HK schools hold various activities on 20th CPC National Congress

Secondary schools in Hong Kong on Sunday organized teachers to watch live broadcast of the opening session of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, as part of their planned activities, including holding quizzes, competitions and sharing sessions at regular morning assemblies, to help the students and faculties better understand the importance of the event.

School principals stressed that CPC's national congress is of vital importance for the development of the country and the world as it will affect the personal development of every young student, and schools should let students know the relevant content.

Wong Yik-kwan, vice-principal of HKFEW Wong Cho Bau Secondary School, located in Islands District, said the school had arranged for teachers and faculty members to watch the opening session of the congress so that the teachers will be better prepared to mull on how to integrate it into classes when teaching.

In addition, Wong said the school has arranged its principal to introduce the highlights of the 20th CPC National Congress to students at the morning assembly on Monday. The school will also introduce news materials about the 20th CPC National Congress in the class and hold quiz sessions in the following week to deepen the students' understanding of the congress.

Wong said it is important for students to understand the congress as it provides an important guideline for the nation's future development and Hong Kong's future is closely intertwined with that of the country's.

Wong Ching-Yung, principal of Scientia Secondary School located in Kowloon, said Hong Kong schools should be aware of the 20th CPC National Congress, as it is related to the future development of 1.4 billion compatriots and may even influence the global situation.

Ng Wun-kit, principal of Pui Kiu Middle School located in North Point, said the school has organized teachers to pre-study the material related to the 20th CPC National Congress and encouraged teachers and students to pay close attention to the congress.

Ng said he arranged teachers to learn about the congress in advance and encouraged the students and teachers to keep an eye on the event. The school is also considering holding relevant study session later.

Tang Fei, lawmaker and vice-chairman of the Hong Kong Federation of Education Workers, suggested schools prep students' basic knowledge about the CPC, such as its organizational structure, before learning about the 20th CPC National Congress. Teachers can refer to the official news website of CPC to prepare lessons, Tang added.
