The 10th National Security Education Day thematic exhibition was launched at the Hong Kong Museum of History today, kickstarting a series of activities on national security education.

The exhibition will be open to the general public from tomorrow.

April 15 this year marks the 10th National Security Education Day. The thematic exhibition adopts the national theme of “The 10th anniversary of National Security Education Day: advancing towards more in-depth & effective implementation”, reflecting on the development of promoting national security education in the country and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region over the years.

Officiating at the opening ceremony of the thematic exhibition, Secretary for Education Choi Yuk-lin said the Education Bureau has been supporting schools in enhancing national education as well as fostering students’ sense of patriotism and awareness of national security.

“We will continue to work hand in hand with all sectors of society to promote national security education, with a view to strengthening the public’s awareness and sense of responsibility in safeguarding national security on their own accord, and creating a positive atmosphere of patriotism and love for Hong Kong.”

The Hong Kong SAR Government stressed that it will continue to widen and deepen the promotion of national security education.

As of the first term of the current school year, over 43,000 students from about 120 primary and secondary schools visited the National Security Exhibition Gallery.
