香港特別行政區實施國家安全教育的指引今年2月發布,指引幼稚園、小學、中學、國際學校和大學如何實施國家安全教育。 持份者的初步回應表明,他們現在正在積極實施有關準則,其中最重要的是教師逐步適應要求。

教育工作者肩負國家安全教育責任

根據教育局第3/2021號通告,即〈國家安全:維持安全學習環境,培養良好公民〉文件,不僅幼兒園、中小學的校監和校長必須閱讀此通告,提供非正規課程的所有私立學校校監和校長也必須閱讀。

通告旨在就實施《香港國安法》向學校提供有關學校行政和教育的指引。通告重申《基本法》第1條和第12條強調,香港特別行政區是中華人民共和國不可分離的一部分。 因此,維護國家主權,安全和發展利益,是全體香港居民,包括學校教職員、家長和學生的共同義務。 通告詳細介紹了《香港國安法》,強調國家安全的概念是全面的,除了涵蓋國土安全、政治安全和軍事安全外,亦可包括經濟安全、文化安全、社會安全、科技安全、生態安全和網絡安全等。

過去10年,許多內地學者已就關於國家安全的各個方面廣泛進行論述。通告並未包括來自內地的參考資料,而是將落實國家安全教育的責任交給學校,但學校的教職員可以並且應該參考內地的論述,以獲得有用的課程準備資料。

通告聚焦於教育工作者落實國家安全教育的責任,涉及《香港國安法》第9條規定香港特別行政區應當加強維護國家安全工作及防範恐怖活動,以及第10條關於香港特別行政區應當通過學校、社會團體、媒體、網絡等進行國家安全教育。

通知第10節強調,所有學校都有責任「盡早檢視及適當地制定措施,促進學生有效學習」,包括:一、確保所有學校教職員均秉持專業操守,遵守法律及社會接受的行為準則;二、加強防範和制止在學校進行任何違法的教學和活動,預防並處理政治或其他違法活動入侵校園;三、幫助學生「正確地認識《香港國安法》及國家安全所涵蓋的重要理念,讓他們了解法治精神,從而加強他們國家安全的觀念和守法意識,培養他們成為守法的良好公民」。

教育界積極準備落實國家安全教育

因此,辦學團體應領導所屬學校的校董會或學校管理委員會,為學校制定與維護國家安全及國家安全教育相關的具體措施,包括:學校行政、校舍管理、資源運用、人事管理、教職員培訓、與持份者溝通、學與教、學生訓育和輔導、學生組織及活動等方面,並向其屬校發信或通告,提示屬校在不同工作範疇需注意的事項。學校亦應落實獲學校管治機構通過的跟進工作及相關計劃,並向教育局提交獲學校管治機構通過的工作計劃及年度報告。

最重要的是,學校管理層必須「竭力維護平和有序的校園環境和氣氛,協助學生建立正確的價值觀及國民身份認同,促進學生學習及健康成長」。因此,學校必須謹慎處理有關教學和非教學人員的「操守及工作表現」,保障學生的褔祉。

學校管理層及教職員必須向學生宣導「正確了解國家歷史和發展、國家安全、國旗、國徽和國歌的重要性,以及根據《基本法》為香港特別行政區制定的憲制秩序」。 包括教學人員和非教學人員在內的員工績效評估,必須考慮他們如何遵守職業道德並遵守行為準則。 國際學校需要擬定指引,以確保校園在政治上保持中立,「沒有任何非法活動」。

總之,教育界所有持份者必須積極準備和參與落實國家安全教育,而教師則需要時間來適應新課程並接受在職專業培訓。父母自然希望子女是守法的市民,而學生必接受遵守法律的教育,並更深入了解國家和國家安全。 因此,香港教育格局發生根本性轉變是必然的事。


National Security Education in Hong Kong: Implementation and Adaptation

The guidelines on the implementation of national security education in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) were published in February 2021, leading to the process of how kindergarten, primary schools, secondary schools, international schools and universities can implement then. Initial responses from stakeholders have shown that they are now actively implement the guidelines, including most importantly the gradual adaptation of teachers.

According to the Education Bureau Circular No. 3/2021, entitled “National security: maintaining a safe learning environment nurturing good citizens,” this circular must be read by not only supervisors and heads of kindergarten, primary and secondary schools for action, but also supervisors and heads of all private schools offering non-formal curriculum for information.

The circular provides the guidelines on school administration to implement the national security law of the HKSAR. It emphasizes that Articles 1 and 12 of the Hong Kong Basic Law stress the HKSAR is an inalienable part of the PRC. As such, it is the common responsibility of all Hong Kong residents, including school staff, parents and students, to safeguard the national sovereignty, security and developmental interest of the central government. The circular introduces the national security law in detail, emphasizing that the concept of national security is comprehensive, embracing political security, territorial integrity, and other spheres militarily, economically, culturally, socially, technologically, ecologically, and in cybersecurity.

In the past decade, many mainland academics wrote extensively in all these dimensions of national security. The circular did not include any references from the mainland sources, leaving the task of implementation to the schools, whose teachers however can and should consult the mainland sources for useful reference and lessons preparation.

The circular focuses on the responsibilities of educators to implement national security education, referring to Article 9 of the national security law that requires the HKSAR to strengthen its work of safeguarding national security, and to Article 10 on the need for the HKSAR to promote national security education in all schools and universities.

