The Education Bureau announced earlier that all newly appointed teachers in public sector schools must pass the Basic Law test before they can be considered for employment.
The authorities held the first round of the Basic Law test today (8th). Some candidates pointed out that the questions were not too difficult and did not ask questions about the National Security Law or its annexes.
Candidates also compared this time with the Civil Service Bureau's "Basic Law" test, and believed that this time the questions were more focused on the power of the National People's Congress, and at least 3 to 4 of the 15 questions were related to the National People's Congress.
However, candidates also pointed out that this time is generally easier than the test conducted by the Civil Service Bureau.
The Education Bureau held the first round of the "Basic Law" test at Queen Elizabeth Secondary School today, and pointed out that the content and format also refer to the same kind of tests conducted by the Civil Service Bureau, and today's arrangement will be held in a pilot format for teachers, and another round is tentatively scheduled to be held in February 2022 test.
At about 10 o'clock this morning, nearly 100 candidates entered the examination room, and many continued to bury their heads in revision.
Candidates left one after another until 11:30 in the morning. Some candidates who did not wish to be named pointed out that the exam consists of 15 multiple-choice questions and must be completed within 20 minutes.
Before the exam, she used the mobile application for taking the Civil Service Bureau's Basic Law test to review, but the questions "are all different", so she didn't know how to answer some of the questions.
Candidate Miss Chen teaches mathematics and visual arts in a subsidized primary school. She pointed out that nearly 100 people took the test in the examination room. Together with scanning measures such as "travel with ease", it took about an hour.
She said that she had also taken a similar test by the Civil Service Bureau a few years ago. She believes that this time the question is more about what powers the National People's Congress has. What does the emblem look like, what elements it contains, and what it means, etc., "a topic that will be taught in elementary school common sense".
However, Ms. Chen said with a smile that she must study before the exam. "You can't just rely on common sense to pass the exam." She looked up the provisions of the "Basic Law" on the Internet to review.
As for the reasons for taking the test, she pointed out that although she did not plan to transfer to a school to teach, she planned to "take the test first" for future needs.
When asked about in the future, if the Education Bureau requires teachers to take an oath or take the National Security Law test, she is also worried, "I don't know that after taking the oath, the rights will become a point, only walking and walking."
