HK schoolchildren participate in essay competition
( 2003-11-04 21:08) (Xinhua)

The Hong Kong Education and Manpower Bureau on Tuesday invited students to participate in an essay competition on Shenzhou-5, China's first manned space aircraft.

With "The launching of Shenzhou-5" as its theme, the Chinese essay competition among students at senior primary to tertiary levels came after the success of the Shenzhou-5 and the Hong Kong visit by the country's first astronaut, Yang Liwei, had aroused students' concerns and interests.

"The aim of the competition is to help students better understand the development of aerospace technology and industry of our motherland and learn the spirit of perseverance from astronauts," the Chief Curriculum Development Officer Cheung Wing Hung said.

"It's definitely an invaluable opportunity for students to conduct project learning," he added.

"The essay competition is also expected to develop a sense of belonging to the nation among our students and to enhance their commitment to contributing towards the betterment of our country," he said.

To assist students in searching for related information, the Bureau's moral and civic education section has uploaded reference materials on aerospace industry development and the Shenzhou series spacecraft onto its web page.

The competition is co-organized by the Bureau and Hong Kong- based Ta Kung Pao, with sponsorship from the Chinese History & Culture Educational Foundation for Youth.
