諸聖中學容許學生自選簡體字答卷 團體憂動搖文化根基
After two government primary schools in Sha Tin and Hong Kong Island sparked controversy earlier by allowing students to use simplified Chinese in tests and examinations, Kowloon Sheng Kung Hui All Saints’ Middle School has also been accused of allowing students to answer in simplified Chinese in unified tests. It was further reported that the school had issued notices several years ago allowing students to choose between traditional and simplified Chinese, with some classes seeing “most students choosing simplified Chinese, with only three or four choosing traditional Chinese.”
The Cantonese preservation organisation Konghub received a reader tip-off yesterday (20th) alleging that the school had for years provided simplified-Chinese examination papers for students who were not proficient in traditional Chinese, including a simplified-Chinese mathematics unified test paper. The tipster said the arrangement “could undermine the teaching foundation built on the use of traditional Chinese in Hong Kong for many years” and expressed concern that it could affect the transmission of traditional Chinese, students’ cultural identity and their ability to adapt to the mainstream written language. Konghub questioned whether the Education Bureau was exercising inadequate supervision, warning that this could further narrow the scope for using traditional Chinese in Hong Kong.
繼沙田及港島兩間官立小學早前因容許學生在測考使用簡體字引起爭議後，九龍聖公會諸聖中學亦被指在統一測驗中容許學生選用簡體字作答。消息更指，校方在幾年前已經在測驗前發出通告，容許讓學生選擇以繁體或簡體作答，有個別班級更出現「大部分學生揀簡體、只有三四人選繁體」的情況。
粵語保育組織「Konghub」昨（20日）收到讀者報料，指諸聖中學多年來提供簡體字試卷，供不擅繁體字的學生選用，並附上一份以簡體字數學科統一測驗卷佐證。報料者認為有關安排「或動搖香港多年沿用繁體字的教學基礎」，並憂慮影響繁體字傳承，影響學生的文化認同及適應主流語文的能力。Konghub質疑教育局監管不力，恐令繁體字在港的使用空間進一步萎縮。

樂善堂轄屬中學校服惹爭議 舊生批校方「零回應」促撤回並啟動公投
Do students like their school uniforms? Have they ever imagined wearing uniforms they designed themselves? In 2019, Kowloon Lok Sin Tong held a “Uniform Design Competition for Affiliated Schools” to standardise the uniforms of its five primary and six secondary schools. The competition received more than 100 submissions. However, when Lok Sin Tong began standardising and replacing the secondary-school uniforms in 2021, it did not use the winning designs. The new uniforms were also criticised for having overly thin material and provoking ridicule.
Since the uniforms were changed, the social media page “lstss.secrect”, managed by former students and students of Lok Sin Tong-affiliated secondary schools, has continued to receive students’ views opposing and questioning the uniform design. In July this year, “lstss.secrect” issued an open letter and collected nearly 1,000 signatures, hoping that Lok Sin Tong would withdraw the new uniforms and initiate a “uniform referendum” to allow students to participate in the uniform decision-making process.
作為學生的你，喜歡自己的校服嗎？有沒有想像過可以穿上自己設計的校服？2019年，九龍樂善堂為統一轄下5間小學及6間中學的校服，舉辦「轄屬學校校服設計比賽」。比賽共收到過百份作品投稿，然而樂善堂在2021年起統一更換中學校服時，未按照得獎作品作設計，新校服更被指有質料透簿、惹來嘲笑等情況。
自換校服以來，由樂善堂轄屬中學舊生及學生管理的社交媒體專頁「lstss.secrect」一直收到學生意見，對校服設計表示反對及質疑。今年7月，「lstss.secrect」先後發出公開信和收集近千個聯署，盼樂善堂能撤回新校服，啟動「校服公投」，讓學生能夠參與校服決策程序。

中學生辯論比賽被荃新天地取消借場 急向中大借場獲批後再收回許可
The Zhishan Cup—Hong Kong-wide Cantonese Debate Competition for Secondary Students, now in its third edition, was scheduled to hold its grand final and prize presentation ceremony on Saturday (28th). However, Citywalk cancelled the venue booking several days ago, citing “emergency safety maintenance works”. The organising committee then contacted The Chinese University of Hong Kong as an alternative venue and initially obtained the university’s approval to use it. After the university sought further details about the competition, it withdrew the approval, and the grand final will have to be postponed.
已舉行三屆的「至善盃——全港中學生粵語辯論比賽」原定周六（28日）舉行總決賽暨頒獎典禮，但在數日前被荃新天地以「緊急安全維修工程」為由，取消借場。比賽籌委會稱，隨即聯絡中文大學作備選場地，原獲得校方借出場地的許可，然而大學在查詢更多比賽的詳情後，收回場地借出許可，總決賽需延期舉行。

