In collaboration with Tsinghua University (Beijing), the centre offers a training programme for instructors of courses in Chinese history and culture, and the participants will receive a certificate from Tsinghua University after they finish the programme. Prof Hao believes that such training will improve the quality of teaching of Chinese history and culture. Besides, CCHC offers the first certificate course in Macao and Chinese civilisation for all high school students in Macao, allowing them to take university classes in advance and appreciate the beauty of Chinese traditional culture. In partnership with the Chinese Educators Association of Macau, the centre will edit and revise the book of general knowledge of Chinese culture to prepare the local youth for standardised Chinese history examination. ‘We hope that in our continuous effort, young people will align themselves to traditional Chinese culture, and more favourable conditions could be made to attract them to be proud of their roots and to carry forward the Chinese traditions and cultures,’ says Prof Hao. Disseminating the Knowledge of Macao In order to enhance the understanding of primary and secondary school students about the social, economic and cultural issues of Macao, the Centre for Macau Studies (CMS) has launched a series of activities to interest students in learning about Macao. Prof Agnes Lam Iok Fong, director of the CMS, says that the CMS has engaged in researching different projects in Macao for 30 years and thus accumulated a large amount of Macao data. Now the CMS will establish a database for storing knowledge of Macao in an organised meaningful fashion which will be open to the public. ‘We’d like to encourage primary and secondary school students to use it frequently. They will find some interesting subjects, such as entomology, from which they will learn Leptanilla macauensis, an insect species from Macao. The database will soon be one of the primary sources for them to better understand Macao,’ says Prof Lam. In the first phrase, the CMS will work with the UM library to launch the Macao Economic Database. ‘This will be a comprehensive database, including all of Macao’s major economic indicators. It will help researchers, students, and the public to better understand the need of Macao’s economic and social development.’ 林玉鳳教授 Prof Agnes Lam Iok Fong 譚錦榮教授 Prof Tam Kam Weng 專題探討 FEATURE STORY umagazine issue 19 26
