ABSTRACT

Education on Hong Kong National Security Law (NSL) is important because it is a statutory requirement. In order to help students understand NSL, we designed a program within a leadership subject with the focus on law abidance leadership. We launched the NSL program since the 2021/ 2022 academic year and we have conducted several both cross-sectional evaluation studies that utilize quantitative and qualitative evaluation strategies. The findings in these studies are generally positive. After three years of evaluation, we invited the teachers (N =10) to reflect on their teaching experiences and the perceived impact of NSL education on the students and themselves. Results showed that teachers perceived different responses from the students, with most of them positive in nature. Regarding the perceived impact of NSL education, the teachers shared that the program was beneficial to the students and to themselves. It is argued that personal and professional development in teachers would contribute to the well-being of the students and teachers.
