每名考大學入學試的同學，均竭力考好這門必修、必考及必計的科目，但中史科卻被"拆科"，要與其他科目合併教授，失去專科的地位。
Every candidate sitting for the university entrance examination has to make strenuous efforts to study this subject which must be taken and examined and the score of which be included in the university entrance requirement . Meanwhile Chinese History has lost its status as a specialized subject as it has to be combined with other subjects in teaching
我並非教授中史科，所以只可引述一位心繫中國歷史並備受尊重的老師何漢權老師。
As I am not a Chinese History teacher I can only cite Mr HO Hon - kuen a well - respected teacher who is devoted to the teaching of Chinese history
很多中史科的老師很傷心，被迫轉教其他科目；修讀中史科的同學越來越少。
Many Chinese History teachers were saddened as they were forced to teach other subjects . Fewer and fewer students take Chinese History as an elective
在資源方面，當然遠遠不及通識科，中史科就像翻身無期，遍體鱗傷。
In terms of resources Chinese History is certainly lagging far behind Liberal Studies
我自2008年加入立法會後，一直向教育局提出，中史不應納入通識科。
Since I became a Member of the Legislative Council in 2008 I have been urging the Education Bureau not to incorporate Chinese History into Liberal Studies
通識科本身沒有syllabus，有人甚至提出要完全下放權力，任由學校老師自行選擇，把很多中國的國情在通識科內教授，中史科被完全拆散，結果導致目前的景況。
There is no syllabus for Liberal Studies . Some people even suggested a total devolution by allowing school teachers to decide whether or not to include a number of national issues in the teaching of Liberal Studies . The syllabus of Chinese History has been completely taken apart resulting in the current situation
影響似乎已經浮現。
The impact seems to have surfaced
現時四大主修科中，通識科的"帶頭地位"最為明顯，我們希望中史科同樣獲得重視。
Of the four major compulsory subjects at present Liberal Studies has apparently taken the leading position . We hope that Chinese History will be given the same emphasis
我認為應騰出時間和空間讓學生修讀中史科，提高他們的興趣。
I consider it necessary to set aside time and space for the teaching of Chinese history in order to raise the interests of students
希望教育局不要再迴避這個問題，事不宜遲。
I hope that the Education Bureau will no longer shun this issue which brooks no delay . Teachers and students alike should pay good respect to Chinese history
老師和學生應好好尊重中史科，我們的下一代不能不承認自己的祖先，否則便會受到國際社會所耻笑，反映香港教育制度的失敗。
Our next generation must recognize our own ancestors . Otherwise we will become the laughing stock of the international community . This will also reflect the failure of Hong Kongs education system
我希望局長能真正徹底反省。
I hope that the Secretary can truly thoroughly reflect on this issue
我支持張國鈞議員的議案。
I support the motion moved by Mr CHEUNG Kwok - kwan
對於應否規定初中中國歷史獨立成科及將之列為必修科，我很有保留。
I have reservations about requiring the teaching of Chinese history as an independent subject at junior secondary level and making the subject compulsory
首先，我想指出，教育局今年9月28日展開中史課程第一階段諮詢，但為期短短1個月的諮詢能否給予社會及前線教育人員充分時間，理解、討論和反思這個議題？
First of all I would like to say that the Education Bureau launched the first stage consultation on the Chinese History curriculum on 28 September this year . However can a one - month consultation give the community and frontline education personnel sufficient time to understand discuss and reflect on this issue?
政府是否把落實初中中史必修科當成硬任務，意圖霸王硬上弓，配合在校園嚴厲打壓學生討論香港前途的政治任務？
Does the Government consider stipulating Chinese History as a compulsory subject at junior secondary level an imperative task intending to force it through so as to tie in with the political task of seriously suppressing students discussions about the future of Hong Kong at school?
第二，當政權仍然不肯直接面對自己的所作所為，由這個政權推動的歷史教育不可能公正持平。
Secondly when the regime still refuses to face up to it has done the history education promoted by such a regime will not possibly be fair and impartial
如果課程改革強調"古今並重"，加入近代史的目的是要建立對國家，即對中共的認同，課程應該由誰訂立及如何訂立？
If the curriculum reform emphasizes attaching equal weight to past and present the purpose of including contemporary history in the curriculum is to cultivate peoples recognition of the country that is the Communist Party of China CPC; who then should be responsible for designing the curriculum and how the curriculum should be developed?
