Carrie Lam: Education Policies Cannot Become Ungovernable, Liberal Studies Awaiting Review within This Year
(11 May) In a recent interview with a newspaper, Chief Executive Carrie Lam revealed that the government will announce the way forward for Liberal Studies (a subject added to Hong Kong’s curriculum 10 years ago) within this year. Lam declared that education policies must not become an unruly subject. If there is a problem, it must be resolved. She also criticised those who are intentionally spreading fallacies in school campuses. Apart from Liberal Studies, other subjects are likely “getting infiltrated” as well. Therefore, someone must act as “gate keepers” in this situation. On top of the Education Bureau, school-sponsoring bodies and school management teams have the responsibility to protect intellectually-immature students from believing those misconceptions.
Carrie Lam also said that violence has not completely subsided yet. Police continue to uncover multiple cases of illegal possession of explosives and firearms, which have huge effects on social stability. Some continued to discredit the police force, but their acts also affirm the effectiveness of law enforcement. She encouraged all law enforcement agencies not to be afraid of any smear campaigns and strictly enforce the law. Lam pointed out there are nonsensical criticisms on Mainland China and Hong Kong coming from foreign countries. This type of improper interventions did not match the expectations of a lawful society. She questioned why should third parties demand the government to release arrestees when there were clear legal and prosecutorial justifications. She continued that “opposing the meddling of external forces in Hong Kong” used to be the language of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but now it has become part of Hong Kong government’s as well.

林鄭月娥︰教育不可成無掩雞籠年內交代通識科前景
行政長官林鄭月娥接受報章專訪，指特區政府會在今年內，交代如何處理通識教育科。她指教育不可以成為「無掩雞籠」，出了問題必須要處理，又批評有人有心在校園內傳播歪理，除了通識科之外，其他科目亦會「被滲入」，因此需要有人把關，除教育局外，辦學團體和學校的管理層都有把關功能，以保障心智未成熟的學生，不被歪理荼毒。

Government Blames Liberal Studies for Generating Different Opinions in HK
In an interview with China-funded, pro-Beijing newspaper Ta Kung Pao, Carrie Lam drew an analogy of education in Hong Kong to “a doorless chicken coop without supervision".
Responding to the criticism launched by the Chinese Communist Party media and Beijing loyalists on Hong Kong public exam for "not being patriotic", Lam reiterated that the issues raised by Beijing would be dealt with as the future of Liberal Studies would be announced this year.
Conjoining Beijing, Lam blamed subjects like Liberal Studies for having been "infiltrated" and that "some people intentionally disseminated false and biased information in schools". Lam concluded "stringent control is required."
Since Beijing's open attack of Hong Kong's legislature and education system, the local population are worried that China's "Cultural Revolution" tactics will be applied in Hong Kong.

The restructuring of the education system is a whole year’s worth of murderous script
This is an important piece. Please read and share.
Looking at the news chronology, you’ll find that the removal of the controversial history exam question is just an appetizer. What the government wants to do is to wipe out this generation.
12 Jun 2019 - Secondary school teacher Mr. Yeung was shot in Admiralty. Pro-Beijing newspapers and camps condemned him as a “rioter-teacher”.
Jul 2019 – Pro-Beijing media bombarded the private remarks of the assistant principal of the HKCCCU Logos Academy, claiming that “yellow teachers are poisoning kids".
Aug 2019 onwards – Teachers are targeted and encouraged to blow the whistle on their coworkers. Pro-Beijing media began to attack Liberal Studies in the Hong Kong Senior Secondary Curriculum.
//pro-Beijing media emphasized on the "severe infiltration of yellow teachers", and that the education system must be restructured.
//The freedom of thought of this generation’s students cannot be removed. The only way to suppress them with weapons, beat them up and arrest them, and the cycle continues.
//The government gave up on this generation. Overthrow the system, and the next generation could be brainwashed from the beginning.
//Those who soberly fight back are bound to be driven to extinction. In this battle, there will be no ceasefire until every last Yellow Ribbon either surrendered or died.

<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! //

Hong Kong Gov't Imposes Heavy Censorships in Latest Revision of Liberal Studies Textbooks
The Education Bureau recently listed and published the changes in the latest revisions of Liberal Studies textbooks.
The section entitled “Present day Hong Kong” has been significantly changed. Apple Daily found out that most of the content related to human rights and social movements have been removed.
A comic strip in the original edition mentioned that the Causeway Bay Bookstore shareholder Paul Lee was kidnapped. However, in the revised version, that part was changed to a quote by the police saying that Lee “volunteered to go to mainland China”.
Overseas social movements such as the Catalan Independence Movement, the Jasmine Revolution in Tunisia, have all been removed. Some teachers challenged the revision, claiming that the edits were made in an attempt to evade controversial topics.

Japanese Universities Use Liu Xiaobo’s "Charter 08" as Chinese Teaching Material
In 2019, the Education Bureau of Hong Kong initiated a “professional consultancy service” for senior secondary curriculum Liberal Studies text books. The public raised doubts that the books were actually handed over for censorship. Recently, six publishers has published revised textbooks, in which components pertaining to political contents such as the 1989 June 4th Tiananmen incident were “river crabbed” (a euphemism for censorship in China).
On the other hand, Japanese universities have been adopting Liu Xiaobo’s written work "Charter 08" as a Chinese teaching material.
Nishinippon Shimbun reported that some universities in Japan have been using Charter 08, written by the late Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo, as a Chinese teaching material. The teaching material, entitled Learning Quality Chinese through Charter 08, was published by a Japanese publisher last year on the 30th Anniversary of June 4th Tiananmen incident. The publication makes use of the full text of Charter 08 and includes a Japanese translation, grammar explanations, exercises and a brief description of the history of social movements in China.
Ken Suzuki, professor of law at Meiji University, has been using the book to teach since fall last year. He said, “Through studying constitutional law, students can learn standard Chinese syntax. Charter 08 is a critique on the present state of China, so it gives students an idea of China’s current condition too.” The report added that besides Meiji University, many universities in Kansai also used this book as a teaching material for Chinese language this year. Some of these universities initially planned to use books published in China, but changed to Charter 08 when the books could not be posted to Japan due to the epidemic.

Lawmaker: Review of Liberal Studies textbook by Government-influenced assessment panel is at odds with current arrangement and politically driven
The Education Bureau in Hong Kong established a consulting service on Liberal Studies last September for publishers to submit textbooks for their approval, claiming that the arrangement is on voluntary base. When responding to legislator’s inquiry, Kevin Yeung Yun-hung said the textbooks will be reviewed by an expert panel encompassing inspectors of the Bureau, university scholars and education professionals.
Owing to local media’s further inquiry, citing Code on Access to Information, the Bureau eventually revealed that among 22 members 12 were Bureau-appointed inspectors, only 2 were university scholars while the identities of the remaining 8 were yet disclosed. The Bureau explained that panelists identities were classified information due to confidentiality agreement.
Yip Kin-yuen, Education-sector legislator pointed out that this is an odd arrangement as most reviewing panelists were recruited externally. Yip stressed that when a reviewing panel is dominated by Bureau-appointed inspectors, the review is no longer an independent assessment based on expert opinion, but more likely an exercise delivered to fulfill political mission.
