取消本港師生團赴日交流活動 教育局：為確保參加者安全
Relations between China and Japan have gradually become tense after Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi earlier made remarks on a “Taiwan contingency”. The Hong Kong Security Bureau subsequently updated its travel alert for Japan, while a Hong Kong teachers and students delegation selected by the Education Bureau also withdrew from next month’s “21st Century East Asia Youth Exchange Programme” activity in Japan. The Education Bureau said the decision was made to ensure participants’ safety, as there had recently been an increasing trend of Chinese citizens being attacked in Japan.
日本首相高市早苗早前發表「台灣有事論」後，中日關係漸趨緊張。香港保安局其後更新對日旅遊警示，教育局甄選的本港師生團亦退出下月在日舉辦的「21世紀東亞青少年大交流計劃」活動。教育局指，因近期中國公民在日本遭遇襲擊事件的趨勢增加，有關決定是為了確保參加者的安全。

教局推小學立選工作紙
With the Legislative Council election approaching, Emily noted that the Education Bureau launched a “2025 Legislative Council General Election Self-Study Worksheet” for the primary school humanities subject last Thursday (the 13th). Primary school pupils are asked to watch a 30-second government publicity video and answer multiple-choice questions about matters including the election date and the age of eligible voters. One question asks whether voters should bring a Home Return Permit, driving licence or identity card to the polling station; the answer is an identity card. The worksheet ends by urging primary school pupils to “remember to remind their fathers and mothers to go to the polling station to vote on 7 December 2025!”
立法會選舉將至，Emily留意到教育局上周四（13日）推出小學人文科「2025年立法會換屆選舉自學工作紙」，畀小學生參考30秒政府宣傳片，再答選擇題，考問選舉投票日期、合資格選民年齡等。有題目問「選民要帶回鄉證、駕駛執照定身分證去票站投票？」，答案係身分證。工作紙末端呼籲小學生「記住提醒爸爸媽媽於2025年12月7日前往投票站投票！」

教育局向大專院校施壓阻學者赴台出席中研院香港研討會 《教育刺針》：局方一劍封喉
Pulse HK reported last week that a political commentary article in Eastweek had pressured Hong Kong scholars by “calling on” them to decisively refuse to attend an international conference on Hong Kong to be held by Taiwan’s Academia Sinica in early December. The education news platform Education Sting received a tip alleging that the Hong Kong Education Bureau had also actively intervened by contacting tertiary institutions to prevent local scholars from travelling to the conference. Hans Yeung Wing-yu, the platform’s founder, said the Education Bureau’s “open and explicit” intervention this time amounted to “a fatal blow”, signalling that similar incidents must not happen again and that academic freedom would decline further.
Academia Sinica’s Hong Kong Studies group will hold the third “Hong Kong Studies Going Global” international conference on 4 and 5 December. In a post yesterday (28th), Education Sting said it had received exclusive and reliable information that the Education Bureau had contacted local tertiary institutions and directly pressured Hong Kong-based scholars who had already registered to attend, in an effort to stop them from going to the conference.
Hong Kong’s eight publicly funded universities have traditionally been regulated and funded by the University Grants Committee (UGC). However, Education Sting quoted a source as saying that the Education Bureau had taken the initiative this time and, after obtaining information including the participating scholars and their paper topics, directly pressured the institutions. According to Pulse HK, at least five scholars from Hong Kong are scheduled to present papers, including Ma Ngok of The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
《追光者》上周曾報道，《東周刊》有政論文章向香港學者施壓「呼籲」要果斷拒絕出席台灣中央研究院（中研院）將於12月初舉辦的香港相關國際研討會。教育新聞平台《教育刺針》收到爆料，指香港教育局亦積極干預，聯繫大專院校阻止本港學者前往。《教育刺針》創辦人楊穎宇認為，這次教育局「開宗明義」出手算是「一劍封喉」，代表不可再發生類似事件，亦意味學術自由會進一步下降。
台灣中研院「香港研究」小組，將於12月4至5日舉行第三屆「香港研究走向全球」國際研討會，《教育刺針》昨（28日）發文稱獲得獨家可靠消息，教育局聯繫本地大專院校，直接向已報名參加會議的在港學者施壓，阻止他們出席會議。
香港八間資助大學一向都是由大學教育資助委員會（UGC）規管及撥款。不過，《教育刺針》引述報料人透露，教育局今次主動出手，在掌握有關出席學者及論文題目等資訊後，直接向院校施壓。據《追光者》了解，來自香港並將會發表論文的學者至少有5位，包括中文大學的馬嶽。