是否只對中國天朝的盛世歌功頌德，但對其暴行卻一律不提？
Should we only sing praises of the flourishing periods of the Chinese empire but mention nothing about its atrocities?
會否提及中共對藏區的暴行，會否提及中共自1953年起摧毀藏區宗教，侵略藏民基本人權，壓制他們傳統上的特有文化和宗教生活習慣，剝奪藏民自決權的暴行？
Will we mention the atrocities of CPC in the Tibetan areas? . Will we mention CPCs destruction of the Tibetan religion violation of the basic human rights of Tibetans suppression of Tibetans unique traditional cultural and religious habits and deprivation of Tibetans right to self - determination since 1953?
會否提到中共在反右運動中迫害知識分子和異議人士的歷史？
Will we mention the history of CPCs oppression of the intellectuals and dissidents in the anti - rightist movement?
會否提及李旺陽？
Will we mention LI Wangyang?
會否提及近期對維權律師的打壓和迫害？
Will we mention the recent suppression and persecution of human rights lawyers?
當六四和維權律師等字眼在中國網站仍然被禁止，我們不能夠相信由這個政權所推動的近代歷史教育是客觀、公正和持平的。
When words such as 4 June and the human rights lawyers are still banned in Chinese websites we cannot believe that contemporary history education as promoted by this regime will be objective fair and impartial
第三，今天我們必須提防"國族主義"進一步在香港肆虐，對北京的"人心回歸工程"也必須加以警惕。
Thirdly today we must guard against the further raging of nationalism in Hong Kong and we must be vigilant of Beijings heart - winning projects
近日由梁、游宣誓引起的風波，導致親中政團及報章再次發動輿論攻勢，認為"港獨"思潮是基於香港青年人對中華民族了解不足、對國家認同感不足，因而再度大力要求教育局規定初中中史獨立成科和將之列為必修科目，以增強對民族和國家的認同。
The recent saga arising from the oath - taking of Sixtus LEUNG and YAU Wai - ching has resulted in another round of attack launched by pro - Chinese political groups and the press stating that the Hong Kong independence ideology was attributed to young peoples lack of understanding of the Chinese nation as well as their lack of national identification with the country . Therefore the Education Bureau is again strongly urged to require the teaching of Chinese history as an independent subject at junior secondary level and make the subject compulsory so as to enhance peoples sense of identification with the nation and the country
前中聯辦官員強世功在2008年發表有關中國香港的著作，當中有很多駭人言論，當年沒有太多人討論這本書，但今天相關言論已經成為北京對香港的治港方針。
QIANG Shigong a former official of the Liaison Office of the Central Peoples Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region published a book on China Hong Kong in 2008 . While the astounding remarks raised in that book had not aroused much discussion at that time such remarks have now become Beijings guiding principles for ruling Hong Kong
例如，這本書第86頁提到"早晚有一天，中國要完全同化香港人，因為爭取人心不是經濟實惠所能實現的，最重要面對人心領地的文化戰爭"。
For instance it is mentioned in page 86 of the book that Sooner or later China has to fully assimilate Hong Kong people because the hearts of people cannot be won by providing economic and material benefits . It is most important to wage a cultural warfare to win the hearts of the people
我們從強世功的著作可見，中共要打一場爭取人心領地的文化戰爭，令所有香港人成為百分百的中國人，這樣才能切實解決香港的政治問題。
As we can see from QIANG Shigongs book CPC has to wage a cultural warfare to win the hearts of the people turning all Hong Kong people into out - and - out Chinese people so as to practically resolve the political issues of Hong Kong
當親中報章和團體的言論表明，討論規定初中中史獨立成科和將之列為必修科是要建立對中國和國家的認同，我們便必須加以警惕。
As stated by pro - China press and organizations requiring the teaching of Chinese history as an independent subject at junior secondary level and making the subject compulsory serve the purpose of establishing a sense of identification with China . We must therefore be vigilant
這個題目已經成為中共爭取人心領地文化戰爭的重要陣地。
This topic has become an important battlefield for CPCs cultural warfare to win the hearts of the people
歷史教育十分重要，但我們一定要問應如何學習歷史及從甚麼角度學習歷史。
While history education is very important we must ask how history should be studied and from what perspectives should the study be conducted
