Last update date: 2020-05-15 02:22The history of the 2020 Secondary School Diploma Examination (World History) will begin on Thursday (14th). The second question of this year's Volume 1 cites the saying "Japan has brought more benefits than harm to China in the period 1900-45." Whether the candidate agrees and explain the answer. The test questions attracted criticism from the Education Bureau and criticized it as "seriously hurting the feelings and dignity of the people who suffered greatly during the Japanese invasion of China."
The Hong Kong Association of Educational Professionals (Educational Association) issued a statement in the early hours of Friday (15th), strongly condemning the Education Bureau ’s claims for brutal trampling on the education profession and stifling rational discussion space.
The second question of this year's Vol.1 cites the saying "Japan has brought more benefits than harm to China during 1900-45", and asked candidates if they agree with this statement and must explain the answer. (Profile picture)
The Education Association ’s statement stated that the Education Bureau had unprecedentedly condemned the examination questions of the Evaluation Bureau without justification. The nature of the Education Bureau ’s political overriding education had a serious impact on the evaluation system. Education in Hong Kong is further pushed to "clamping education", stifling the space for rational discussion of education in Hong Kong.
The statement stated that the assessment of the history subject is mainly based on open-ended questions, and the grading focuses on the candidate's comprehensive grasp of important historical facts, not the candidate's position; the reference materials are only to assist students to make arguments, which does not mean that the candidate needs to agree to the reference materials and the candidate answers Historical facts need to be cited, not just by reference. However, this approach by the Education Bureau not only reflects the Bureau ’s pursuit of political correctness and stifles the discussion space in the assessment, but also seriously tramples on the education profession again, in fact it is to deprive the education profession of professional space once again.
The statement questioned the earlier Chief Executive Lin Zheng Yue'e's accusation of "checking for education." This time he condemned whether the HKEAA's actions were the way the government "checked".
