《獨媒》找來2014至2020年版本的通識課本,與部分2022年首批出爐的公民科課本作比較
Under the new curriculum framework, concepts such as civil disobedience, separation of powers, the four levels of the rule of law and multiple identities have been removed and replaced with topics including national security, national identity and national achievements. The rule of law no longer includes “using the law to limit power”; while human rights are protected, this must not affect the rights of others, social order or national security. Supplementary materials mainly present official views, such as those from the Information Services Department and blogs by bureau secretaries. Learning questions no longer require students to discuss controversial points, asking only questions such as, “Why would an interpretation by the National People’s Congress not affect judicial independence?”
在新的課程框架下,公民抗命、三權分立、法治四層次、多元身分等概念被刪去,換上國家安全、國民身分、國家成就等課題;法治不再包括「以法限權」,「保障人權」之餘亦不能影響他人權利、社會秩序和國家安全;補充資料以官方說法為主,例如政府新聞處和司長網誌,學習問題不再要求學生討論爭議點,只需回答「為何人大釋法不會影響司法獨立?」

遭教育局變相審查 通識教科書刪公民抗命、法治人權內容
Liberal Studies has come under attack from the pro-establishment camp in recent years. Last year, the Education Bureau introduced a “Professional Consultation Service” for Liberal Studies textbooks, which was criticised as effectively making it compulsory for textbooks to be submitted for vetting. The revised editions produced by publishers for the first time after following the authorities’ “consultation”意见 were released yesterday (17th). Stand News found that various Liberal Studies textbooks had made multiple revisions to the “Hong Kong Today” unit, one of the subject’s six major units. In the Ya Ji New Senior Secondary Liberal Studies Series (Fourth Edition), which had been extensively criticised in Wen Wei Po, an entire page of materials and exercises on “civil disobedience” was removed. The authorities’ stated reason for requiring its deletion was simply “teaching needs”.
通識科近年受建制派狙擊。教育局去年推出通識教科書「專業諮詢服務」,被批評變相強制將課本送審。各出版社首按當局「諮詢」意見後首次作出的修訂版本昨日(17日)推出。《立場新聞》發現,通識科六大單元之一「今日香港」的各款教科書作出多處修訂,其中曾被《文匯報》大篇幅報道抨擊的《雅集新高中通識教育系列(第四版)》,將一整頁有關「公民抗命」的資料練習題刪走,當局要求刪除原因僅稱是「教學需要」。
