The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) held the eighth session of the “NPC and NCCPPCC Talk Series”, with the theme “Exploring Chinese History Development and the future of China from the Perspective of Education” on 15 November at the North Point Study Centre. The event featured Mr Wong Kam-leung, the Hong Kong deputy to the 14th National People’s Congress and the Chairman of the Hong Kong Federation of Education Workers, and Mr Ho Hon-kuen, the HKSAR member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and principal of Centre of National History Education (Hong Kong), as keynote speakers, discussing the significance of Chinese history education and the future of education development.

Mr Wong Kam-leung shared the significant achievements in education that our country has made over the past 75 years. He suggested that under the new era of development, the Hong Kong SAR government should enhance academic exchanges and collaborations with Mainland to continuously improve the quality and international standards of education, while fostering a deeper understanding of the nation and a sense of national identity among the youth.

Mr Ho Hon-kuen explained that learning Chinese history could help understanding the development of the country, as well as fostering a profound appreciation of Chinese culture. He added that through the study of Chinese history, students could strengthen their sense of national identity and patriotism.

President Professor John Lee Chi-Kin concluded that education is crucial for advancing innovation and nurturing talent. He said that Chinese history education helps students appreciate the remarkable journey of China, inspiring them to make more meaningful contributions to the country.
