【明報專訊】WE GATHER that, to promote the study of Chinese history and traditional Chinese culture, the government will announce next week in the next policy address that it will provide secondary and primary schools with $125 million with a view to improving schooling and teacher training. The idea is to help students appreciate, receive and pass on the Chinese nation's culture. It is of course right for one to get to know the history of one's nation. Chinese-history classes are not just about how dynasties rose and fell. In them emphasis is put on how one should conduct oneself. The government should have had Chinese-history study beefed up and made Chinese history a separate subject. It ought to have done so whether ideas of making Hong Kong independent have emerged in recent years.
