教大徵文比賽 推廣「尊師重道」精神

香港教育大學（教大）第二屆粵港澳大灣區「尊師重道」生命教育徵文比賽圓滿結束，並於二零二一年八月二十日進行網上頒獎禮和分享會，吸引一百五十多個學校和家庭參與。是次比賽有八千零二十九篇來稿，來自香港、澳門、深圳和珠海等地共三百六十三間小學。

香港教育大學首席副校長、「明日教師：生命教育與品德領袖培訓計劃」召集人李子建教授在致辭時說：「作為本港一所以教師教育為主導的高等學府，香港教育大學一直秉承『教育為本，超越教育』的理念，致力於社會推廣正確的價值觀及生命教育。生命教育有助提升年輕人的抗逆能力，亦著重價值觀及品德的培養，是教育的崇高理想。因此，教大近年來一直積極推動生命教育，前年亦曾主辦以『尊師重道』及生命教育為主題的演講比賽，去年和今年則舉辦了相關主題的徵文比賽，目的就是要讓同學加深認識中華文化『尊師』與『重道』的意義，幫助他們培養良好的品德。我希望學生能感受到老師的教學熱誠，懂得感激和珍惜老師的付出與教導，實踐「尊師重道」的精神。」

是次比賽由教大人文學院、中國語言學系和宗教教育與心靈教育中心聯合主辦，冀推動並啟發學生理解傳統美德。比賽亦邀得北京師範大學王寧教授等多位資深專家擔任顧問。

Writing Competition @EdUHK Promotes Respect for Teachers

“The Second Greater Bay Area ‘Respect for Teachers’ Life Education Writing Competition” successfully concluded with an online award ceremony and a sharing session held by The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) on 20 August 2021 with more than 150 schools and families to participate. It had received 8,029 contributions from students in 363 primary schools in Hong Kong, Macau, Shenzhen and Zhuhai.

In his opening address, Professor John Lee Chi-kin, Vice President (Academic) and Provost, and Convener of the ‘Tomorrow Teacher: Life and Character Leadership Programme for Pre-service and In-service Teachers’ said, “As a teacher education-led higher institution in Hong Kong, EdUHK adheres to its Education-plus approach to promote values and life education in society. The latter can enhance the resilience of young people and cultivate positive values and morals, and EdUHK has been actively promoting this in recent years. Several speaking and writing contests have already been organised, with the themes of ‘respect for teachers’ and ‘life education’. The purpose is to deepen students’ understanding of the traditional Chinese virtue towards teachers, so as to nurture their moral values. I hope that students can sense the teachers’ enthusiasm and, in turn, be thankful and appreciative of teachers’ dedicated effort, thereby putting ‘respect for teachers’ into practice.”

The competition was co-organised by the Faculty of Humanities, the Department of Chinese Language Studies, and the Centre for Religious and Spirituality Education at EdUHK. Its aim was to promote and inspire schoolchildren to understand this traditional virtue. Leading experts, including Professor Wang Ning from Beijing Normal University, were invited to act as consultants for the competition.
