National education programme to be expanded to cover more than 900 Hong Kong schools, principals say

Hong Kong will expand a national education programme to cover all 900-plus schools in the city, requiring them to devise large-scale joint activities for their pupils and children from other institutions.

School heads, who asked not to be named, said aided schools and those part of the direct subsidy scheme (DSS) had been told by the Education Bureau they should join the “Love Our Home, Treasure Our Country” programme from the next academic year, starting in September.