禁學生講廣東話？ 德萃小學課堂英普溝通 校方：講廣東話不會受罰 課後活動不設限
The government has promoted Putonghua-medium teaching for years, while many private schools have attracted students by offering teaching in English and Putonghua. Tsz Wing Chu, head of the kindergarten and primary divisions of St. Hilary School, recently discussed the primary school’s curriculum design in an interview with a Douyin self-media outlet. During the interview, Tsz Wing Chu mentioned that the school had “a very interesting policy”: students were “not allowed to speak Cantonese” with one another and could communicate only in English and Putonghua. The remarks were reposted on other social media platforms and sparked heated discussion. A Yahoo News reporter contacted Tsz Wing Chu and the school for an inquiry but received no response. The reporter also contacted the school’s admissions office posing as a parent, and was told that most of the school’s teachers had Putonghua or English as their mother tongue. The school stressed that students would not be punished for speaking Cantonese.
政府力推「普教中」多年，不少私校均以英普教學作招徠。德萃學校幼稚園部及小學部總校長朱子穎早前接受抖音自媒體訪問時大談小學部的課程設計，期間提到該校「有個好得意嘅政策」，學生之間「唔准講廣東話」，只能以英語和普通話溝通，此番言論被轉載至其他社交媒體後引發熱議。《Yahoo新聞》記者則向朱子穎及校方查詢，未有回覆；記者另以家長身份向校方招生辦公室查詢，對方解釋稱因該校大部份老師的母語為普通話及英語，強調學生用廣東話不會受罰。

聖保羅書院聯署一日結束 舊生稱與校方交涉後「放棄追落去」 否認被施壓
A Form Five male student at St. Paul’s College died earlier while taking part in a Citizenship and Social Development exchange tour in Hangzhou. The authorities have not disclosed details of the case. Alumni and students launched an online petition calling on the college to provide a public and transparent account of the investigation’s findings. However, one day later, the petition organiser said the school appeared unable to provide any information because of “privacy and the family’s wishes”, and that he would no longer make any demands of the school and would leave matters to fate. The alumnus who initiated the petition told InMediaHK that he had “given up pursuing it”. He said the school had been friendly and had not exerted pressure during their contact, “which is why the statement specifically included encouragement for the teachers”.
一名聖保羅書院中五男學生，早前在杭州參加公社科交流團期間離世，當局未披露個案內容。有舊生及學生發起網上聯署，要求書院公開透明交代事件調查結果，惟聯署發起人在一日後稱，校方似乎因為「私隱及家屬意願」無法提供任何資料，因此將不再向校方作任何要求，各安天命。發起聯署的舊生向《獨媒》表示「已經放棄追落去」，又稱與校方接觸時，校方態度友善，未有施壓，「因此聲明中特意為老師加油」。

聖保羅書院學生杭州交流期間離世 蔡若蓮指調查結束：事件與考察無關
A Secondary 5 male student at St Paul’s College died earlier while taking part in a Citizenship and Social Development exchange tour in Hangzhou, prompting public questions about whether students must participate in mainland study tours or otherwise face the “consequences” previously mentioned by the Education Bureau. Secretary for Education Choi Yuk-lin responded to the incident for the first time today, saying she was saddened by it. She said the investigation had concluded and stressed that the incident was unrelated to the exchange activity or study-tour itinerary. Out of respect for the family’s wishes, she said details of the case would not be disclosed.
The student died earlier while participating in the exchange tour in Hangzhou. The school changed its social media cover image to black last Saturday (1st) and issued a press release on Monday (3rd), saying it was investigating the incident and had activated a crisis-management team, while appealing to the public to give the family space.

被問性教材事件 湯家驊：好小事、不影響國際對本港教育觀感
Path of Democracy yesterday released its latest One Country, Two Systems Index survey. The proportion of Hong Kong residents who expressed confidence in the education system rose by 6.5 percentage points to 45.6%. A reporter asked about the Education Bureau’s Secondary 3 Citizenship, Economics and Society teaching materials, which advocate playing badminton to curb sexual urges as part of sex education. Path of Democracy convener Ronny Tong said it was an isolated incident and might not affect perceptions of the education system as a whole. “I think it is an isolated incident. It is worth our reference, but it may not necessarily represent a basis for changing the overall assessment. Personally, I think we have room to see whether there will be changes in this respect going forward, whether in terms of performance or public evaluation.”
民主思路昨日公布新一期「一國兩制」指數調查，其中本港市民對教育制度「有信心」的比例上升6.5個百比點至45.6%。有記者問及教育局的中三公經社科教材中，性教育中倡「打羽毛球」遏止性衝動一事。民主思路召集人湯家驊認為屬單一事件，未必會影響對整體教育制度的觀感。「我覺得單一事件，係值得我哋參考，但未必代表一個整體嘅評價改變嘅基礎，我自己個人覺得我哋有空間睇睇嚟緊會唔會係呢方面，無論喺表現上或市民評價方面會有所變化。」