事實上，六四屠城後，中共的管治合法性已經全面崩潰，只能靠推動民族主義和經濟發展來維持其管治合法性，只要這兩大支柱的其中一條崩潰，中國的管治基礎也會蕩然無存。
In fact after the 4 June massacre the legitimacy of CPCs governance had totally collapsed and the legitimacy of its rule can only be sustained by promoting nationalism and economic development . So long as one of the two pillars collapses the foundation of Chinas governance will perish
因此，在中國大陸或香港大力推動民族主義，一直以來都是中共的政治任務。
Therefore the vigorous promotion of nationalism in Mainland China or Hong Kong has always been a political task of CPC
我們必須對中共的治港藍圖和手段加以警惕，不能讓教育局任意以修訂課程為名，推動民族主義、"洗腦"教育為實，規定初中中史獨立成科。
We must be vigilant against CPCs blueprints and practices for ruling Hong Kong and we must not allow the Education Bureau to in the name of curriculum revision arbitrarily promote nationalism and brainwashing education by requiring the teaching of Chinese history as an independent subject at junior secondary level
這最終可能只是"人心回歸工程"的一部分，換言之，讓2012年胎死腹中的國民教育借屍還魂。
This may eventually become a part of the heart - winning project . In other words the reincarnation of national education that was stillborn in 2012
事實上，我們現時面對一連串政治打壓，可能香港人很快便會連討論自決的言論自由也被剝奪。
In fact in the face of a series of political suppression at present Hong Kong people may soon be deprived of the freedom to engage in discussions on self - determination
我想告訴吳克儉、北京和保皇黨，規定初中中史獨立成科和將之列為必修科，以及推動"人心回歸工程"都不能改變香港人對中共的印象，也不能打擊香港人就前途問題進行討論。
I would like to tell Eddie NG the Beijing authorities and the royalists requiring the teaching of Chinese history as an independent subject at junior secondary level making the subject compulsory and promoting the heart - winning project cannot change Hong Kong peoples impression of CPC and cannot stop Hong Kong people from discussing the future
只要八三一決定仍然存在，只要選舉主任仍然可以隨便剝奪參選人的資格，只要《基本法》仍然有第一百五十八條，只要人大仍然能夠隨意僭建香港的法例，甚至剝奪立法會議員的資格，香港人的人心也不可能回歸。
As long as the 31 August Decision is still valid; as long as the Returning Officer can still arbitrarily deprive candidates of the right to stand for election; as long as Article 158 of the Basic Law is still in place; as long as the National Peoples Congress can still arbitrarily add provisions to the laws of Hong Kong and even disqualify Legislative Council Members Hong Kong people will not possibly return to the Motherland in heart
這點非常清楚。
This point is crystal clear
我謹此陳辭，反對張國鈞議員的原議案。
With these remarks I oppose Mr CHEUNG Kwok - kwans original motion
根據《釋義及通則條例》就延展於2016年10月19日提交本會省覽的《〈2016年強制性公積金計劃條例〉公告》的修訂期限而動議的擬議決議案。
Proposed resolution under the Interpretation and General Clauses Ordinance to extend the period for amending the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Amendment Ordinance 2016 Commencement Notice which was laid on the Table of this Council on 19 October 2016
雖然我算不上一位成功的教師，但實踐上也有一些基本理念，就是希望透過自己積極參與社會事務，從而促使學生多討論不同的社會議題，培育他們有獨立思考、判別是非黑白的能力。
Although I cannot be regarded as a successful teacher I still had some fundamental beliefs in practice that is through my active involvement in social affairs I hope to encourage students to have more discussions on different social issues so as to nurture their abilities to think independently and differentiate critically between right and wrong
近日，教育局正就修訂初中中史科課程進行諮詢，而今天張國鈞議員也提出把初中中史獨立成科的議案辯論，讓大家進行討論。
Recently the Education Bureau is conducting a consultation on revising the Chinese History curriculum at junior secondary level and today Mr CHEUNG Kwok - kwan moves a motion debate on requiring the teaching Chinese history as an independent subject at junior secondary level
如果只是單純地要求把中史列為初中必修科並獨立成科，相信爭議性不會很大，因為畢竟目前已有約九成中學開辦初中中史科，而去年香港教育專業人員協會進行的一項調查亦顯示，超過六成中史科教師傾向採用獨立必修成科的模式。
