禁學生講廣東話？ 德萃小學課堂英普溝通 校方：講廣東話不會受罰 課後活動不設限
The government has promoted Putonghua-medium teaching for years, while many private schools have attracted students by offering teaching in English and Putonghua. Tsz Wing Chu, head of the kindergarten and primary divisions of St. Hilary School, recently discussed the primary school’s curriculum design in an interview with a Douyin self-media outlet. During the interview, Tsz Wing Chu mentioned that the school had “a very interesting policy”: students were “not allowed to speak Cantonese” with one another and could communicate only in English and Putonghua. The remarks were reposted on other social media platforms and sparked heated discussion. A Yahoo News reporter contacted Tsz Wing Chu and the school for an inquiry but received no response. The reporter also contacted the school’s admissions office posing as a parent, and was told that most of the school’s teachers had Putonghua or English as their mother tongue. The school stressed that students would not be punished for speaking Cantonese.
政府力推「普教中」多年，不少私校均以英普教學作招徠。德萃學校幼稚園部及小學部總校長朱子穎早前接受抖音自媒體訪問時大談小學部的課程設計，期間提到該校「有個好得意嘅政策」，學生之間「唔准講廣東話」，只能以英語和普通話溝通，此番言論被轉載至其他社交媒體後引發熱議。《Yahoo新聞》記者則向朱子穎及校方查詢，未有回覆；記者另以家長身份向校方招生辦公室查詢，對方解釋稱因該校大部份老師的母語為普通話及英語，強調學生用廣東話不會受罰。

內地交流中學生遭拍裸片 14歲男被捕
During a four-day, three-night mainland exchange trip organised by a secondary school in Kwai Chung last March, a 13-year-old Form Two student was secretly filmed fully naked by a classmate while showering in a hotel in Shantou. The video was circulated at the school. The boy’s parents subsequently reported the case to police, who arrested a 14-year-old boy allegedly involved. However, the nude images have recently been circulated on social media. The boy’s parents reported the matter to police again a few days ago, hoping for assistance in having them taken down. The Education Bureau confirmed the secret filming incident and said it was very concerned. It said that, after learning of the matter, it immediately contacted the school to make enquiries.
葵涌一間中學去年3月舉辦的4日3夜內地交流團，其間一名13歲中二男生在汕頭入住的酒店內，洗澡時遭同學偷拍全裸短片，並在校內流傳。該男生家長事後報警，警方拘捕一名涉事14歲男童。不過，涉事裸照近日又在社交媒體上流傳，男生家長日前遂再向警方報案，希望協助下架。教育局回覆確認偷拍事件，並十分關注，得悉後已立即向有關學校了解。

大學換血｜內地教員七年翻一倍創新高 進駐工商理 本地學者跌兩成 教育、人文、社科學者出走
Data from the University Grants Committee obtained by The Collective shows that the number of mainland faculty members at Hong Kong’s eight publicly funded universities has reached a record high, nearly doubling over the past seven years and accounting for 41% of all faculty. They are concentrated mainly in engineering, business and science. By contrast, the number of local scholars has fallen by 20% from seven years ago, with education, the humanities and the social sciences hardest hit.
A mainland-born engineering professor at the University of Hong Kong said that overseas-returned scholars chose local universities because they had greater opportunities to conduct research independently. Admitting that he did not understand politics, he hoped Hong Kong would become a place that nurtured scientific research, but said that since 2019, many places had come to perceive Hong Kong as moving increasingly closer to the mainland. He was concerned that Hong Kong could be caught up in the US-China rivalry.
Also from HKU’s engineering department, associate professor Albert Tak Chung Yeung, who had actively participated in public affairs, retired in 2020 and went to Taiwan three years ago to resume teaching. He said universities were pursuing rankings and faculty had to “run up the numbers” through their papers; it was an undisputed fact that mainland scholars had an advantage. Former Chinese University of Hong Kong scholar Chan Kin-man, who also went to Taiwan, said mainland scholars had outstanding publication records, but most approached their work with the mindset of “finding a job and earning a high salary” and lacked concern for Hong Kong issues. Many conducted China studies that attracted greater attention from international academic journals. This might appear to improve university rankings, he said, but “in reality, it will gradually hollow out local research.”
《集誌社》取得教資會過去七年數據，本港八間資助大學的內地教員人數創有紀錄以來新高，較七年增加近一倍，佔整體教員比例 41％，主要進駐工、商、理三科。相反，本地學者較七年前跌兩成，教育、人文和社科為重災區。
有內地港大工程系教授直言，「海歸」學者選本地院校，因較大機會獨立做研究。自認不了解政治的他，希望香港成為滋養科研的土地，但指 2019 年後很多地方認知香港「跟大陸越走越近」，憂香港在中美角力下受牽連。
而同屬港大工程系，曾積極參與公共事務的副教授楊德忠在 2020 年退休，三年前赴台重拾教鞭，他認為大學追逐排名，教員要為論文「跑數」，內地學者較有優勢是不爭事實。同樣赴台的前中大學者陳健民則認為，內地學者論文成績斐然，但大部分持「搵份工、高薪」心態，缺乏對香港議題關懷，多從事較受國際學術期刊關注的中國研究，表面上大學排名增加，但「實則會慢慢掏空本土研究」。

