Not all religious schools are anti-CCP zealots. I graduated from a local Christian school and a good bunch of my teachers were pro-establishment. In fact my school's board of trustees as well as the alumni association published a letter (might I also add made the
, if any of you are interested in giving it a read) to denounce/discourage any sort of protests by the student body and the faculty base.
I'm sure
@Gatekeeper will do a much more elegant job than I will answering your question, but based on my understanding education reforms to reinforce national education (what we in Hong Kong call 国民教育) will be part of the NSL law. I believe some of the legislation has already started to take root (
).
To be fair we covered bits of national education back in my school days - I can't recall the exact wording on top of my head, but I distinctly remember the Education Bureau encouraging schools to place an emphasis on national education.... but I'm pretty sure there wasn't any sort of written law (or at least the sort I'd expect now with the NSL). Our school did our part by including flag-raising ceremonies at likes sports days, swimming galas, as well as when we were close to national holidays (PRC founding day, SAR establishment day etc). I took history and economics for my O-Levels... and while my history teacher wasn't exactly a fan of the CCP when we were covering the Cold War and modern history, but he did stick to the script without giving us too much of a piece of his mind. My economics teacher frankly did a a pretty good job explaining the benefits of an economy that shares mixed control between the state and the market. Our school also had a language policy where we were supposed (barely anyone followed lol) to speak Mandarin or English on campus outside the classroom.
