Given that the 2012 "anti-state religion movement", the 2014 "Occupy Action", and the 2019 "anti-revision turmoil" were all dominated by young students, the society from time to time sparked discussions about young people's lack of national awareness, while front-line teachers were regarded as A major obstacle to the failure to popularize patriotic education.