嶺大學生會｜校方煞停「承諾書」協商 學生社團須經校方註冊、簽《約章》
Lingnan University emailed all students yesterday (10th), stating that student societies must henceforth register with the Student Affairs Office and sign the Student Leaders Charter to receive university guidance, financial support and access to university resources. The Lingnan University Students’ Union executive cabinet “Cheong” later said it was shocked by the university’s move, as it had been negotiating the provisions of the Lingnan University Students’ Union Commitment Letter with the university since January, but was informed yesterday that the university had unilaterally halted the talks.
Students’ Union president Hon Cheuk-yin said the university had not proactively contacted the Students’ Union and had not provided details of the charter. He hoped the university would explain its contents in detail so that the affiliated-society structure and operations could be maintained under the existing framework. External vice-president Lai Cheuk-yin said the two sides had previously held “constructive dialogue” and were only one final clause away from completing the signing, adding that he did not understand why the university had made a “180-degree turn”. Lingnan University said only that, after careful discussion, it would “optimise student group registration procedures” from that day to strengthen related management work.
嶺南大學昨日（10日）向全體學生發電郵指，日後學生社團需經學生事務處註冊，並須簽署《學生領袖約章》，始能得到校方指導、資金支援、資源使用權等。事後嶺大學生會內閣「昶」發文指，對校方做法感錯愕，因今年一月起，持續與校方就《嶺南大學學生會承諾書》協商條文，但昨日被單方面告知，校方已停止有關協商。
學生會會長韓焯彥指，校方至今未有主動接觸學生會，亦無約章詳情，他希望校方詳細交代內容，以現有框架維持屬會架構和運作。外務副會長賴卓賢則指，與校方過去有「建設性對話」，雙方只差最後一款條文便落實簽署，「唔清楚校方點解會有 180度轉變」。嶺南大學回覆僅表示經審慎討論後，即日起「優化學生團體註冊程序」，以加強相關管理工作。

網民聯署反對港大邀請親以色列 KOL 演講 據悉6男女曾與保安爭執 港大稱因「不可預見情況」取消活動
The University of Hong Kong told Yahoo News that its School of Modern Languages and Cultures had cancelled the event because of “unforeseen circumstances”.
It is understood that, at the scheduled time of the event, six men and women who were dissatisfied with the arrangement argued with security guards. The six people were not HKU students. Some were suspected of being unhappy that the university had suddenly cancelled the public lecture, refusing to leave and arguing with security guards. Police arrived to look into the matter and initially considered that there was no criminal element. After recording the six people’s details, they left the HKU campus on their own.
港大回覆《Yahoo新聞》證實，港大現代語言及文化學院已取消該活動，原因是「不可預見的情況」（unforeseen circumstances）。
據了解，於原定活動舉行時間，曾有6名男女不滿有關安排，與保安員爭執。6名人士並非港大學生，疑有人不滿港大突然取消公開講座，拒絕離開，並與保安員發生爭執。警方到場了解，暫時認為沒有刑事成分，登記6人資料後，6名人士自行離開港大校園範圍。

Speaking at a National Security Education Day event, Secretary for Education Christine Choi said the mainland study tours organised by the Education Bureau aim to enable students, through exchanges and study visits, to gain first-hand experience and deepen their understanding of the country’s cultural, social and technological resources.

內地交流團爆腸胃炎 教育局：暫無證據顯示與膳食安排有關
The Centre for Health Protection earlier announced that students and teachers from three secondary schools participating in the Education Bureau-provided Shaoguan Danxia Cultural Mainland Study Tour had developed gastroenteritis symptoms. The schools were Sha Tin Government Secondary School, Lok Sin Tong Ku Chiu Man Secondary School and TWGHs Chen Zao Men Secondary School, with a total of 52 students and teachers reporting symptoms of acute gastroenteritis. Responding to enquiries yesterday amid public concern over poor hygiene at the restaurants where the group ate on the Mainland, the Education Bureau said a preliminary investigation by relevant Mainland authorities indicated that the cases were more likely to have spread through contact among group members or exposure to vomit from cases. There is currently no evidence that they were related to the meals arranged for the study tour.
衞生防護中心早前公布，先後有3間參與教育局提供的「韶關丹霞文化內地考察」交流團的中學，師生出現腸胃炎徵狀，包括沙田官立中學、樂善堂顧超文中學以及東華三院陳兆民中學，共52名師生出現急性腸胃炎徵狀。外界關注師生在內地用膳餐廳衛生情況惡劣，教育局昨日回覆查詢時表示，根據內地相關部門初步調查所得，個案較大機會由團友間的生活接觸或暴露於病例的嘔吐物造成傳播，暫時沒有證據顯示與考察團安排的膳食有關。
