Wong, mother of primary school children, said the law was “clamping down on people’s individual thoughts” and adding national security to the curricula created a climate of fear.

Schools are encouraged to “organise various game activities, such as puppet theatre, board games ... to establish a good atmosphere and improve students’ understanding of national security”, according to the guidelines.