學校響應直播閱兵 學生：強軍才能國安
Last month, the Education Bureau issued a circular to all primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong encouraging them to hold flag-raising ceremonies, sing the national anthem and watch a live broadcast of the military parade yesterday. Various schools responded. Acting Secretary for Education Jeff Chun Fai Sze said the parade was the best national security education and hoped students would carry on the patriotic spirit. Participating students said that a strong country and military were necessary for national security, and some said they would join the disciplined services in future to contribute to the country.
Several schools held flag-raising ceremonies and arranged for students to watch the live broadcast, including CCC Heep Woh Primary School (Cheung Sha Wan) and HKFEW Wong Cho Bau Secondary School. Hong Kong College of Technology also invited students and teachers to provide commentary on the broadcast, explaining China’s military equipment to 200 teachers and students. Student commentator Shuai Binhua said history must not be forgotten or repeated, and that only if China’s influence continued to grow would it be able to reshape the rules of future wars and safeguard world peace. He said, “A strong military ensures national security.”
Jeff Chun Fai Sze attended a Victory Day of the War of Resistance commemorative ceremony at the Patriotic Education Support Centre yesterday. He thanked the education sector for actively responding to the bureau’s appeal, saying the parade was the best national security and patriotic education and that “history is the best textbook”. He also said Hong Kong had played an important role during the War of Resistance, demonstrating an unyielding patriotic spirit.
He added that the country’s progress towards prosperity had enabled its people to live and work in peace and contentment and had given it considerable weight on the international stage. These achievements had not come easily, and he hoped students would cherish and carry on the patriotic feelings of those who came before them, equip themselves well and contribute to the country’s future development.
教育局上月向全港中小學發通函，鼓勵學校昨日舉行升國旗儀式及唱國歌，以及收看閱兵儀式直播，昨日有不同學校響應。署理教育局長施俊輝表示，閱兵儀式是最好的國安教育，冀學生可傳承愛國情懷。有參與的學生認為國強才能國安，將來會投身紀律部隊貢獻國家。
施俊輝：歷史是最好教科書
昨日多間學校舉行升旗禮，並安排學生觀看閱兵直播，包括中華基督教會協和小學（長沙灣）及香港教育工作者聯會黃楚標中學等。香港專業進修學校更邀請同學及老師為直播旁述，向200名師生講解中國軍備。負責旁述的學生帥斌華表示，歷史不能遺忘及重演，認為只有中國的影響力日漸強大，對未來戰爭規則才有改寫的能力，世界和平才有保障，「強軍才能國安」。
施俊輝昨到愛國教育支援中心出席抗戰勝利紀念日儀式，席上他感謝學界積極響應局方號召，認為閱兵儀式是最好的國家安全及愛國主義教育，「歷史是最好的教科書」，又稱香港在抗戰期間擔當重要角色，展現出不屈不撓的愛國精神。
他又說，國家能走上繁榮昌盛的道路使人民安居樂業，並在國際舞台上舉足輕重，這些成果均得來不易，冀學生珍惜並傳承先烈的愛國之情，好好裝備自己，為國家未來發展作貢獻。

