MACAO, March 3 -- Recently, the PLA Macao Garrison and the Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) Government jointly launched the annual national flag raiser training for local students in 2023.
Eighty members of the national flag teams from Macao's high schools, colleges and universities entered the Taipa Camp of the PLA Macao Garrison to learn how to properly conduct a national flag raising ceremony.
This marked the first activity of this year's training on a regular basis. During the training, the students also took lessons on national defense education and learned more about the national flag.
Since the establishment of national flag teams in local schools in 2017, nearly 200 members have received training from the PLA Macao Garrison. Now, all schools in Macao hold a flag-raising ceremony once a week in the campus.
In cooperation with the Education and Youth Affairs Bureau of the Government of the Macao SAR, the PLA Macao Garrison will expand the training of national flag teams to include local college faculty and civil servants, and organize activities such as military summer camp and military opening day.
