The Education Bureau of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government recently announced that the science curriculum in primary schools will incorporate content such as national aerospace and technological innovation. On the 9th, multiple education professionals in Hong Kong agreed in an interview with China News Agency that the adjustment of curriculum content should be in line with the direction and development needs of the country's "rejuvenation through science and education". Starting from the 2025/2026 academic year, the common sense subjects in primary schools in Hong Kong will gradually be divided into science subjects and humanities subjects. According to the poster and leaflet released by the Education Bureau recently, the curriculum will incorporate content such as national aerospace and technological innovation, sustainable development concepts, earth science, engineering and design. The Education Bureau stated that the scientific content aligns with the national direction of "revitalizing the country through science and education", hoping to inspire students' creativity and scientific potential from a young age, connect them with their daily life experiences, emphasize the importance of "hands-on thinking", cultivate students' abilities in scientific exploration, design, production, and problem-solving, as well as correct scientific attitudes and values. Deng Fei, a member of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Vice President of the Hong Kong Federation of Education Workers (HKEDA), pointed out that the separation of common sense subjects into science subjects and humanities subjects has clarified the mixed situation of arts and sciences, giving both teaching and learning a clearer direction and relatively sufficient class hours. The Chairman of the Education Federation, Huang Jinliang, admitted that in the past, there was relatively little content related to the development of national aerospace in elementary school common sense courses. Some schools would use school-based courses or extracurricular activities to introduce students, but there was always a lack of systematic and Hong Kong wide teaching effectiveness. Nowadays, the national aerospace industry has developed rapidly and is at the forefront of the world. Huang Jinliang believes that Hong Kong, as a special economic zone of the country, should have a corresponding curriculum system to match the country's development direction and needs. He mentioned that in recent years, especially, Hong Kong has contributed to the development of the national aerospace industry with its own strengths. Multiple universities have participated in aerospace research projects, and China has selected payload experts for the first time in the fourth batch of preparatory astronauts in the Hong Kong and Macao regions, all of which reflect the trend of integrating into national development. Hong Kong has a high level of scientific research capabilities and shoulders the responsibility of assisting in promoting national scientific and technological development, including in the field of aerospace development. Therefore, in Huang Jinliang's view, the adjustment of course content is timely, cultivating Hong Kong students' sense of identity and pride in the national aerospace industry from a young age. Zhu Weilin, Vice Chairman of the New Territories Principal Association and Principal of Fengxi First Primary School, also believes that actively promoting science education related to aerospace from the primary school stage, combined with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) education that the academic community has been committed to promoting in recent years, not only can cultivate students' interest in using their brains and hands to try scientific exploration, but also is a patriotic education that allows them to learn the spirit of aerospace, Encourage them to contribute to the country through technological creation in the future. It is quite difficult to popularize technical aerospace knowledge in primary schools, which involves multiple disciplines such as physics, chemistry, and digital technology. Considering the knowledge system and acceptance level of primary school students, Deng Fei suggests that the teaching content should be more inclined to describe the development process and achievements of national aerospace. "This will become a good contemporary national education." This will help students better understand the current development status of the country during the learning process, Enhance identification with the country and a sense of national pride.