If the issue purely involves stipulating Chinese History as a compulsory and independent subject at junior secondary level I think it will not be too controversial . After all at present about 90 % of secondary schools offer Chinese History at junior secondary level . In a survey conducted by the Hong Kong Professional Teachers Union HKPTU last year it was also revealed that over 60 % of Chinese History teachers preferred adopting the mode of making the subject independent and compulsory
就中史獨立成科而言，社會上已有一定程度的共識，即使不強制初中中史必須獨立成科，亦應規定初中學生必須修習中史科。
As regards stipulating Chinese History as a compulsory subject a consensus has to a certain extent already been fostered across the community . Even if Chinese History is not mandatorily stipulated as an independent subject at junior secondary level the subject should be made compulsory for junior secondary students
可是，社會大眾和教育界更關注的，是中史科的教學內容。
However the general public and the education sector are more concerned about the curriculum of Chinese History
不論是張國鈞議員提出的議案，或是教育界近日提出的諮詢文件，也指出要增加中國近代史的內容，並且要加強有關香港與中國互動關係的內容。
In the motion moved by Mr CHEUNG Kwok - kwan and in the consultation document recently issued by the education sector it is pointed out that more coverage should be given to contemporary history and the interactive relationship between Hong Kong and the Mainland China
政府更進一步建議減少政治史，改為增加文化史和社會史，從而令學生可以更全面地認識中國歷史。
Moreover the Government further proposes to reduce the coverage of political history and increase the coverage of cultural history and social history so that students can have a comprehensive understanding of Chinese history
雖然這番話聽起來很動聽，但觀乎近年梁振英政府只懂向中共獻媚，以及吳克儉局長對學生的表現漠 不關心，實在使人質疑改革後的初中中史科，會否只是洗腦國民教育科"借屍還魂"的現象呢？
This sounds quite appealing . Yet given that the LEUNG Chun - yings Administration has been trying to ingratiating with the Communist Party of China in recent years and Secretary Eddie NG has been indifferent towards students performance one really queries whether the revised Chinese History curriculum at junior secondary level will merely be a reincarnation of the brainwashing national education subject
因此，在提倡初中中史獨立成科前，我們必須確保教學內容客觀和全面。
Therefore before stipulating Chinese History as an independent subject at junior secondary level we must ensure that the curriculum is objective and comprehensive
主席，我希望在此提出改革初中中史科時值得關注的數個問題。
President I would like to raise a few questions worth considering when revising the Chinese History curriculum at junior secondary level
第一，我質疑減少或刪減政治史，繼而增加社會文化史，是否便可以達到所謂的全面性和客觀性呢？
First I doubt whether the so - called comprehensiveness and objectivity may be achieved by excluding or reducing the coverage of political history and subsequently increasing the coverage of social history and cultural history
不少教師批評政府提出的修訂建議過分強調朝代盛世和民族融和，着重於"大一統"思想而減省國家衰亡、起義等內容。
Many teachers criticize the Governments proposed amendments for excessively emphasizing the prosperity of various dynasties and racial harmony as well as focusing on the ideology of unification to the neglect of the declines and downfalls of dynasties uprisings etc
在現有課程指引中，有一項課題是"秦代大一統帝國的建立與驟亡"，但在教育局修訂的課程中，卻把它改為"秦朝的統一及其統治措施"。
In the current curriculum there is a topic on the rise and sudden collapse of the grand unified empire of Qin but in the revised curriculum the Education Bureau has changed it to the unification of the Qin Dynasty and its governance measures
這種做法令人憂慮政府是否意圖藉中史科向學生灌輸盲目追求和諧、穩定的價值觀呢？
People are thus worried whether the Government is attempting to instill through Chinese History the value of indiscriminate pursuance of harmony and stability
當然，教學時間也是一個重要問題，如果增加社會文化史，便必須減省政治史的內容及作出取捨，但當中的準則為何呢？
Surely teaching hours is also an important issue . The inclusion of social history and cultural history will mean a reduction of the contents of political history; and what are the criteria for the selection?
