As part of the global community, the YHKCC recognizes the importance of National Security Education in shaping informed and responsible ‘glocal’ citizens. This initiative is designed not only to educate students about national security concepts and knowledge, but also to instill a profound sense of identity and community engagement among Chinese nationals and Hong Kong citizens.
The objectives of National Security Education at the YHKCC emphasize a holistic approach that fosters a strong national identity while promoting an understanding of China from a broader perspective. This initiative encourages students to explore the country’s historical, cultural, social and economic dimensions, enabling them to gain insights into the complexities of China’s development, its role in global affairs, and the significance of its unique cultural heritage. This holistic approach encompasses not only a robust academic curriculum, but also emphasizes student wellbeing, extra-curricular activity development and close home-school cooperation, all under the strong leadership and effective management of the school. By integrating these elements, the YHKCC aims to support the overall growth of students, ensuring their academic success is complemented by emotional, social and civic development.
Through National Security Education, we aim to:
1. Nurture Responsible Citizens
The YHKCC seeks to cultivate a generation of responsible Chinese nationals and Hong Kong citizens who possess a deep sense of belonging. By providing comprehensive education on the history, culture, and values of China and Hong Kong, to enhance students’ understanding of their national identity. This includes engaging students in discussions about civic duties and the importance of contributing positively to society, thereby fostering a commitment to the wellbeing of our community.
2. Strengthen Community Bonds
We focus on reinforcing relationships within the YHKCC community and its external partners. By organizing collaborative activities, workshops and events, the school aims to foster a sense of unity and shared purpose among students, teachers, parents and our partners. This approach enhances mutual respect and understanding while encouraging students to actively participate in community initiatives related to national security and social responsibility.
3. Empower Educators
A critical aspect of the school’s National Security Education initiative is the empowerment of the teaching community. We provide teachers with the necessary training, resources and support to deliver effective and engaging lessons on national security topics. By equipping teachers with the skills to facilitate meaningful discussions and critical thinking, the YHKCC ensures that students receive a quality education that prepares them to navigate the complexities of national and global security issues.
Through these objectives, the YHKCC endeavours to create a well-rounded educational experience that not only informs students about national security but also fosters a sense of belonging, community and responsibility. This holistic approach aims to prepare students to be engaged citizens who contribute to the stability and prosperity of Hong Kong and China as a whole.
