China News Agency, Hong Kong, July 11 (Reporter Zeng Ping) The Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Lin Zheng Yuee, said on the 11th that he hopes that the "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Maintenance of National Security" will return education to education and return students to the right track. Turnaround. The SAR Government will give the school the greatest support to train young people to become a new generation with a national outlook, Hong Kong sentiments, and an international perspective.
Lin Zhengyue made the above remarks while attending the Hong Kong Education Summit Forum.
She said that "the storm of revision" once again made many people feel deeply about the problem of education in Hong Kong. It is shocking that more than 3,000 students from primary, secondary and elementary schools were arrested for participating in illegal and violent incidents, accounting for 40% of all arrested persons, while students under the age of 18 accounted for 45%. The "Zhongda Incident" and "PolyU Incident" also reflect that the campus of the university seems to have become a "bed of violence", and the middle school has a wide range of student groups such as "human chain" and the slogan of "Hong Kong independence".
"What's more worrying is that the incident reflects the weak sense of law-abiding of some students. The violently baptized young people seem to be accustomed to using slogans or struggles to express their views and fight for their own interests. They must be respected for peaceful coexistence with a diverse society. The rational discussions and transpositional thinking run counter to each other." Lin Zhengyue said that the ulterior motives rationalize violence and demonize any governance institutions and considerations based on collective interests into demonstrative manifestations. They mistakenly thought that as long as they continued to destroy and rationalize and perpetuate violations, they could force the government to make concessions.
Lin Zhengyue believes that the problems of the younger generation in Hong Kong may not be mainly the problem of education in Hong Kong, but the problem of "politicized" education. The political issues of education are inseparable from the overall political issues of Hong Kong society. In the final analysis, it is the construction of "one country, two systems". It can be seen from the incidents such as illegal “occupying the middle” and “fixing the law”, some anti-central and anti-government forces have penetrated the campus, some media have reported negatively on the country, misrepresented history, and wantonly discredited the government and law enforcement agencies. , Are reflected in teaching materials, classroom teaching, exam questions, etc.
Lin Zhengyue said that he has asked the Director of Education Bureau to formulate a plan to comprehensively carry out education on "Constitution of the People's Republic of China", "Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China", "National Anthem Regulations" and Hong Kong's National Security Law in schools. She pointed out that the promotion of these laws should be organically combined with Chinese history and national conditions education, and implemented in all classes in a comprehensive, in-depth, vivid and interesting way to effectively enhance students’ national awareness and interest in national development.
