<Response to the so-called incident of History exam question>
In the chaotic world, distance and silence should have been kept to stay safe. However, I am a principal. When the interests of my students are unfairly damaged, I need to speak for them and claim justice, so that I am worthy of my students and my profession. Another point is that I am a scholar in this troubled world, and I still have a little bit of the traditional Chinese culture, integrity.
In the spirit of running through tears gas to PolyU to save the students on that day, I hereby solemnly speak out regarding the cancellation of the DSE question in History by the Education Bureau.
1. The DSE History exam questions were open-ended since the first exam and have no standpoint of their own. Critics only have a problem with it because they have a pre-determined point-of-view. Making a mountain out of a molehill is unnecessary and unfair. It is not appropriate to bring politics to the campus!
2. Hong Kong has a society with freedom of speech. It makes Hong Kong valuable, to be able to discuss everything is part of the good side of one country, two systems. The education bureau set limits on its own initiative, this damaged the spirit of one country, two systems, and hindered academic freedom!
3. Indeed, educators should positively guide students to handle sensitive issues carefully and make a clear distinction between right and wrong. Critics mistakenly believe that the education sector lacks such attitudes and abilities, condemning it from a populist stance, History, General Studies... just as "the burning of chained barges", it will cause irreparable harm to the education in Hong Kong!
4. Take a thousand steps back, if there are problems with the history test questions, you should first conduct a fact check, understand the position, size, and scope of the problem, ask the involved parties, and also ask the industry's opinions, and seek various ways to solve the problem...etc. There should be no rush to jump out and be stern without the above premises, stating that there is no room for discussion and eliminate the test question. It is unfair to students who have answered this question, and do not trust them to distinguish right from wrong, presupposing the industry cannot guide students towards goodness even they set the DSE questions and mark the papers. This is judgment without trial! All kinds of behaviors give people the impression of making a tempest.
5. In response to the role of the two offices of Hong Kong and mainland China in handling Article 22, the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau (CMAB) made three changes in one night, making the world laugh. Taking history as a mirror, one should learn from experience and act carefully. To one's surprise, the relevant officials repeated the same mistakes when handling the test questions, such a reckless act!
6. The Chief Executive of Hong Kong accused the education sector of being an "uncovered chicken coop", that is correct, the one who is arbitrary and takes it upon oneself to get in and out is the chief executive and the Education Bureau!
The coming storm casts a shadow before them. Principles, please take care! //
