劉晉豪, 香港科技大學理科生
HSA科學學科指導顧問

我是劉晉豪,現在在香港科技大學攻讀理學課程。中學階段,我是在深圳的香港培僑書院龍華信義學校度過的。
在培僑書院讀書的那幾年,我親眼見到不少港籍同學在面對學業競爭時產生的焦慮,也感受到不同教育模式對學生狀態的影響。有時候,評價體系太密集、成長標準過於單一,反而讓很多同學陷入自我懷疑和內耗。進入港科大之後,在和身邊同學的交流中,我更發現不少人在從中學到大學的過渡期,因為心理調節能力不足,遇到了不少適應上的困難。這些經歷讓我越來越覺得,教育的本質應該是幫助人「成為更好的自己」,而不僅僅是追求分數和名次的競爭。
而在家教育,作為傳統校園教育的一種補充,恰恰為學生提供了「個性化成長」的可能——它能夠根據孩子的性格和節奏靈活安排學習進度,用更包容的方式平衡學業與心理需求。這一點,我覺得正是當前香港教育環境中值得探索的方向。作為一名學生,我更能體會同齡人在學業壓力下的真實心境;作為一名在校港生,我也希望能從「學習者」的視角出發,為在家教育的課程設計和心理支持體系,提出更貼近學生實際需要的建議。
I am Liu Chun Ho, currently studying a science program at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). During my secondary school years, I studied at Hong Kong Pui Kiu College Longhua Xinyi School in Shenzhen.
In the years I spent at Pui Kiu College, I was aware of the anxiety many Hong Kong students experienced when facing academic competition, and also felt the impact of different educational models on students' mental states. Sometimes, overly intensive evaluation systems and rigid standards for growth would trap many students in self-doubt. After enrolling at HKUST, through interactions with my peers, I further noticed that many struggled with adaptation during the transition from secondary school to university, largely due to insufficient psychological adjustment abilities. These experiences have made me increasingly convinced that the essence of education should be to help people "become a better version of themselves," rather than merely focusing on competition for grades and rankings.
Homeschooling, as a supplement to traditional campus education, precisely offers students the possibility of "personalized growth" — it can flexibly arrange study schedules based on a child's personality and pace, and balance academic demands with psychological needs in a more inclusive manner. This, I believe, is a direction worth exploring in Hong Kong's current educational context. As a student myself, I can better empathize with the real feelings of my peers under academic pressure; as a current HKUST student from Hong Kong, I also hope to provide suggestions that are more in line with students' actual needs for the curriculum design and psychological support system of homeschooling, from a "learner's perspective."
