育，建議將國民教育改名為「愛國教育」，並加強老師在國民及國家安全教育的培訓工作，例如由下學年開始，所有新聘教師必須通過「基本法及香港國安法測試」。

教育局：除非跌跛腳或患重病，否則必須參加
The Legislative Council Subcommittee on National and National Security Education held its first meeting. Leung Hei of the Democratic Alliance for Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong noted that although the citizenship subject requires secondary students to participate in mainland exchange tours, whether they pass the subject does not affect their Diploma of Secondary Education Examination results. He expressed concern that the tours could become a policy pursued without seeking results. Secretary for Education Christine Choi said the aim was to help students understand the country by reducing examination pressure, and therefore learning outcomes were not assessed by marks. Deputy Secretary-General Tsui Wah Hong Chan added that the exchange tours were compulsory activities: “Unless you’ve fallen and broken a leg or are seriously ill, basically there’s no opting out.”
立法會國民及國安教育小組委員會舉行首次會議。民建聯梁熙提到，公民科雖要求中學生必須參加內地交流團，惟該科目成績合格與否並不影響文憑試成績，憂交流團淪為不求成果的政策。教育局局長蔡若蓮回應指，希望透過減少考試壓力，幫助學生了解國家，故不以分數衡量學習成效；副秘書長康陳翠華則補充，交流團是必須參加的活動：「除非係跌跛咗隻腳或者重病，如果唔係基本上冇得opt out」。

張宇人建議全港課室裝CCTV 教協葉建源憂令教師自我審查 教局：保安與私隱間取平衡
The Legislative Council debated a motion of thanks to the Policy Address. Liberal Party legislator Tommy Cheung again suggested installing closed-circuit television cameras in classrooms in schools across Hong Kong, focused on teachers, so that footage could prove their innocence if they were falsely accused. He also said the footage could allow students to revisit lessons and parents to understand their children’s learning progress. At a meeting of the Legislative Council Panel on Education in July last year, Cheung also proposed installing closed-circuit television cameras in school classrooms to monitor whether teachers introduced political elements into their teaching or made remarks advocating the subversion of state power.
立法會辯論《施政報告》致謝議案，自由黨張宇人再度建議在全港學校課室安裝閉路電視，集中拍攝教師，一旦教師被誣衊時，可證明其清白。他又指，閉路電視片段可以讓學生重溫課堂內容，家長亦可了解學生的學習進度。在去年7月的立法會教育事務委員會上，張亦曾提出在學校課室安裝閉路電視，以此監察教師教學時有否加入政治因素，以及發表顛覆國家政權的言論。
