China News Agency, Hong Kong, June 12 (Reporter Zhang Xiaoxi) On the 12th, a spokesperson for the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council (Hong Kong and Macao Office) and a spokesperson for the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (Zhonglian Office) all talked about issues related to education in Hong Kong . In response to this, many Hong Kong education and politicians expressed support for the "two offices" in an interview with the China News Service. They also pointed out that all sectors of society and educators in Hong Kong should establish the young generation's value recognition of "one country, two systems" To train qualified builders of the country and Hong Kong to reflect on and correct current problems in Hong Kong’s education.
Xu Zhenlong, principal of Huang Chubiao Middle School of the Hong Kong Federation of Educators, believes that the current problems in Hong Kong education are not only affected by historical problems, but also related to the incomplete training received by teachers and the more complex information that students have in society. The more pressing issue now is to enable Hong Kong teachers to accurately understand "one country, two systems" and the current development of the country; at the same time, establish and improve an education system that is compatible with "one country, two systems".
Xu Zhenlong said that the Education Bureau of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government should have a very clear direction and goals on how to train students and how students will develop in the future. There should also be a relatively standardized direction for teachers’ responsibilities and training. In order to train the talents needed by the country and Hong Kong.
Chen Jinyun, a member of the National Association of Hong Kong and Macao Studies and the founder of the Education Integration Development Fund of the Greater Bay Area, said that the education field in Hong Kong recognizes and implements "one country" in "one country, two systems", national identity, and historical and cultural pride in the nation. Are insufficient. The starting point of the "Two Offices" is to protect students and establish a healthy growth environment for students. It is very important and necessary, and requires the joint action of the whole society of Hong Kong.
Chen Jinyun believes that Hong Kong has done a good job in the professional training of teachers, and there are also specialized teachers training colleges, but the school management is more "decentralized", and the school can implement its own courses and teaching materials within a certain range. When students face plausible concepts in society, they are often difficult to judge, and the concept of the country is relatively vague, and it is difficult to grasp the "one country" in "one country, two systems."
Therefore, he suggested that the education management department of Hong Kong should dare to act as a standard and role model for "one country, two systems" schools in the Hong Kong society. In addition, it can also promote cooperation between schools and educational institutions in the Hong Kong, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau Greater Bay Area.
Zhu Jiajian, executive director of the Hong Kong General Association of the China Peaceful Reunification Association and a member of the National Hong Kong and Macao Studies Association, pointed out that education in Hong Kong is not an "extra-jurisdictional land". In particular, teachers and students should strengthen their understanding of “one country” in “one country, two systems”.
Zhu Jiajian believes that there are currently some problems with teachers and teaching materials in Hong Kong. It is not appropriate for some teachers to inculcate their own wrong values into students through the teaching content; some test questions will guide students to "enemy" and even openly distort the history, which is even unacceptable. He suggested that Hong Kong should continue to strengthen education on national conditions, national education and the Basic Law of Hong Kong, so that students have a deeper understanding of the country and "one country, two systems".
Yan Wenyu, deputy secretary-general of the Hong Kong Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong (DAB), said that the "two offices" made it clear that there are loopholes in the education system of Hong Kong. He believes that for the current problems, the Education Bureau of the SAR Government should comprehensively review the current teaching materials and professional ethics of teachers, and introduce new measures to plug the loopholes. He also hoped that the education sector would stick to the profession and avoid "politics overriding the profession". He also called on the public to step up disclosure and monitoring of teachers' misconduct. (Finish)
