Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor recently issued a "policy address," which pointed out that the problem of "alienated" in liberal arts should be corrected.
The Secretary for Education, Yeung Yun-hsiung, announced yesterday (26th) that although it has been decided to maintain the compulsory examinations for general education, the subjects will be renamed and the public examination grading arrangements will be changed to only pass or fail.
Yang Runxiong today (27th) emphasized that general education courses have always hoped to cultivate positive attitudes and values, including national identity, and the purpose of the new subjects has not changed.
He also explained that it is normal that the announced reforms are different from the recommendations of the School Curriculum Review Task Force, and the bureau should also consider the direction of education policy and social opinions.
He also pointed out that after the number of liberal studies has been reduced, he hoped that students could allow them to take other subjects, such as innovation and technology.

When Yang Runxiong attended the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Millenniums" today, he said that the school curriculum review task force submitted a report on the reform of general education in September this year. It recommended that general education should be maintained as a compulsory exam, content should be deleted, and learning concepts should be clarified. , Teaching materials need to be reviewed, etc., and the curriculum changes announced by the bureau are roughly the same as the opinions of the task force.
Hope to free up more space for students to choose other subjects such as innovation and technology
The difference is that the task force recommends to maintain the grading, but the bureau believes that there is no need for detailed grades to assess students' abilities. It is enough to know whether the standards are met.
He also pointed out that the change is to free up more space for students to choose other subjects, such as innovation and technology, and also have more opportunities for students to do other studies.
Yang Runxiong emphasized that today's changes are based on the interests of students. He understands that there are opposition or consent voices in the society, and the bureau has always had opinions.
Yang Runxiong also pointed out that the purpose of the new subjects has not changed. They all hope to train students to think about social and global issues from multiple perspectives. He also responded to the task force's criticism that the curriculum is too broad.
When asked that the decision of the bureau was different from the recommendations of the task force, he responded that the group submitted its opinions from a professional perspective. The bureau considers future education policy trends, social opinions, and requirements for students. For example, the value education of national identity is also very important. It is normal for the Education Bureau to have different opinions from the expert group."
