China News Service, Hong Kong, September 22 (Wang Jiacheng) As the epidemic slows down, Hong Kong ushered in the "school season".
Many educators here said in an interview with a reporter from China News Agency that after experiencing the turmoil and epidemic, the students finally returned to school to study. I hope everyone cherish the opportunity to create a healthy, friendly, and peaceful campus environment and not let politics The dispute splits the student group, and even makes illegal violence breed on campus.
Ho Hanquan, the principal of the National History Education Center (Hong Kong) and the chairman of the Education Council, pointed out that the values of kindness, friendship, and equality have always been the campuses.
It is absolutely unacceptable to split the student group due to personal political opinions and to allow illegal violence to breed on campus.
"Especially after last year's illegal violence, turmoil and this year's epidemic, everyone should cherish campus life, cherish these values, and respect each other." He Hanquan said that the principal should also earnestly explain these values to students as soon as possible to show that they are , Responsible to parents.
Regarding illegal posters, slogans and other propaganda advertised "Hong Kong independence" on campuses recently, He Hanquan pointed out that now the National Security Law and the National Anthem Law have officially become Hong Kong laws, and students and teachers should not and should not violate the law.
He suggested that the school issue a statement to let students understand that while enjoying freedom, they must strictly abide by the law. This is the true meaning of freedom.
Chen Weiqiang, a lecturer at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University of Hong Kong Polytechnic University, also believes that while guaranteeing freedom of speech, colleges and universities should draw a line. If student behavior is related to dividing the country, subverting state power, or advocating violence or even terrorism, the school should deal with it in order to avoid it. The student violated the National Security Law and other laws.
However, primary and secondary schools and kindergartens should state that they "do not want to be politicized" and should not stand idly by when students organize human links during class.
It is not easy to get the campus completely free from the deliberate indoctrination of the "Hong Kong independence" elements, and it needs to be changed step by step.
He said frankly that in the more than 20 years since its return to the present, Hong Kong’s education in Chinese culture and history has been insufficient or there have been problems in teaching methods, and even distorted the next generation’s understanding of Hong Kong’s history and Chinese history.
"This requires bit by bit education, by letting students understand Chinese culture and history, and subtly fostering the feelings of being a homeland country." As for the current violent conflicts among students in some colleges and universities due to political disagreement, Chen Weiqiang bluntly said that the school should deal with it in time. , Especially for illegal incidents, the police should be involved in the investigation.
Huang Yushan, president of the Open University of Hong Kong and representative of the National People’s Congress of the Hong Kong District, told reporters: “Now, there are fewer radical students in our school.” He revealed that the school has been trying its best to communicate with students. It takes nearly two hours to sit down and chat with the student council officer. , There are nearly 10 students each time.
"They will put forward their opinions on school administration, and the school will do whatever the school can do, whether it is school facilities or class arrangements."
Huang Yushan explained by taking epidemic prevention work as an example that many classrooms are now conducted through Zoom (cloud classroom), and students have given many useful suggestions.
He said: "I believe that if everyone maintains good communication, there will be no special problems. The school and students should be cooperative, not opposed." (End)