Section 10 of the circular stresses that it is incumbent on all schools “to review as early as possible and devise appropriate measures in respect of school planning and management, staff management, and other relevant areas to facilitate students’ effective learning,” which embrace (1) the need for all school staff to abide by the code of conduct and professional ethics, (2) the prevention and suppression of teaching and school activities that are in breach of the Basic Law and national security law, and (3) the assistance offered to let students “gain a correct understanding of the legislative background, message, importance and significance of the national security law” and the enhancement of their “national security and law-abiding awareness.” Moreover, although the management systems and curricula of international schools and other private schools differ from the local curricula, they have the responsibility to help their students to “acquire a correct and objective understanding and appreciation of the concept of national security and the national security law, as well as the duty to cultivate a law-abiding spirit among their students.”

Hence, school sponsoring bodies, incorporated management committees and school management committees should perform their functions and take measures to safeguard national security in schools. The school sponsoring bodies are obligated to give directives to the school governing authority to ensure that measures are taken to safeguard national security and to implement national security education. These measures include school management, resources deployment, staff training, stakeholder’s communication, teaching and learning, student’s guidance and discipline, on-campus activities, student associations and activities, and the review and evaluation of the implementation process.

Most importantly, the school governance authority must create a “peaceful and orderly school environment” and “make all efforts to maintain a campus free from political interference so that the school’s normal operation and students’ learning are not affected.” Schools are obligated to ensure the “proper use of school premises,” including the hiring of school premises to outside organizations for holding activities.

School management and managers are required to promote to students “a correct understanding among students of the country’s history and development, the importance of national security, the national flag, national emblem and national anthem, as well as the constitutional order established for the HKSAR under the Constitution and the Basic Law.” The performance appraisal of staff members, including teaching and non-teaching staff, must consider how they uphold professional ethics and observe the code of conduct. International schools need to draw up guidelines to ensure that the campus is a politically neutral place “free of illegal activities.”

To help schools implement national security education, the Education Department Bureau (EDB) drew up a very detailed 36-page specific measures, which delineate the responsibilities of school managers, and the role of different functional team members and coordinators, such as crisis management team, teachers’ professional development team, academic affairs team, curriculum leader, and student pastoral care team (including guidance, discipline, extra-curricular activities, and life-planning).

The specific learning areas and subjects that implement national security education are mentioned. At the primary level, these areas include (1) general studies, (2) life-wide learning, (3) moral, civic and national education, and (4) other subject panels and teams deemed suitable by the schools. At the secondary level, these areas include (1) personal, social and humanities education; (2) science education: (3) technology education; (4) liberal studies; (5) life-wide learning; (6) moral, civic and national education; and (7) other subject panels deemed appropriate by the school.

Discipline work, according to the specific measures, should recognize students’ efforts and positive behavior. If students breach the law under the undue influence of others, then teachers should “teach the students of the affected class/level how to stand firm against such influence through the related curriculum and guidance activities or seeking assistance from external services.” If the student concerned refuses to correct his or her misbehavior, punishment should be imposed. If external organizations were involved, the school “should record all information collected during the interview, including the date, time, venue, persons, organizations involved” and may seek advice or help firm the police community relations officer of the police district concerned.

On April 10, Secretary for Education Kevin Yeung revealed that, from the anti-extradition movement in 2019 to the present, 200 cases of complaints were received by the EDB and 40 cases were established with prima facie evidence. Only one case was concerned with the deregistration of a teacher concerned. As such, the complaints were about a minority of teachers. When asked by the Commercial Radio host about the suggestion from some patriotic legislators that closed-circuit televisions should be installed in classrooms to observe teachers’ performance, Yeung said that such a move would affect the privacy of students and that he would like to listen to the views from parents.

Yeung’s department prepares to add 30 hours of on-the-job training for all teachers to be more familiar with China’s development and the concept of national security. He added that the anti-extradition controversy was not only attributable to education alone, although education must be improved in Hong Kong. The Commercial Radio’s “Politics and Economics on Saturday” program host asked him further whether politically sensitive issues about China, such as the 1989 Tiananmen incident and the recent Xinjiang cotton controversy, should be taught, Yeung replied that these issues would be up to the teachers’ decision in the teaching and learning experiences, but a balanced perspective mentioning China’s positions should be articulated.

Some teachers at the secondary school level had already told the media that they would avoid teaching sensitive subjects to avoid becoming unnecessarily the target of complaints by anyone, including students and parents.

While principals and teachers are actively preparing for the implementation of the national security education, a minority of teachers who have been deeply concerned decided to leave the teaching profession. Some others opted for emigration for family or other reasons. An overwhelming majority of teachers are staying in their profession and adapting to the new curriculum changes, including the revamped liberal studies curriculum which was criticized as politicizing the secondary school teachers and stimulating their political activism.

Supporters of liberal studies reform argued that the curriculum was too complex, while opponents maintained that the new “civic education and social development” curriculum lacks the component of critical thinking. One thing is certain: while the liberal studies curriculum was introduced in 2009 as one of the core four subjects at the senior secondary level, it is now regarded as a subject necessitating reforms in the direction of having just pass or failed basis. The dilution of liberal studies curriculum is accompanied by the introduction and enhancement of the national security education, implying that the former must be reformed in favor of the latter.

At the university level, national security education can be included in, for example, several weeks in a generic course that involves first-year undergraduate students without any difficulty.

In conclusion, the implementation of national security education is underway with the active preparation and participation of all stakeholders. Principals and school authorities must implement it, while it takes time for teachers to adapt to the new curriculum and undergo on-the-job professional training. Parents naturally expect that their children are law-abiding citizens, while students must be educated to abide by the law and understand both national security and China in a much deeper manner. As such, a fundamental transformation of the educational landscape in the HKSAR is natural and embraced.
