The 12-year senior high school general education subject "countdown" entered history, and the new school year was gradually replaced by the Civic and Social Development Section.
Ms. Chen, a recent graduate of general education at the university, was in her final year of studying, but she was helpless to witness the "makeover" of the liberal arts subject.
She described the new subject as being completely different, no longer attaching importance to critical thinking, losing the original educational purpose, worrying about becoming a "brainwashing" teacher in the industry, and deciding to refuse to enter the industry and abandoning the wish of the previous journal.

Praise the multi-angle and critical thinking of general education training
Miss Chen, a recent graduate of university general education, loves to study general education in high school. She describes this subject as different. The course is close to current affairs, the content is not dull, and there is no need to "endorse". It trains multi-angle and critical thinking, and allows students to have multiple ideas. Always enjoy the learning process.
Enlightened by a middle school teacher, she became interested in education. She hopes to become a teacher and influence her life with her life. She also aspires to teach general education and hopes to inherit teaching.
Unexpectedly, in the last year of the university, the news of the "changing" of the liberal arts course was ushered in. The Education Bureau issued an order to replace the liberal arts course with the civil and social development course, and the dream could not be realized.
Ms. Chen recalled that when the Education Bureau announced the "makeover" of the Liberal Studies Department, she was preparing for the lesson plans, and she was immediately angry.

"It's not enough to teach general knowledge, so I can read it and do it?"
At the end of November last year, the Education Bureau announced that the Liberal Studies subject would be "revised" and later named the Civic and Social Development Section, which will be implemented in September this year.
Ms. Chen still remembers that when she first learned the news, she was preparing for lesson plans and homework. She was helpless and angry at the decision, "I don’t even want to hand in my homework! After finishing the lesson plans at the university, I can use it when I teach at the school in the future to practice my studies. After a while, suddenly it’s impossible to teach general education. I need to teach commune science. Why should I read it? It seems that I have to follow it if we know it is not useful.” She criticized the authorities for not considering the prospects of general education students.” If you know that the subject will be cancelled in a few years, you will not be able to admit students early in the morning. If you say something early in the morning, we will not become a victim. The cancellation of general education is a news prophet."
As the graduation day approached, her anger faded and she felt helpless. "It seems that everyone is slowly being forced to accept this fact, because you have no choice. One department teaches commune and the other department does not teach."
Faced with major changes, Ms. Chen finally chose not to become a teacher after several struggles.

Criticize the commune science for weakening civil rights education assessment as a mere recitation
Should she join the profession to teach communal sciences, Ms. Chen had struggled many times, and finally decided to give up her volunteerism.
She believes that the revision of the Liberal Studies subject is "unrecognizable", weakening civil rights education, and no longer attaches importance to thinking training. She gave examples of the lack of high-level thinking questions in the social science examination papers, and added multiple-choice questions. A multiple-choice question proves that there is only one answer."
Two-thirds of the content of the new subject curriculum is related to national conditions, including talks about national achievements, national security education, etc. The curriculum guidelines also standardize the discussion space, making her resist teaching communal social sciences. "Brainwashing", but constantly instilling the same in students, it will gradually become imperceptible."
There are no textbooks and evaluation criteria for Commune in the new school year. The Education Bureau currently only provides one-third of the subject materials for the curriculum. Until graduation, she still has not fully grasped the specific content of the teaching, which makes her reluctant to venture into the turbulent education world. Some teachers were pinned for remarks and internally investigated. They didn't know the bottom line, and they slowly changed to the point that they didn't dare to teach."
Ms. Chen joined another industry after graduation, hoping that her peers in the education sector will never forget their original intentions.

Buying general knowledge textbook "Preserving History"
After spending four years working hard to study for a bachelor's degree, her unfinished ambitions seem to have been spent, "I can't predict that I can witness the disappearance of this subject!" After graduation, she joined another industry. She has been reluctant to give up the subject and purchased it earlier. General education textbooks, I hope that history can be preserved.
Under the "red line" of education, she believes that students cannot talk freely about social movement and the rule of law in the commune.
The university general education courses she originally studied have been discontinued. Although the prospects of the subject have become bleak, she hopes that her peers will not forget their original intentions, "Those who have studied general education and those who have had critical thinking, remember to learn what they have learned, remember It’s wrong, it’s not like time diluting past events.”
