"Rectify the name" for patriotism education

The current Chief Executive Li Jiachao's campaign has four major policies.

Its core policy includes "optimizing the future of education equipment", which focuses on strengthening the professional ethics and training of teachers' professional education and training. , Commending teachers with both talents and comprehensive teachers' professional development; and enriching the national education system and improving the national consciousness and national identity of students. Some commented that in recent years, Hong Kong's education has accumulated a lot of serious disadvantages and problems, and the natural education of natural and righteous people has been wantonly stigmatized by the opposition. Therefore, teachers have undoubtedly played a very critical role for promoting patriotic education. They must optimize the current teacher registration system, add elements of national education and national security education in the training course, and consider that the requirements can be passed regularly before they can continue to register. The SAR Government should also increase resources to strengthen support for teachers' promotion of national conditions, and fund teachers to regularly exchange and inspect the Mainland.

Not only does there be exhibition halls, but many activities will be invited to invite schools to participate. Whether it is teacher training or student patriotism education activities. The scale of these activity plans will become larger and larger, and the coverage is getting wider and wider.

Deng Fei believes that the most important thing about promoting patriotism education is teaching materials and curriculum authority. "If classroom teaching is not done, extracurricular activities cannot make up for in -class teaching." As for the textbook, he said that there should be an authoritative interpretation.