教育局更新內地考察指引 指學生勿自行使用外賣平台購買食物
Some students previously left their hotels without permission at night while taking part in Mainland exchange tours. At several other schools, students were suspected of suffering food poisoning and becoming infected with acute gastroenteritis in succession during study visits. The Education Bureau recently updated its frequently asked questions guidance on Mainland study visits under the Citizenship and Social Development subject, stating that, in view of potential hygiene risks and practical needs, students should not independently use food delivery platforms to purchase food or drinks during the itinerary. The Education Bureau recently uploaded the 2025/26 school year’s FAQ document on arrangements for Mainland study visits, which added guidance on students using food delivery platforms to purchase food and drinks during the itinerary.
早前有學生參加內地交流團期間，在晚上擅自離開酒店外出，另有多間學校在考察期間，學生懷疑食物中毒，連環感染急性腸胃炎。教育局日前更新公民與社會發展科的內地考察常見問題指引，列明因應潛在衛生風險及實際需要，學生不應在行程中自行使用外賣平台購買食物或飲品。
教育局日前上載2025/26學年公社科「內地考察安排常見問題」，文件內容新增「學生在行程中使用外賣平台購買食物及飲品」指引，稱因應潛在衛生風險及實際需要，學生不應在行程中自行使用外賣平台購買食物或飲品。

酒店商廈改裝學生宿舍 條款涵遵守國安法
The Development Bureau and Education Bureau announced yesterday that the City-centre Student Hostel Scheme had begun accepting applications. The scheme allows hotels and commercial buildings to be converted into student hostels without going through any planning procedures. An online webpage has also been launched, where interested developers or operators can download and complete the application form. The authorities attached a statutory declaration, under which applicants must comply with national security provisions. Otherwise, their premises will not be regarded as eligible student hostels under the scheme, they will be barred from rejoining the scheme for three years, and the Government will reserve the right to take enforcement action or legal proceedings.
The Development Bureau and Education Bureau said developers or operators must submit a statutory declaration together with their applications, undertaking to comply with the eligibility criteria under the scheme. According to the declaration, if an applicant has engaged, or is engaging, in conduct or activities that may constitute or lead to the commission of offences endangering national security, or that contravene national security interests, the premises will no longer be regarded as an eligible student hostel under the scheme.
The terms also state that during the operation of the student hostel, applicants must submit a certified Annual Report to the Education Bureau by October 31 every year, providing statistics on student hostel occupancy. In the event of any violation, the Government will take appropriate enforcement action in accordance with the declaration, the land lease and the law. As of this month, the authorities said 31 post-secondary institutions across Hong Kong were eligible to participate in the scheme, while the list of eligible student hostels was still awaiting an update.
發展局與教育局昨宣布「城中學舍計劃」開始接受申請，容許酒店及商廈毋須經任何規劃程序改裝成學生宿舍，並推出網上專頁，有興趣的發展商或營辦商可下載並填寫申請表格。當局並附上法定聲明，條款包括申請者須遵守國安條款，否則其處所將不被視為計劃下的合資格學生宿舍，3年內不得重返（rejoin）計劃，政府亦將保留權利提出執法行動或法律訴訟。
每年交周年報告 供學生數字
發展局與教育局稱，發展商或營辦商遞交申請時，須同時作法定聲明，承諾遵守計劃下的資格準則。根據聲明，若申請人曾經或正在從事可能構成或導致發生危害國家安全罪行，或違反國家安全利益的行為或活動，該處所將不再被視為計劃下的合資格學生宿舍。
條款又指出，學生宿舍營運期間，申請人須每年10月31日前向教育局提交經核證的周年報告（Annual Report），提供學生宿位入住的統計數字。若有違規情况，政府將根據聲明、地契和法例，採取適當執法行動。截至本月，當局稱全港31間專上院校合資格參與計劃，而合資格學生宿舍名單則有待更新。

