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 righteousness 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.
