History and cultural education is the “root” of national consciousness. It is the foundation that students establish their national identity. It has a remarkable significance in Hong Kong and Macau. Since the 1990s，the History education in Macau’s primary and secondary schools has undergone important changes. In particular，the curriculum reform in recent years has made History a compulsory subject in junior and senior secondary schools. The government education agency also published the relevant basic academic standards. In the future，it is necessary to institutionally guarantee the status of History（especially Chinese History）as an independent subject，whose learning and examination are both compulsory. In terms of the standard of syllabus，it is necessary to draft a separate normative document. It is also necessary to draft teaching materials on History that would respond to the local needs to enhance teaching in Chinese modern and contemporary history. The relations between Macau’s local history and Chinese history should be appropriately approached to by integrating Macau’s local history into Chinese history. Such integration should be allocated into the entire syllabus throughout the secondary school stage. Training of teachers should also be enhanced in order to elevate their professional levels.
