Angesichts von Lernstress, ungleichen Chancen und Streben nach Exzellenz - welche Möglichkeiten bietet das chinesische Bildungssystem? Und was bedeutet die erneute Ideologisierung für Bildung und Wissenschaft?

Hongkongers who study in universities abroad, especially in Taiwan and Austria, have started expressing their concern and dissatisfaction about the imminent change in university curricula induced by the so-called “National Security Law.” The Law is pushing the government to tighten its grip and control over universities. Prof. Barbara Schulte, who lectures about international education at the University of Vienna, said that the “ideologicalization” of school curricula might affect the overall quality of education, adding that many parents are now considering putting their children in international schools that are away from the sway of the government. She said the parents tend to be concerned their children would not be able to focus on education materials if this continues. The schools, however, are too expensive, she said, putting extra pressure on families. Anson Wong, a Hong Kong student who studies in Taiwan, said that freedom of speech at school was heavily impacted, as the students would not be at liberty to speak their minds.
