In the old curriculum, Chinese history was discussed from the very origins, and several important dynasties were covered. But the new texts only begin with the Opium War (1848). Among 960 educational time segments, only 20 will be devoted to Chinese history and geography.
舊課本裡中國歷史是由起源講起，大概提到些主要的朝代；但是新課程只由鴉片戰爭講起，在九百六十個教節裡，有關中國歷史、地理的，總共只有二十個教節。
