Rights and freedoms; when talking about the constitutional relationship between the Mainland and Hong Kong, the goal is to cultivate students' patriotic values.

A general education teacher admitted frankly that the society is controversial about the implementation of the National Security Law. When the teaching target is facing high school students, if only the official conclusions are listed, the approach seems unsatisfactory, but considering the current social atmosphere, they are not familiar with the law , I believe the industry can only teach according to the official briefing.

The Civil and Social Development Division will be gradually implemented at the S4 level in September this year. The first topic is "The Connotation and Practice of One Country, Two Systems".

Only more than two months before the opening of the course, "Hong Kong 01" found that the Education Bureau had uploaded three teaching briefings on its online resource platform, with themes surrounding the return of Hong Kong, the constitutional relationship between the state and the SAR, and national security.

In the briefing on the learning theme of "The Significance of Maintaining National Security", it mentioned the development of the overall national security concept, the definition of 13 key areas of the national security concept, and the relationship between the rule of law and human rights.

The briefing stated that Hong Kong enacted the "Hong Kong National Security Law" instead of including the "National Security Law", "National Intelligence Law", "Counter Espionage Law" and other national laws in Annex III of the Basic Law for implementation. It is "adhering to the principle of one country, two systems." reflect.

The content continued that the formulation and implementation of the "Hong Kong National Security Law" not only "sound and perfect" the rule of law in Hong Kong, but also promote the protection of human rights in Hong Kong; the law was promulgated and implemented on June 30 last year, "effectively stop violence and control chaos, Hong Kong society Life is restored to peace, and citizens’ basic rights and freedoms are guaranteed in a timely manner."

Claiming that the Basic Law is an "authorization law" and there is no residual power

In addition, when talking about the "constitutional relationship between the state and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region," the briefing pointed out that the values ​​of patriotism should be cultivated among students.

The briefing described the Basic Law as an "authorization law." The central government granted Hong Kong a "high degree of autonomy." "All powers not granted should belong to the central government and not in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region."

In the section of "Thinking Questions" it was pointed out that some people claim that the central government's power to administer the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is limited to defense and diplomatic matters, and all other things fall within the scope of the "high degree of autonomy" of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The briefing described this view as a mistake, and Asked why Hong Kong has no remaining power.

The three teaching briefings use a lot of official information, such as quoting CCTV footage, mentioning the statements made by President Xi Jinping at the first meeting of the National Security Committee, and refer to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Beijing People’s Publishing House "Hundred Questions on National Security Knowledge" "The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region National Security Law Reader" presented by the Ministry of Education to all schools in Hong Kong.

If only the official conclusions of the briefing materials can be taught, other social opinions on the regulations are ignored. , Does not seem to be ideal.

However, he pointed out that teachers are not familiar with the provisions of the National Security Law, and given the current social atmosphere, he believes that he can only refer to the briefing for teaching.