我認為當局亦必須清楚說明，絕不可以在此含混過關。
In my view the Bureau must give a clear illustration and cannot muddle through
教育局的回應是，現時的課程指引同樣沒有提到六四事件等，但教科書和教師卻仍然有教授。
According to the Education Bureau the current curriculum also has not covered events such as the 4 June incident but such events have been mentioned in the textbooks and taught by teachers
事實上，教授香港史必須以香港為中心，不可以在這問題上讓香港淪為中國的附庸。
In fact the teaching of Hong Kong history must be conducted with Hong Kong being the focus instead of being reduced to becoming a vassal city of China
此外，要加強近代史，亦絕不能夠只側重國家的光明面而忽略及不處理黑暗面。
Furthermore in enhancing the teaching of contemporary history we must not only talk about the bright side of the country and ignore or disregard the dark side
相信大家近年也覺察到，香港學生要承受相當大的壓力，老師亦不例外。
I trust that we have observed in the recent years that Hong Kong students have to bear fairly great pressure and teachers are no exception
很多教師或學生都有自殺傾向，而情況正不斷惡化，反映他們承受的壓力越來越大。
Many teachers and students have a suicidal tendency and the situation is worsening . This reflects that they are suffering from mounting pressure
事實上，去年教協就中史科改革進行調查，結果有75%的教師指出，在教學時遇到的最大問題就是課程太廣、課時不足。
In fact HKPTU conducted a survey of the reform of Chinese History last year . It was found that 75 % of the teachers considered that the greatest problem they encountered in teaching was that the curriculum was too broad while teaching hours was insufficient
主席，正如葉建源議員提出的修正案所指出，政府要改革初中中史科，便"必須謹守教育專業原則，全面徵詢學校及前線教師的意見"，才不會令我們今天討論的中史科淪為政治工具。
President as pointed out in the amendment proposed by Mr IP Kin - yuen if the Government wants to reform Chinese History at junior secondary level it must strictly uphold the principle of professionalism in education comprehensively seek the views of schools and frontline teachers so that the subject of Chinese History that we are discussing today will not be degenerated into a political tool
主席，今天我們討論的議題與初中歷史教育有關。
President the issue under discussion today is concerned with history education at junior secondary level
喜歡聽故事是人類的天性，而故事應是有趣的，是大家想聽的。
It is human nature to like listening to stories which are supposed to be interesting and appealing
如果覺得中國歷史科沉悶，主要原因是中史課程太"離地"，與生活脫節。
If anyone thinks that the subject of Chinese History is boring I would say that this is chiefly because the topics covered in the Chinese History curriculum are too remote and disconnected from real life
所以，當我們今天討論中史獨立成科時，應先問一個問題：我們想我們的初中學生自中一起學習甚麼中國歷史？
So today when we discuss making Chinese History an independent subject we should first ask ourselves one question What kind of Chinese history do we want our junior secondary students to learn starting from Secondary One?
是學習中國古代歷史、中國近代歷史，還是我認為應先學習的香港歷史？
Do we want them to learn ancient Chinese history modern Chinese history or Hong Kong history ?
殖民地時代，當局試圖矮化香港地位，很少全面探討香港歷史。
In the colonial era as the authorities attempted to degrade Hong Kong little was done to facilitate a full understanding of Hong Kong history
從小說角度來看，這些情節可能比較豐富，但從生活角度來看，學生只不過是死記硬背那些朝代興衰的資料。
From the point of view of novels these may make colourful plots but from the point of view of real life these are only information on the rise and decline of dynasties that students have to learn by rote
在2016年10月28日的內務委員會會議上，議員決定成立小組委員會，研究《〈2016年強制性公積金計劃條例〉公告》。
At the House Committee meeting on 28 October 2016 Members decided to form a Subcommittee for the purpose of studying the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Amendment Ordinance 2016 Commencement Notice
為了讓小組委員會有足夠的時間向內務委員會報告審議結果，我謹代表小組委員會動議，將上述附屬法例的審議限期延展至2016年12月7日。
In order to allow the Subcommittee sufficient time to report to the House Committee on its deliberations I move on behalf of the Subcommittee that the deadline for scrutinizing the above subsidiary legislation be extended to 7 December 2016
我現在向各位提出的待議議題是：林健鋒議員動議的議案，予以通過。
I now propose the question to you and that is That the motion moved by Mr Jeffrey LAM be passed
我現在向各位提出的待決議題是：林健鋒議員動議的議案，予以通過。
I now put the question to you and that is That the motion moved by Mr Jeffrey LAM be passed
主席，數年前反德育及國民教育科的浪潮，以至佔領行動的餘波一直揮之不去，喚起了社會各界對年輕一代國民身份認同及中國歷史科教育的關注。
President the wave against the implementation of the Moral and National Education subject several years ago and the aftermath of the Occupy movement have still affected us today . People from all walks of life have become aware of the national identity issue of the younger generation and the education of Chinese history
