It’s less than two weeks than Chief Executive Leung Chung-ying’s cabinet was sworn in yet one minister, Development Secretary, Mak Chai-kwong, has already resigned and been arrested by the ICAC. Others are under investigation. It’s a further blow to already shaky public confidence in the integrity of some members of the new administration. + ?9 @6 A5 w( U6 U1 W3 U# v

According to the Education Bureau, the subject of Moral and National Education should be implemented in primary schools in the 2012 to 2013 school year and secondary schools the following year. But new controversy arose this week over the handbook the “China Model - National Conditions Teaching Handbook”. This handbook was published by the National Education Services Centre, which is run by the pro-Beijing Hong Kong Federation of Education Workers.The federation was chosen by the Education Bureau after a tendering exercise, and receives an annual government subsidy of more than ten million dollars.The 34-page handbook focuses on the political system of China.On page 10, it describes China’s one-party government as “progressive, selfless and united”. It also says that’s unlike Western democratic countries like the United States, where different political parties fight with each other, which results in the suffering of the people. + v6 V' |2 ]0 _.

With us in the studio to discuss national education are Tanya Chan, vice-Chair of the Legco Education Panel, To Kar-hing the chairman of the Hong Kong Moral and National Education Teachers’ Association, and Heidi Ma from the students’ group, Scholarism. We did ask the Education Bureau to send a representative, but the bureau declined. tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb/ T$ Q2 D+ Y4 h

I was really impressed by Heidi's clarity of thought. As for the Mr. To, a self-proclaimed advocate of the manual, repeatedly said we should encourage discussion in various perspectives despite the limited or one-sided viewpoint offered by the manual. Even the host is a bit agitated by Mr. To's monotonous defense, and Mr. To resorted to the comparison with the colonial days of Hong Kong government. That looks pretty lame argument to me to say the least. That as well sheds some light on the mindset of those behind the manual whose name is a misnomer. Heidi is absolutely correct that the book should provide basic materials, i.e. information and facts, before the teacher can engage the students in discussion involving various or diverse viewpoints. In Heidi, I still see a glimmer of hope though it is faint.
