nice headline. what is utterly missing is an understanding that the purpose of the educational process is to provide tools to inform a lively debate that then serves to establish acceptance of a community narritive that most buy into.
Consensus by dictation is actually counter productive as even the CCP has discovered. In fact it incentivises the non return of Chinese Scholars. Thus the real need to still use family as a soft hostage. This also explains the serious enthusiasm for the successfull and wealthy to send their parents overseas along with their children.
As I have posted, I do believe all this will soon come to an end.
If not, I also think that Canada could do no better deal than to establish a New Hong Kong on hte Salish Sea and allow all to come, thus ending the present status as a black mail chip for the CCP.

"No Room For Debate": Beijing Imposes Sweeping Pro-China Curriculum On Hong Kong Schools

Schools have been ordered to adopt the curriculum which instills "an affection for the Chinese people" and while at the same time weeding out potentially disloyal teachers. "As far as national security is concerned, there is no room for debate or compromise," the new security directive for schools reads ominously.
The measures were announced late Thursday and as Bloomberg details, "will require primary and secondary school students to memorize the law's offenses, which include subversion, secession, subversion, terrorism and collusion with foreign powers."
And further, "Authorities are also looking to incorporate national security education into all subjects, from geography to biology, the government said in a statement."
While it remains unclear (and highly dystopian) just how it is that "national security education" will be incorporated into something like science and biology, Beijing has long suspected Hong Kong's youth of being the main problem behind recent unrest. The mainland further blamed a "foreign hand" to the rolling protests and unrest of recent years.
China's Education Bureau was cited as saying the following:
The fundamentals of national security education are to develop in students a sense of belonging to the country, an affection for the Chinese people, a sense of national identity, as well as an awareness of and a sense of responsibility for safeguarding national security.
As far as prevention and education are concerned, schools have a significant role to play.
The rolling and increasingly aggressive protests which saw entire districts of Hong Kong grind to a halt in 2019 into the early part of 2020 were largely driven by young people, in particular college and no doubt high school students as well. There were a number of instances of students ditching school en masse in order to join the anti-mainland protest movement.