承認提點學校勿參與美獨立日酒會 蔡若蓮指校方須顧及「大原則」
Several local schools received a reminder from the Education Bureau warning teachers to be cautious about attending US Independence Day events organised by the US Consulate General in Hong Kong and Macao, to avoid breaching the National Security Law. Education Secretary [[蔡若蓮]] gave her first response to the matter in interviews with several media outlets, stressing that the reminder was not directed at any particular type of event. She said schools must consider the nature of an activity and the “bigger principles”, such as whether it is directly related to teaching. She also asked: “If you’re just going to serve as a backdrop, should you take part?”
In April, the Education Bureau provided schools with an updated “National Security: School Self-assessment Checklist”, reminding them to exercise proper oversight when inviting people from outside school or arranging for students to take part in external activities. This included finding out whether the organiser’s purpose was educational or promotional. In interviews with various newspapers and radio stations, [[蔡若蓮]] said that after the authorities updated the checklist in recent months, they had “taken the opportunity to remind” schools while explaining it to them, and that the reminder was not aimed at any particular type of event.
多間本地學校收到教育局提示，要教師提防參與由美國駐港澳總領事館舉辦的美國國慶活動，以防觸犯《國安法》。教育局局長蔡若蓮接受多間傳媒訪問首度回應事件，強調並非針對某類活動，學校要考慮活動性質和「大原則」，例如是否與教學有直接關係，蔡又反問：「如果去做佈景板，應唔應該參加呢？」
教育局在4月向學校提供更新版《國家安全：學校自評檢視表》，提醒學校邀請校外人士、或安排學生參加校外活動時，要做好把關工作，包括了解主辦方的目的屬教學抑或宣傳推廣。綜合各報章和電台訪問，蔡若蓮回應美領事件時表示，當局近月更新《檢視表》後，向學校解釋時「順便提點」，並非針對某類活動。

獨立日酒會｜教育局「溫提」學校勿參與美國慶活動 梅儒瑞：從未發生過，絕非我認識的香港
The US Consulate General in Hong Kong held an Independence Day reception today (26th), Gregory May’s last appearance at the event before he takes up a post as deputy chief of mission at the US Embassy in China next month. He has repeatedly expressed his affection for Hong Kong, saying the city is good because of its people and its spirit, but said measures taken by Beijing and the Hong Kong government in recent years had eroded the city’s freedoms. Media reports recently said the Education Bureau had “warmly reminded” several schools that students could potentially breach the national security law by taking part in US national day events organised by the consulate. In his first public response, May said he was disappointed and puzzled: “Try to find an element in this event that could affect the national security of any country.” He also said, “Being willing to engage and interact with the outside world is in Hong Kong’s DNA. This has never happened before, and it is absolutely not the Hong Kong I have known for many years.”
Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Algernon Yau, who attended the reception, criticised the United States’ so-called reciprocal tariffs in his speech as “illogical” and urged the US to correct them as soon as possible. At around 10 p.m., the Hong Kong government issued a 1,400-word statement criticising May for “completely disregarding the spirit of the rule of law” and using “untrue and biased remarks” to deliberately mislead the public and smear the National Security Law, for which it expressed strong condemnation. A spokesperson also said that legal proceedings in the case involving Jimmy Lai were still under way and that no one should comment on the case, “strongly urging US politicians to immediately stop interfering in the internal affairs of the HKSAR and the independent exercise of judicial power by the HKSAR courts.”
美國駐港總領事館今（26日）舉行獨立日酒會，是美國駐港總領事梅儒瑞下月調任美國駐華大使館副館長前，最後一次出席。他多次表達對香港的喜愛，形容香港之所以是美好的城市是因為有香港人和香港精神，惟認為近年北京和港府的舉措令香港的自由受到侵蝕。日前有傳媒報道，教育局向多間學校「溫馨提示」若學生參與領事館舉辦的美國國慶活動，可能觸犯國安法。梅儒瑞首度開腔回應，表示失望和不解，「你試試在這活動找出能夠影響任何國家安全的元素？」他又指，「勇於與外界接觸、互動，是刻在香港的 DNA 裏的。這樣的事情從未發生過，也絕不是我多年來認識的香港。」
出席酒會的商務及經濟局局長丘應樺，致辭時批評美國所謂對等關稅「不合邏輯」，要求美國盡快更正。特區政府在晚上十時多發 1400 字新聞稿，批評梅儒瑞「全然漠視法治精神，以不實和偏頗言論」，刻意誤導公眾和抹黑《國安法》，對此予以強烈譴責。發言人又指黎智英所涉案件的法律程序尚在進行，任何人不應評論案件，「強烈敦促美國政客立即停止干預特區的內部事務和特區法院獨立行使的審判權。」

