Hong Kong is an international city. But, it is such an ironic treatment that; I, as a candidate who obtained 7 marks in IELTS examination and 88/100 marks in TCL examination instead of getting Distinctions in HKCEE and HKALE English examinations, am not qualified by either the HKSAR Education Bureau or the secondary-school principals to become a full-time English teacher. The educational field in Hong Kong over-emphasizes the evaluation of PGDE and HKIED qualification as stubborn criteria to employ some stubborn English teachers who are totally ignorant with the use of English language in a native-speaker manner. I hope that, such institutional restriction on educational qualification would be abolished by the HKSAR Education Bureau in the sooner future. Moreover, I studied History as my cored HKCEE and HKALE subjects. A principal, who has a common sense of logical thinking, would realize that History requires students to have extraordinarily fluent written-English skills for encountering with the DBQ and essay-writing challenges. Even though my HKCEE and HKALE English results were not that satisfactory, my Grade C in HKCEE and HKALE History play the role as a supplementation to justify my trustworthy capability in English education. Rita Law, Lee Kwok-cheung, Suen Ming-yeung and Eddie Ng are all short-sighted bureaucrats who fail to improve the general standard of bilingual education in Hong Kong. If Governor Chris Patten and Mrs Anson Chan still administered Hong Kong, they would try their very best to ensure the EMI policy being consistently implemented in secondary schools and prevent the language-education culture in Hong Kong from being polluted by the pro-Communist ideology from Beijing. If Governor Chris Patten were still in Hong Kong, my academic freedom would surely be respected. Of course, if a chance was given by an international school, I would also like to have a try because I get used to communicate with foreigners and ethnical minorities. The universities in Hong Kong are also ridiculous. They just pay a great tribute to the academic fruits by the Mainlanders. Am I not qualified to equally compete with the M-Phil and Ph-D students from Mainland China? My spoken and written English skills are even better than some of the Mainland postgraduates. If Governor Chris Patten was still in Hong Kong, he would surely be impressed by what I wrote and analyzed in my Xu Beihong thesis research and let me have a chance of fine-art teaching at the university level! I want to teach. I hope somebody to give a final word on my educational prospect and let me live with dignity.
