Choi Wong Ling-ling, a national political adviser from Hong Kong, said on Wednesday that special administrative region s education system must learn from the motherland.
Before its return to China, there was no national education in Hong Kong, and many children had little knowledge of patriotic education, said the member of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People s Political Consultative Conference.
The traumatic protests in 2019 highlighted that there is a severe problem in Hong Kong s education. Young people misunderstand the motherland and resist the administration of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government, she said.
