In 2024, there are 11 universities in China (cross-strait and three places) ranked among the top 100 universities in the QS World University Rankings, and Hong Kong remains the only city in the world with 5 universities ranked among the top 100 universities in the QS World University Rankings! This is due to Hong Kong's high standards of institutional system and academic freedom: Hong Kong's universities have freedom of admissions, curriculum, and research and development. However, during the opening season, a number of "welcome scandals" in Hong Kong universities broke out one after another, which made many people shatter the "high-precision" filter of Hong Kong higher education!
1. Videos of Lingnan University's Ocamp activities published online show a variety of lewd games such as mouth-to-mouth feeding of male and female students and "licking" girls' fingers.
2. The Hong Kong Education University Welcome Camp was sexually assaulted, and the police arrested a 28-year-old male student who was in a bachelor's degree program.
3. The University of Hong Kong orientation camp was also reported to have been sexually harassed, and some students smoked marijuana.
The above universities are all the top eight public universities in Hong Kong, of which the University of Hong Kong ranks 26th in the world, 3rd in the country and 1st in Hong Kong. In recent years, the number of mainland students applying for four-year full-time undergraduate and one-year full-time master's degrees in Hong Kong has been increasing year by year.
Fortunately, on September 5, Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu responded positively in an interview with the media before the Executive Council: Sexual assault or other illegal acts in universities cannot be tolerated, and universities should cooperate with law enforcement. If it is really a violation of the law, it must be dealt with; If it does not violate the law, but conflicts with the rules of the school, the school is also responsible for maintaining discipline in the school. The Education Bureau of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government said that it has clearly requested the relevant universities to deal with it seriously and cooperate with the investigation of law enforcement agencies, and serious cases can be expelled from school.
Mainland netizens also offered suggestions: it is recommended that Hong Kong universities should implement military training to rectify school spirit and discipline!
