Exclusive: First Government School Teacher Faces Being Struck Off; Dismissal Would Mean Loss of Pension

【獨家】首名官中教師面臨「釘牌」 若革職將失退休金

Sing Tao Daily reported that a government school teacher has been transferred and investigated by the authorities over the use of inappropriate and biased teaching materials. The Education Bureau is considering cancelling the teacher’s registration, which would make the teacher the third to be struck off and the first government school teacher to face such a case. As the teacher is a civil servant, the Education Bureau will refer the matter to the Civil Service Bureau for a disciplinary hearing. The teacher could face dismissal and lose the right to claim a pension, gratuity and other benefits.

Stand News learned that a CityU student was reported for covering and posting 《Finding Guo Wei》MV, and was found by the CityU Disciplinary Committee to have threatened or bullied, persecuted others, and harmed the university’s reputation. The student was required to write letters of apology to Guo Wei and the university, and was barred from the campus for a period. Sources said the complainant was Tang Ning (Kevin Downing), secretary of the CityU Council and director of the university’s Data Research Office.

理大打壓學生會「圍城一年」活動　禁放映會、登報　要脅收回場地及處分

Nearly one year after the ‘PolyU siege’ incident, the interim administrative committee of the PolyU Students’ Union planned to hold screenings of the documentaries ‘Red-Brick City Under Siege’ and ‘PolyU Siege’ on the 17th and 18th of this month, and publish a statement on the front page of Apple Daily.

It said that if they failed to comply, the university would take a series of disciplinary measures, including reclaiming the Students’ Union’s rights to use and manage its premises and no longer collecting membership fees on the union’s behalf, while interim committee members would face disciplinary action.

Stand News, citing sources, reported that a CityU student received a letter from the university in May this year alleging that he had violated three provisions of the Student Disciplinary Code after covering and posting the MV of the parody song on his personal YouTube channel in November last year. After appearing before the university twice, the student was found by CityU’s Disciplinary Committee to have threatened or bullied, persecuted others and harmed the university’s reputation. He was required to write apology letters to Kuo Wei and the university, and was barred from campus for about one and a half months. In response to media inquiries, CityU said an independent special committee handled the complaint according to procedure, and all relevant parties were required to sign confidentiality agreements to keep details of the case and the ruling strictly confidential. It said that if anyone breached the confidentiality agreement, the university would pursue the matter under its mechanisms.
