Amendment to List "Mandatory Learning Experiences" for Secondary Schools Passed
Cai Ruolian, director of the Education Bureau, believes that to attract students to study Chinese history, we should start with the teaching model, rather than a one-size-fits-all "compulsory and compulsory test". He has reservations about the original proposal.
Election Committee member Guan Haoming proposed an amendment, arguing that the compulsory subject of Chinese history would bring problems such as teacher manpower, so the amendment was to "list Chinese history as a "must learn experience" for the entire middle school stage."
At the meeting, many people were worried about the pressure on students to study. Leung Ziying, who is a teacher from the Federation of Trade Unions, said that many students worried that they would not be able to cope with the four compulsory subjects and chose other ways to enter their studies. Students are disgusted, exacerbating the loss of students, and will also affect the school's staffing arrangements.
Deng Jiabiao likes Chinese history but got B in the final exam: These girls have passed me
Deng Jiabiao of the Federation of Trade Unions said that he likes history since then. He has read more than 80 volumes of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" in junior high school. They beat me with their handwriting, and those girls beat me with their reciting." He thinks that Chinese history has shortcomings in the test scores, so there will be difficulties in the compulsory subjects of Zhongshi Lie high school.
Wu Qiubei, president of the Federation of Trade Unions, expressed his support for Liu Zhipeng's motion, saying that Chinese civilization is the only civilization that has never been interrupted for thousands of years. On the other hand, Western history and civilization are "spreading doubts" everywhere, saying that ancient Greece and Rome "mostly are myths that do not exist. "Pseudo-History," while modern history is mostly about wars, aggression, colonial plunder, and "extreme evil."

Lu Weiguo worried about the need to reduce other subjects and the lack of teachers
Lu Weiguo, from the Democratic Federation, is worried about whether the addition of compulsory Chinese history in high schools will affect the overall high school curriculum structure and the restrictions on students' choice of subjects, such as the need to reduce technology-related subjects.
Election Committee Jie Lin Zhexuan read the preface of Qian Mu's "Outline of National History" in his speech: "It is believed that the citizens of any country, especially those who claim to have knowledge above the level, should know a little about the past history of their country. Otherwise, at most One can only be counted as a knowledgeable person, not a knowledgeable citizen. The so-called people who have a little knowledge of their country’s past history must be accompanied by a kind of warmth and respect for their country’s past history.”
Lin Zhexuan believes that history teaching should allow students to grasp the time frame, have a map in their minds, and at the same time be able to read clearly.
"When we read the story of Surrounding Wei and Rescuing Zhao, where did Qi, Wei, and Zhao live?" If you don't have an understanding of the historical framework, reading history is like "reading the morning towers in Haishi City when you are wandering in the stars, and you can't find your roots."
