教育局推資源套列教師不恰當行為 籲勿叫學生花名、搭肩合照
The Education Bureau launched the “Guidelines on Teachers’ Professional Conduct” late last year, listing things teachers “should” or “should not” do, including “consciously safeguarding national security”. Yesterday (15th), it uploaded a school training resource kit detailing four case scenarios for teachers to discuss whether the conduct was appropriate. One involved putting an arm around a student for a photograph; the bureau said teachers must not engage in unnecessary physical contact simply because they are familiar with students, and must “consciously maintain an appropriate social distance from students”. Another case involved a teacher calling a student by the nickname “Quail”. The bureau said the conduct set a bad example for students to imitate, adding that “even if calling a student by a nickname is intended to express goodwill and affection, this behaviour is still inappropriate.”
教育局去年底推出《教師專業操守指引》，列出教師「應該」或「不應該」做的事情，如要求「自覺維護國家安全」。教育局昨（15日）再上載學校培訓資源套，詳列4宗個案情境，供教師討論是否恰當；其中包括與學生搭肩合照，局方指不能因與學生熟絡而作不必要的身體接觸，須「自覺地與學生保持適當的社交距離」；另一個案則講述教師以花名「鵪鶉」稱呼學生，當局指行為作不良示範使學生仿效，「即使是表示善意和親暱地叫學生的花名，這行為都不可取。」

蔡若蓮：教師遇「未有定論」事件 不應在課堂討論部分人「所謂意見」
The Education Bureau announced the Guidelines on Professional Conduct in Education the day before yesterday (15th), listing various things teachers “should” or “should not” do, requiring them to “consciously safeguard national security”, among other requirements, and setting out eight aspects of teachers’ professional conduct and personal morality. Secretary for Education Christine Choi Yu-lin denied on a radio programme this morning (17th) that the Guidelines would restrict teachers’ speech on social media. She said general criticism was not a problem, but teachers should not make remarks advocating violations of social order. She also said that when discussing events in the course of social development on which no conclusion has been reached, it was inappropriate for teachers to make hasty judgments without knowing all the facts and bring some people’s “so-called opinions” into classroom discussions, as this could easily cause students to develop prejudice and preconceived ideas.
教育局前日（15日）公布《教育專業操守指引》，列多項教師「應該」或「不應該」做的事情，要求教師「自覺維護國家安全」等，並歸納出8項教師具備的操守和個人道德。教育局局長蔡若蓮今早（17日）在電台節目上否認《指引》會限制教師在社交平台上的言論，認為一般批評無問題，但不應發表鼓吹違反社會秩序等言論；又指在討論社會發展中、未有定論的事件時，教師不知道事實的全部下妄下判斷、將部分人「所謂意見」帶到課堂上討論不恰當，容易令學生有偏見及先入為主。

蔡若蓮：如涉刑事及本質上犯錯或永久「釘牌」 稱教師對《指引》期待已久
The Education Bureau yesterday published the Guidelines on Teachers’ Professional Conduct. Teachers who seriously violate the rules may face lifetime deregistration. Education Secretary Christine Choi Yu-lin further explained that if a teacher was involved in criminal conduct and was struck off for fundamentally wrong conduct, there would definitely be no opportunity to re-register, saying, “There is no way we can accept that they would affect our students,” and “there will be no chance of successfully applying for registration again.” She also said the profession had long awaited the guidelines, believing they could protect teachers and safeguard the profession, and that after being alerted, teachers would not easily engage in conduct that violated professional standards.
教育局昨日公布《教師專業操守指引》，教師如嚴重違規，可面臨終身「釘牌」。教育局局長蔡若蓮進一步解釋指，如教師涉及刑事及本質上犯錯後被「釘牌」，肯定不會獲得重新註冊的機會，稱「無辦法接受佢係會影響我哋學生」，「再成功申請註冊嘅機會就無啦」。她又表示，同行對《指引》期待已久，認為可以保護老師、守護專業，在有所警惕後便不會容易作違反專業行為。

教育局公布新《指引》 教師須自覺護國安、舉報潛在風
The Education Bureau today announced the Guidelines on Teachers’ Professional Conduct, listing various things teachers should or should not do and summarising eight aspects of teachers’ conduct and personal morality. The guidelines require teachers to “abide by the rule of law”: they must not only obey the law personally, but also “consciously safeguard national security”. Teachers are required to report to school management and the police, among others, when they receive “information that violates generally accepted moral standards in society” or “discover any potential illegality or non-compliance on campus”. Teachers involved in serious misconduct may have their licences suspended for life and be barred from re-registration.
教育局今公布《教師專業操守指引》，列舉多項教師「應該」或「不應該」做的事情，並歸納出8項教師具備的操守及個人道德。指引要求教師「恪守法治」，不謹個人要守法，還要「自覺維護國家安全」，教師被要求收到「違反社會普遍接受的道德標準的資訊」時，或者「發現校園內有任何潛在違法違規時」，須向學校管理層及警方等舉報。涉及嚴重失當的教師，可以終身停牌不得重新註冊。

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」

教育局：再多兩教師被「釘牌」 消息：一人為龍翔官立中學教師 另一人涉反修例運動被定罪
By the end of April this year, the Education Bureau had cancelled the registration of four teachers in total. Of the two newly added cases, one was found to have committed professional misconduct. Sources said the person was a government secondary school teacher accused of persistently using a large amount of material presenting a single and biased perspective, with an emphasis on “denigrating the country and inciting students’ resentment towards the country and the Chinese people”. The other teacher struck off was deregistered after the authorities said the person had engaged in unlawful acts and was convicted by a court.
教育局直至今年 4 月底，合共取消 4 名教師註冊。新增的兩人中，其中一人被指控專業失德投訴成立，消息指為官立中學教師，被指控持續採用大量、單一角度和偏頗立場的材料，「側重貶損國家、挑起學生對國家和中國人民反感」。另一名被「釘牌」教師，當局指因為涉及違法行為、被法庭定罪，繼而被取消註冊。