事實上，由於香港在歷史上的獨特性，回歸前一直欠缺國民身份認同的客觀條件；回歸後，在促進全面回歸和認同祖國的進程中又遇到不少障礙和掣肘。
In fact due to the historical uniqueness of Hong Kong there had been a lack of objective conditions to nurture national identity before the reunification; and after the reunification the process of full reunification and identification with the Mainland was again impeded by numerous barriers and constraints
可以說，年輕一代對於國家的歷史、文化、政治、經濟、法制等基本國情均沒有全面和準確的了解，甚至還存在不少誤解，以致文化和價值觀念的差異造成彼此間的矛盾，影響了社會的穩定及和諧。
It may be said that the younger generation do not have a comprehensive and accurate understanding of the Mainland in respect of history culture politics economy legal system etc . This coupled with numerous misunderstandings has given rise to conflicts due to the differences in culture and values thereby affecting social stability and harmony
香港毗連中國大陸，從地緣政治和地區經濟等角度上已說明了中港政經關係密切。
Given the proximity of Hong Kong and Mainland China there has been close political and economic relationship between the two places from the geo - political and district economy perspectives
因此，通過學習中國歷史、歷代的重要史實、人物事蹟及文化知識，以及加強學生對香港重要史事的認識，使他們了解香港過去發展的歷程及與國家密不可分的關係，從而加強年輕一代對社會及國家的歸屬感，便是當中的關鍵法門。
Therefore the teaching of Chinese history important historical facts of various dynasties deeds of important persons and cultural knowledge as well as enhancing students knowledge of Hong Kongs crucial historical events are indeed the keys to increasing their understanding of our historical development and inseparable relationship with the country through which the sense of belonging of the younger generation to the community and the country can be strengthened
在2001年，特區政府正式把中國歷史科列為初中必修課程，並且規定中史科必須佔課時約5%，以加強中史教育。
In 2001 the HKSAR Government officially made Chinese History a compulsory subject at junior secondary level and required that the subject must take about 5 % of the teaching hours so as to strengthen Chinese history education
以每周40堂來計算，中史科必須佔其中兩節課堂。
In the case of a 40 - lesson week Chinese History must take up two periods
事實上，在此之前，中史科從來都不是初中的必修科目，部分職業先修和工業中學均未有提供中史教育。
The fact is before that Chinese History had never been a compulsory subject at junior secondary level and was never taught in some prevocational and secondary technical schools
此外，翻查過去的資料可得知，由1970年代起，一些新增科目相繼湧現，例如經濟及公共事務和公民教育等。
Besides as learnt from past information new subjects such as Economics and Public Affairs and Civic Education have been introduced since 1970s
鑒於課堂時數所限，課程發展議會便提出統整科目，讓學生能接觸新設學科。
In view of the limited teaching hours the Curriculum Development Council proposed to integrate the subjects to facilitate the access of students to new subjects
至2000年，課程發展議會提出合併科目的教學模式，容許學校選擇將部分科目獨立成科，或以人文學科合併來教授，其中包括歷史、地理和中史科等。
Subsequently in 2000 the Curriculum Development Council proposed to adopt the teaching mode of subject integration and allowed schools to teach some subjects including History Geography and Chinese History as an independent subject or a combined humanities subject
自由黨認為，不論學校以獨立科目或綜合的方式教授中史，兩者均可，只要有關的學校仍然以中史為主軸，並且訂定足夠的授課時數，積極推動中史教育在初中階段的學習，以確立中科在中學教育的地位，則當局應繼續容許學校按實際的情況，靈活地選擇教授中史的模式。
The Liberal Party considers it acceptable for schools to either teach Chinese history either as an independent subject or combined subject . So long as schools still regard the teaching of Chinese history as the main axis and provide adequate teaching hours to proactively promote the teaching of Chinese history at junior secondary level with a view to prescribing the status of Chinese history in secondary education the authorities should continue to allow schools to flexibly choose their own mode of teaching Chinese History according to the actual situation
事實上，根據2015年教育局所提供的資料，大約有88%的中學在初中是以獨立科形式來教授中史；亦有4%以中史為主軸，結合世界史事件為內容；另外，大約有8%的中學開設專題形式的綜合中國歷史課程。
In fact according to the information provided by the Education Bureau in 2015 about 88 % of secondary schools taught Chinese History as an independent subject at junior secondary level; 4 % of schools adopted the curriculum mode which adopts Chinese history as the backbone supplemented with contents in world history; whereas the other 8 % of schools offered an integrated Chinese History curriculum based on specific topics
雖然學校各適其適，各有不同的教授方法，但有關方面的改革變更，容許學校按特色彈性教授中史的內容，這無疑是突破。
Though schools adopt different teaching modes that suit their needs such a change is no doubt a breakthrough as it allows schools to teach Chinese history according to their characteristics in a flexible manner
