The University of Macau (UM) Centre for Chinese History and Culture today (23 September) held an event to release the results of the 2019 Chinese History and Culture Cognition Index Survey for Primary and Secondary School Students in Macao. A total of 1,391 students from 14 schools were surveyed on their knowledge of the histories and culture of China and Macao. Results show that Macao students’ overall level of knowledge on this subject has increased compared to 2017. This study contributes to the implementation of China’s ‘One Country, Two Systems’ policy in Macao and provides valuable data for researchers interested in the study of national identity.
