This academic year, PolyU has integrated national security education into the "Tomorrow's Leader" course, which takes 3 hours. The only teaching material that says "National Security Law is above other laws, such as the Basic Law," is controversial.

The course also includes the unopened primaries, the HKU Student Council case, and the Tang Yingjie case on appeal.
