Chaos has broken out again in the education sector in Hong Kong. In the high school diploma examination held recently, the history examination questions issued by the Hong Kong statutory body Examination Bureau beautified the history of Japanese aggression in China, inducing students to draw the conclusion that "the benefits outweigh the disadvantages" in the Japanese aggression. Dumbfounded. On the 15th, in response to public opinion, the Education Bureau of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region requested the HKEAA to immediately cancel the inappropriate test questions and make appropriate adjustments. The HKEAA's statement will follow up, but its attitude is still vague.
The Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination is equivalent to the Mainland College Entrance Examination. The seriousness is self-evident and the guiding role can be imagined. Such a ridiculous test question appeared in such an important test, which produced such a bad social impact, and once again proved that the education industry in Hong Kong is "poisoned" to the extreme, and the education problem in Hong Kong is extremely serious. The incident was not accidental. Some media revealed that earlier in April this year, there were suspicions that senior staff of the Hong Kong Assessment and Assessment Bureau preached on social media that "no Japan invades China, there is no new China." Distorting historical facts, betraying national ancestors, trampling on the dignity and feelings of the people, nowadays taking advantage of the world, and using exam questions to promote their platitudes and heresies, is revealing that there is no shortage of black horses in the education sector in Hong Kong.
Analysis of the statement made by the Hong Kong Examinations Authority after the incident can further deepen the understanding of the seriousness of Hong Kong's education problems. "Deep expression of regret", "It is not advisable to make a comment", "Unanimously accept the finalization of the subject after detailed discussion", etc. The arrogance of the response, the ambiguity of the position, and the frivolous responsibility are difficult to understand. In the case of the Education Bureau's explicit request to cancel the test questions immediately, the HKEAA statement still only perfunctoryly "discuss how to follow up" and "try to cooperate". It is no longer necessary to express such a state of mind. As a statutory institution, a professional education institution that holds the baton of examination is still the case. How can one have confidence and expectation in Hong Kong education, and how can one not worry about the historical outlook and national outlook that Hong Kong students are shaping And country view.
Educating people is about the future of Hong Kong. The fact is that many problems in Hong Kong's education are already corroding children's mind and body and destroying the foundations of Hong Kong. Frequently distorted opium wars, advocating colonial rule, and beautifying Japanese aggression against China are frequently used in poisonous textbooks and test questions, which has caused some Hong Kong youths to lose their basic knowledge; to promote "illegal justice", "black police dead to the whole family", "police children can't live for seven years" The toxicologists were not fully cleaned up, and some children were on the dangerous path of violent disaster. In the storm of revision, 3286 students were arrested and the crime rate of minors soared. Do parents really tolerate their children and are taught to be people with confusing values, right and wrong, and lack of common sense? What kind of future will this bring to society and family? To save children and save the future, we must educate Hong Kong to thoroughly cure the bones.
Education in Hong Kong is not too sick, and it must be radical reforms. One is to find out the "poisonous content" hidden in the teaching materials and other places, clean them up, and make them nowhere to hide. The second is to stare at the deliberate "poisoners" and prevent them from reaching out to their children. The education department of the SAR Government needs to bid farewell to the patchy diagnosis and treatment method, show the determination and courage of the strong men to break their wrists, and act decisively and systematically, so that the sky of education in Hong Kong can be refreshed and protect the healthy growth of Hong Kong youths.
