增收外地生直資校 准升國際課程佔比 最高達49%多間有意申 津校憂競爭加劇
This year’s Policy Address proposed a pilot scheme allowing Direct Subsidy Scheme (DSS) primary and secondary schools to apply from the 2026/27 school year to expand classes and relax class-size limits in order to admit more self-financed non-local students holding student visas. The Education Bureau wrote to all DSS schools yesterday to introduce the scheme, mentioning for the first time that DSS secondary schools could simultaneously apply to raise the proportion of students studying international curricula from the current general level of about one-third to as high as 49%, meaning at least 51% would study the local Diploma of Secondary Education (DSE) curriculum. At least four DSS schools told this newspaper they intended to apply. A DSS secondary-school principal said the scheme would help with student recruitment, while a principal of a prestigious aided school feared that competition for students would intensify. The secondary school principals’ association hopes the authorities will extend the scheme to government and aided schools.
今年《施政報告》提出試點計劃，准直資中小學申請下學年（2026/27）起擴班及放寬每班學生人數，以取錄更多持學生簽證的自資非本地生。教育局昨致函全港直資學校介紹計劃，首次提及容許直資中學同步申請提高國際課程學生佔比，由目前一般佔約三分之一，最高增至佔49%，即最少51%人修讀本地中學文憑試（DSE）課程。最少4間直資學校向本報稱有意申請，有直資中學校長認為有助收生，有津貼名校校長憂慮收生競爭加劇。中學校長會盼當局拓展計劃至官津校。

學校安排外間活動須確保符合國安
The Education Bureau recently issued an updated version of the School Administration Guide. In addition to adding relevant information in preparation for the Mandatory Reporting of Child Abuse Ordinance taking effect early next year, it also added content on national security. This includes requiring schools, before arranging for students to participate in activities organised by outside organisations, to first assess the nature, background or format, and safety of the activities, as well as the identities and backgrounds of the relevant people or organisations, to “ensure that the activities will absolutely not involve anything that endangers national security, political propaganda, inappropriate values, or any sensitive and controversial issues.” A Legislative Council member said that strengthening the scrutiny of activity details was the schools’ responsibility, and that teachers should be able to exercise professional judgment.
教育局近日發布更新版的《學校行政手冊》，除了因應《強制舉報虐待兒童條例》將於明年初生效而加入相關資料外，亦加入有關國家安全的內容，包括要求學校在安排學生參與外間組織的活動前，須先審視活動性質、背景或形式、安全性、相關人士或單位的身份和背景等，「確保活動完全不會有涉及危害國家安全、不涉及政治宣傳、不恰當的價值觀，以及任何敏感和富爭議的議題。」有立法會議員認為，加強審視活動詳情是學校的責任，而教師應能作專業判斷。

首套反恐漫畫派發中小學 細述激進化過程四步曲 辨別極端行為
The Education Bureau began distributing anti-terrorism comic books to more than 900 primary and secondary schools across Hong Kong today (15th). The Inter-departmental Counter Terrorism Task Force said it hoped that, through school-based stories combined with real-life situations, students would understand extremism and radicalisation, develop greater counter-terrorism awareness from an early age, and strengthen young people’s ability to protect themselves. The comic includes details illustrating “extremism”, such as the four-step radicalisation process: starting with not being accepted, allowing dissatisfaction with society to fester into “dehumanisation”, and eventually rationalising violence and carrying out terrorist acts.
The first anti-terrorism comic book and teaching kit, 《Community Shield: Youth Edition》, was compiled by the Inter-departmental Counter Terrorism Task Force together with the One Country Two Systems Research Institute, and is being distributed by the Education Bureau to primary and secondary schools.
The comic is divided into three units covering extremism, radicalisation and response methods. Its section on extremism explains why extremist messages become widespread. Users may come into contact with extremist messages online without realising it; attractive and persuasive slogans can lower the public’s psychological defences through subtle propaganda. Social media algorithms may also result in audiences repeatedly receiving similar “fake news”, gradually leading them to identify with extremism and develop more radical views.
教育局今（15日）起向全港逾900間中小學派發反恐漫畫書，跨部門反恐專責組指出，希望透過校園故事結合實際情況，讓學生了解甚麼是極端主義和激進化，從小建立提高反恐意識，加強青少年的防護能力。漫畫有不少描繪「極端主義」的細節，例如激進化過程四步曲，由不被認同、將對社會的不滿發酵至「去人性化」，以至將暴力合理化，作出恐怖行為等。
跨部門反恐專責組聯同一國兩制研究中心編撰的首套反恐漫畫書及教學套裝《社區守護盾：青少年篇》，由教育局分發到各中小學。
漫畫書分為三個單元，包括極端主義、激進化和應變方法。在極端主義方面，講述極端主義訊息盛行的原因，包括使用者可能在不知不覺間接觸到網上極端主義訊息，透過具吸引力、感染力的口號，令大眾在潛移默化的宣傳下，降低心理防禦；社交媒體演算法亦可能讓受眾不斷收到同類「假新聞」，令人漸漸認同極端主義並思想變得偏激。

