This morning, I opened Phoenix TELEVISION and happened to see the host of the program, Wu Xiaoli, interviewed Fan Xulitai, the theme is "Education Issues in Hong Kong", who has served as the president of the Legislative Council for many years, has been the chairman of the Education Committee, and is now the chairman of the council of the "Reed Education Center", so whether it is seniority or insight, Fan Tai is very qualified to talk about education in Hong Kong.
Fan Xulitai pointed out that this generation of teenagers has indeed lost its way, education has really had problems, and after the return of Hong Kong, we really have not paid attention to the importance of the problem in this regard. She said that today's teenagers are overconfident and lack self-examination and review whether their words and deeds are correct, which is the way of teaching in foreign countries in the first place.
In addition, she also admitted that the "general education" subject was wrong, and did not fully consider that when the "general education" subject was implemented, it was not fully prepared in terms of teaching materials, and it was too much for teachers to interpret themselves, so that teachers with ulterior motives could take advantage of this free play and instilled their political beliefs in students, and the score of general studies had a very heavy proportion in the examination results, which was calculated within the results of the examination.
The most tragic thing is that the approval of the general studies examination questions of the HKEAA is a speculator, so the History Section of the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination (DSE) was produced, and the test questions require candidates to answer with the information provided and historical knowledge: "Between 1900 and 45, Japan brought more benefits to China than disadvantages, do you agree with this statement?" This controversial examination question eventually led the chief executive to attach great importance to it and order the rectification of the general studies department.
Nowadays, fan tai presides over the "Lijin Education Center", which organizes teacher groups to inspect local and enterprise development in the mainland every year, so that teachers can personally experience the country's daily development. In addition, the center has also produced a "Star Voice Storytelling" hard disk, so that young people can learn about Chinese historical figures and stories while watching.
Fortunately, "Hong Kong still has kind people" and people with hearts, who work silently and for a long time, so that the society can maintain positive energy and let the public understand the national conditions and Chinese history.
"This book in Hong Kong is indeed profound and difficult to understand", most citizens run for their mouths all day long, some political and economic circles work hard day and night for fame and profit and power to fight for it, how many people truly love Hong Kong and the country, and plan for Hong Kong's long-term welfare and development? As a small citizen, it is also a great pleasure to watch the changes in the wind and clouds with cold eyes, write the text "uneven and sound", and occasionally see some people and things worthy of praise, and share with everyone.