教育局更新小學英語課程指引 減少默書操練 加強國安教育
The Education Bureau has updated the Primary English Language Curriculum Guide, with a focus on Values Education. It aims to foster students’ national identity and awareness of national security. The bureau also said schools should regularly review and simplify the frequency and quantity of English dictations, tests and examinations, and that dictation results should account for no more than 10% of the English subject grade.
The updated guide is 290 pages long and sets out key curriculum focuses, including strengthening assessment literacy. The Education Bureau said schools should regularly review and simplify the frequency and quantity of English dictations, tests and examinations, and that dictation results should account for no more than 10% of the English subject grade. It said it did not recommend devoting lessons to dictation or examination drills, as this might not effectively consolidate students’ knowledge. The bureau suggested avoiding paper-and-pencil assessments during the first few months of Primary One to provide a pressure-free environment for learning English, and cancelling or avoiding mechanical English grammar drills for upper primary pupils so as not to affect their interest in learning English.
教育局更新《小學英國語文課程指引》，其中重點包括「價值觀教育」（Values Education），希望培養學生的國民身份認同與國家安全意識。此外，教育局指，校方應定期檢討及簡化英文默書及測考頻率及數量，當中默書成績不應佔逾 10% 英文科成績。
教育局更新《小學英國語文課程指引》，長達 290 頁，列出課程重點，其中包括加強「評估素養」。教育局指，學校應定期檢討及簡化英文默書及測考頻率及數量，當中默書成績不應佔逾 10% 英文科成績。教育局表示，並不建議課堂集中在默書和為考試操練，認為這樣未必能有效鞏固學生知識。教育局認為，小一首幾個月避免紙筆評估，以提供無壓力環境學習英文，並取消或避免高小生機械化操練英文文法，以免影響其學英文的興趣。

教育局更新框架 音樂視藝體育加入國安元素 學踢毽日晷增「文化安全」
National security is incorporated into almost every aspect of the education system. The Education Bureau yesterday announced an updated Curriculum Framework for National Security Education in primary and secondary schools, highlighting the concept of “overall security” and covering 20 key areas. It also updated the national security curriculum frameworks for six subjects: Chinese, English, mathematics, music, visual arts and physical education. On how the concept of “overall security” can be incorporated into physical education, the Bureau’s document gives the example that lower-primary pupils can learn the movements and vocabulary involved in playing shuttlecock and understand that shuttlecock is a traditional Chinese sport. In upper primary, pupils can be taught to observe etiquette and understand the need to comply with relevant legislation when the national flag is raised and the national anthem is played and sung at track-and-field and aquatic meets.
The updated Curriculum Framework for National Security Education in Hong Kong emphasises learning the holistic view of national security, enabling students to gain an integrated understanding of and safeguard the country’s overall security, while highlighting the concept of “overall security”. Starting in primary school, students will progressively develop a deeper understanding of the two national security laws. From Primary One to Primary Three, they are required to know the name of the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance and the importance of obeying the law. Primary Four to Primary Six students will learn about the departments responsible for safeguarding national security and law-enforcement departments established under the National Security Law for Hong Kong.
教育體制內幾乎「無處不國安」。教育局昨公布更新中小學國家安全教育課程框架，突出「大安全」概念，涵蓋20個重點領域，並在中、英、數、音樂視藝及體育六科，更新國安課程框架。到底體育科如何融入「大安全」概念？教育局在文件舉例，初小可以透過學習踢毽子的動作及詞彙，認識足毽是中國傳統體育運動。在高小階段就可以教授於陸運會和水運會舉行升國旗及奏唱國歌時，學習遵守禮儀及明白要遵守相關法例。
更新版的《香港國家安全教育課程框架》強調學習總體國家安全觀，讓學生整全理解和維護國家的整體安全，突出「大安全」概念。學生由小學起，逐步深入認識兩條國安法律，小一至小三階段要知道《維護國家安全條例》名稱及守法的重要性，小四至小六學生則要學習按《港區國安法》設立的維護國安部門和執法部門。