蔡若蓮指校園「軟對抗」手法抬頭 將加強審查教材、校外合作機構
On the fifth anniversary of the promulgation and implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law, a number of principal officials have been giving newspaper interviews in turn. Secretary for Education Christine Choi Yu-lin said that “soft confrontation” tactics were emerging in schools, such as embedding messages opposing China and destabilising Hong Kong in teaching materials or books, or concealing political propaganda in ordinary activities. She said the Education Bureau had introduced a number of measures, including tighter vetting of teaching materials, external partner organisations and the backgrounds of people involved, to prevent “anti-China and destabilise Hong Kong” activities.
In an interview with Wen Wei Po, Choi said that after the current-term government took office, it introduced various measures to further strengthen national education and national security education in schools. These included requiring every school to appoint a designated coordinator and setting key performance indicators (KPIs) for areas including curriculum design and teacher training. She said all the indicators had met their targets.
《香港國安法》在港頒布實施5周年，一眾司局長輪流接受報章訪問。教育局局長蔡若蓮表示，校園「軟對抗」的手法抬頭，例如在教材或書籍中滲透反中亂港訊息，或通過普通活動隱藏政治宣傳等，指局方已推行多項措施包括加強審查教材、校外合作機構及其參與人士背景，以杜絕「反中亂港」行為。
蔡若蓮接受《文匯報》訪問，稱現屆政府上任後推出多項措施，以進一步加強學校內的國民教育及國家安全教育，包括要求每間學校指派專責統籌人員，並在課程設計及教師培訓等方面制定關鍵績效指標（KPI），而所有指標都已達標。

《國家安全：學校自評檢視表》更新｜學校須設機制查活動合作組織背景 定期查校網社媒內容
The Education Bureau updated the “National Security: School Self-Evaluation Checklist” yesterday (16th). Covering coordination and planning for national security, monitoring mechanisms, procurement and other areas, the checklist adds more than 40 review items. These include requiring schools to establish a “background-check mechanism” to examine the backgrounds of people and organisations organising activities, suppliers, users of school premises, and outside-school organisations organising overseas activities attended by students, and to assess whether they pose a risk to national security. Schools are also required to regularly review the content of their social media accounts and school websites.
In the 2022/23 school year, the Education Bureau provided schools offering the local curriculum with the “National Security: School Self-Evaluation Checklist” (the “Checklist”) to review their measures for handling national security. The Bureau updated the checklist yesterday, listing 101 items in total. It added a number of measures for safeguarding national security and promoting national education, including whether schools have established review mechanisms to use publicly available information to assess the backgrounds of people or organisations holding activities at schools, users of school premises, suppliers, contractors and others, as well as those organising local and overseas activities, and to examine whether they pose a risk to national security.
教育局昨（16日）更新《國家安全：學校自評檢視表》，內容涵蓋國安的統籌和規劃、監察機制、採購等，新增逾40個檢視項目，當中包括學校須制定「背景審查機制」，審視舉辦活動的人和機構、供應商背景、校舍使用者，以及參加校外組織舉辦的海外活動，有否危害國安。學校亦需定期檢視學校社交媒體內容和校網。

DSE地理書印「問題地圖」 內地海關查獲 錯繪國界漏繪南海斷續線 「涉危領土完整」
After mainland customs officers in March tore out a map of China from a Chinese history textbook carried by a cross-border student, mainland customs authorities recently seized 1,000 books at Huanggang Port that were being sent to Hong Kong, saying they contained “problem maps”, including incorrectly drawn national boundaries and omissions of Diaoyu Dao and the South China Sea islands. Online reports said the books involved were high-school geography textbooks published by Hong Kong Education Books Co Ltd. The Education Bureau said yesterday that the book, HKDSE Exam Series Getting 5** in 9 Weeks: Geography, had not been reviewed by the bureau and was not included in its “List of Applicable Textbooks”.
繼3月有跨境生被內地海關撕走中國歷史書的中國地圖後，內地海關總署日前在皇崗口岸查獲1000本送往香港的書，指書籍印有「問題地圖」，包括錯繪國界、漏繪釣魚台及南海諸島等。網傳涉事書籍為香港教育圖書有限公司出版的高中地理科教材。教育局昨日回覆稱，涉事書籍HKDSE Exam Series Getting 5** in 9 Weeks: Geography未經教育局評審，不在局方「適用書目表」內。

