特殊學校教師流失率達9.4% 教育局稱「普遍運作正常」
A wave of teacher resignations has hit the education sector, and special schools are no exception. The situation is more serious than in government and direct-subsidy schools. In a written reply to a Legislative Council member’s question, the Education Bureau disclosed that 190 special-school teachers left their posts in the 2021/22 school year, resulting in an attrition rate of 9.4%, a recent high. A total of 430 special-school teachers left between the 2019 and 2022 school years. The Education Bureau said that although this year’s attrition rate was higher than in previous years, special schools would recruit new teachers and were currently “generally operating normally”.
教育界出現教師離職潮，特殊學校亦不例外，而且情況比公營和直資學校更嚴重。教育局在回覆立法會議員書面質詢時透露，在2021/22學年，共有190名特殊學校教師離職，流失率達9.4%，是近年新高。由2019至2022年度，合共流失430名特殊學校教師。教育局稱今年流失率雖然比往年高，但特殊學校會新聘教師，現時「普遍運作正常」。

港教育局推《教師專業操守指引》 課堂或社交平台不可隨意講「六四事件」
Hong Kong Secretary for Education Christine Choi Yu-lin told an RTHK interview that the Professional Code for Teachers to be issued by the end of this year is not a new initiative and there is no need for an adaptation period. She said the code would not explain teacher misconduct in relation to individual laws, including the Hong Kong National Security Law. Asked whether discussing the June 4 incident in class or on social media would breach the code, Choi said teachers could not “just say whatever comes to mind”.
香港教育局局長蔡若蓮接受《香港電台》專訪時表示，今年底前推出的《教師專業操守指引》並非新事物，無須設立適應期。而指引不會針對個別法例解說教師違規行為，包括《港區國安法》，但被問及在課堂上或在社交平台上講及「六四事件」會否違反指引，蔡若蓮指出，教師不能「隨口噏」

The Policy Address earlier announced that the requirement for the Basic Law test for newly hired teachers would be extended to all Direct Subsidy Scheme schools and kindergartens participating in the Kindergarten Education Scheme.

有合資格的準教師因有官司在身而被學校拒諸門外
The new school year began last week, with the teacher shortage drawing widespread public attention. Some schools were still recruiting teachers on August 31 to start work on September 1. At the same time, however, a number of qualified prospective teachers were rejected by schools. Allan (a pseudonym), a graduate in education this year, applied to more than 40 primary and secondary schools and was rejected after more than 20 interviews. In the most extreme case, a school had already hired him and even had him conduct a teaching trial, but terminated the arrangement at the time of signing the contract because, as requested by the school, Allan disclosed that he had been arrested and charged during the 2019 social movement. The case is scheduled to go to trial in the first half of next year.
新學年上星期開學，最令社會關注的是學校教師不足，甚至有學校 8 月 31 日仍在招聘 9 月 1 日上班的教師，但同一時間，卻有一批合資格的準教師被學校拒諸門外；Allan（化名）是今年教育學士畢業生，但他先後到 40 多間中小學求職，面試過 20 多代均被拒，最極端的情況有學校已經聘請他「仲試教埋」，但簽約時才臨時終止，因為 Allan 按校方要求，申報自己曾在 19 年社會運動中被捕、起訴，案件明年上半年開審

曾被裁專業失德 vawongsir政治因素為由離港：帶著內疚堅持畫下去
Former secondary school teacher and now full-time illustrator vawongsir, who previously published numerous current-affairs cartoons, was found by the Education Bureau last year to have substantiated a complaint of professional misconduct. In a post on his social media page this evening (28th), vawongsir announced that he had left Hong Kong. He referred to the fear and unease of facing the unknown and said he had “10,000 struggles” in his heart, “but in the end I cowardly bought a plane ticket and left Hong Kong alone without even my family seeing me off.” He also stressed: “I will carry guilt, shame and anger with me and continue drawing for those who have been silenced.”
前中學教師、現為全職插畫師的vawongsir，過往曾發布不少時事漫畫，去年被教育局裁定專業失德投訴成立。vawongsir今（28日）傍晚在社交專頁宣布已離港，並提及面對未知的恐懼與不安，心裏有一萬個掙扎，「但最後仍懦弱地買了機票，連家人也沒有送別下獨自離港」；他又強調：「我會帶著內咎（疚）、慚愧、憤怒繼續堅持為噤聲的人畫下去」。

香港本年度流失逾4千教師 五年來人數首現負增長
Amid an emigration wave, many professionals, including teachers, have left Hong Kong. In a written reply today (11th) to a Legislative Council inquiry, the Education Bureau provided the latest figures on Hong Kong’s teacher workforce. The figures show that as many as 4,050 teachers at public-sector and Direct Subsidy Scheme schools had left their posts in the 2021–22 school year, 70% more than in the previous year. Meanwhile, only 3,140 teachers were newly hired by public schools this year, fewer than the number who left, resulting in the first negative growth in teacher numbers in nearly five years.
In responding to a question from Election Committee constituency Legislative Council member Tang Fei, the Education Bureau said the main reasons for teachers leaving included retirement, further study, moving to teach at another type of school, taking up work in other industries, and other personal reasons. The bureau acknowledged that the teacher attrition rate was “slightly high”, but said its observations indicated that school operations were generally normal and that there were sufficient qualified teachers. It also estimated that, as the school-age population undergoes a structural decline in the future, demand for teachers would correspondingly decrease.
移民潮下，本港不少專業人士包括教師離港。教育局今日（11日）書面回覆立法會議員查詢，交代最新香港教師人手狀況。數字顯示，2021 至 2022 年度暫已有多達 4,050 名公營和直資學校教師離職，人數較上年度多 70%。同時，今年新聘的公營教師只得 3,140 人，低於流失數字，近五年首次出現教師人數負增長的情況。
教育局回應選委會界別立法會議員鄧飛的提問時表示，教師流失的原因主要包括退休、進修、轉往其他類別學校任教、從事其他行業，或以其他私人理由離職等。局方承認今年教師流失率「略高」，但據觀察學校運作大致正常，有足夠合資格教師任教，又估計隨着未來學齡人口出現結構性下降，教師的需求相信會相應減少。

楊潤雄去信全港教師-斥教協與政治團體無異-促教師考慮教協能否代表自己