學校行政手冊更新 圖書館藏「或危國安」應即除
In recent years, the Education Bureau has encouraged schools to strengthen national security awareness. It wrote to schools yesterday to remind them that the School Administration Manual had been updated. A comparison of the new and old versions showed that the bureau had long required school library heads to review their collections. The new content states that if materials and content involving serious offences, inappropriate moral or ethical standards, possible illegality, or anything that may endanger or be detrimental to national security are found, “they should immediately be removed or taken out of use to avoid having a negative impact on students.”
教育局近年鼓勵學校加強國家安全意識，昨日致函學校提醒《學校行政手冊》已更新。比對新舊版本，局方一直要求學校圖書館主任檢視館藏等，新增內容提出，如發現涉嚴重罪行、道德倫理不當、有可能違法或含危害和不利國安的資料和內容，「理應馬上將它們移除或停止使用，以免對學生產生壞影響」。

「國優計劃」內地師訓生可留港任教 朱國強：為港引進STEM教師人才、難言搶咗教席
The Ministry of Education has included the University of Hong Kong and The Chinese University of Hong Kong among the participating universities in the second batch of pilot institutions under the National Excellent Primary and Secondary School Teacher Training Programme. The universities will offer programmes to train “national excellent teachers”, while mainland teacher-training students coming to Hong Kong will be encouraged to stay and teach here. Kwok Keung (1958) Chu, an education-sector Legislative Council member, said Hong Kong currently lacks sufficient STEM teachers with science and engineering backgrounds. The programme could bring talent to Hong Kong and promote the strengths of both sides, but it was difficult to estimate how many would stay to become teachers, and it was also difficult to say that they were “taking Hong Kong’s teaching posts”: “It is also difficult to estimate how much help it will provide, but it will certainly help to some extent. After all, some people will stay and develop here. Being able to bring in more mainland teaching characteristics, or methods and experience, will certainly benefit STEM education in Hong Kong.”
國家教育部將香港大學、香港中文大學納入「國家優秀中小學教師培養計劃」第二批試點名單的參與大學，安排大學開辦課程培訓「國優教師」 ，並鼓勵來港的內地師訓生留港任教。教育界立法會議員朱國強指，本港現時具理工科背景的STEM教師人數不足，計劃能為港引進人才、促進雙方優勢，但難以估計留港出任教師的人數，亦難言「搶咗香港嘅教席」：「都好難估計有幫到幾多，不過唔多唔少都一定有。始終會有人留喺度發展啦。能夠引入多啲內地嘅教學特色，或者方法、經驗，都一定對香港嘅STEM教育有幫助。」

教育局發初中宗教課程指引 提醒教材須符國安法避煽動 稱有學校以耶穌一家展中華文化孝道
The Education Bureau issued a circular to all secondary schools yesterday (the 16th), updating the Religious Education Curriculum Guide for Secondary 1 to Secondary 3, which will apply from the 2024–25 school year. The guide gives various examples of the implementation of religious education. It says religious studies can collaborate with Chinese history to study the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang and explore Chinese culture, and cites a Catholic secondary school as saying that Joseph, Mary and Jesus demonstrate the value of filial piety in Chinese culture. The guide also reminds teachers that, when using teaching materials, they must observe the requirements of the Constitution, the Basic Law and the Hong Kong National Security Law, among others, and that illustrations should avoid inaccurate, violent, hate-inciting or indecent images.
教育局昨日（16日）向全港中學發通告，更新中一至中三級《宗教教育課程指引》，由2024至2025學年起適用。《指引》提及不少實踐宗教教育的例子，提到宗教科可與中史科協作研究敦煌石窟，探索中華文化，亦舉例稱有天主教中學指若瑟、瑪利亞與耶穌展示中華文化中的孝道。《指引》同時提醒教師使用教材時必須參照憲法、基本法和港區國安法等規定，插圖需避免失實、暴力、煽動仇恨或不雅等畫面。

四成官校上載國安年報 有註銷政治書 辦活動表演向家長講解 有議員籲勿流於交功課口號式
The Education Bureau requires all schools in Hong Kong to submit an annual report on “measures relating to safeguarding national security and national security education” (hereafter, the annual report). This newspaper reviewed the websites of government schools and found that 27 of them, or about 42%, had uploaded their annual reports for the 2022/23 school year. One government secondary school said it would withdraw seven political books that might contain sensitive content, including *A History of the Downfall of Chinese Intellectuals* and *Mao Zedong and His Women*. Another government secondary school introduced national security education to parents through an event titled “An Appointment with the Principal”. A government primary school required former students to obey the law and not engage in “acts involving endangering national security” when returning to the school. A legislator said schools’ current national security education activities were sufficient, but suggested that they should not merely involve submitting homework or using slogans.
教育局要求全港學校每年呈交「維護國家安全及國安教育相關措施」的年度報告（下稱年報）。本報查閱全港官立學校的校網，當中27間（約42%）已上載上學年（2022/23）年報，有官中表示會註銷7本或涉敏感內容的政治書，包括《中國知識分子淪亡史》及《毛澤東和他的女人們》。另有官中藉「我和校長有個約會」活動向家長介紹國安教育。有官小要求舊生回校時守法，不會做「涉危害國安的行為」。有議員認為現時學校的國安教育活動足夠，但建議不應流於交功課和口號式。
