中學辦交流團雲端收集學生回鄉證疑泄個資 教育局要求校方交報告
A secondary school has been accused of mishandling students’ personal data, potentially compromising their privacy. Students at Lok Sin Tong Leung Kau Kui College in Sai Ying Pun recently posted on social media alleging that, while preparing for a mainland exchange trip, the school required them to upload their Home Return Permit information to Google Drive. However, appropriate access restrictions had not been set, allegedly allowing anyone with a school account to view and download the students’ personal data without authorisation, raising concerns that the privacy of the students concerned had been compromised.
The school responded in a notice to parents yesterday (22nd), saying that after learning of the incident, it immediately instructed the class teachers of the relevant classes to cancel the cloud-drive link and delete all uploaded copies of identity documents. It also said that a comprehensive investigation had confirmed that no copies of students’ identity documents had been found to have been leaked.
The Education Bureau said it had contacted the school immediately regarding the incident and followed up in accordance with established procedures, including requiring the school to submit a written report to the bureau explaining the incident. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data said it had launched an investigation in accordance with established procedures.
有中學被指不當處理學生個人資料,恐令學生私隱外泄。近日有西營盤樂善堂梁銶琚書院學生在社交平台發文,指控學校在預備學生到內地交流團時,要求學生將回鄉證資料上傳至Google Drive雲端硬碟,但未設定合適權限限制,導致任何持有學校帳戶者可在未經授權下,查閱及下載學生的個人資料,擔心相關學生的私隱因而外泄。
校方昨日(22日)向家長發通告回應事件,稱得知事件後,已即時指示相關班別的班主任取消雲端硬碟連結,並刪除所有已上載的證件副本檔案,又指經全面調查確認,未發現學生證件副本外泄的情況。
教育局指,已就事件即時聯絡學校,並按既定程序作出跟進,包括要求學校向教育局提交書面報告交代事件。私隱專員公署則指,已根據既定程序展開調查。

初中宗教科指引設「明辨媒體」 鄧飛:確立學生「求真」意識
The newly revised curriculum guide for junior secondary religious education will be implemented for Secondary One students from the new school year. In addition to helping students understand, develop and practise a sense of national identity, religious studies teachers will also teach them “media discernment”. Some religious figures, however, believe the topic appears to be directed at the media and that “information discernment” would be more appropriate. Tang Fei, vice-president of the Hong Kong Federation of Education Workers and a Legislative Council member, said on a radio programme that modern religious communication relies heavily on the media, so the curriculum design for “media discernment” serves a purpose and is not targeted at the media. He said all major religions “seek truth”, and believed the guideline aimed to establish such conscious awareness.
新修訂的初中宗教教育課程指引將於新學年中一級開始推行,宗教科教師除了幫助學生認識、培育和踐行國民身分認同等,也要教授他們「明辨媒體」。不過,有宗教人士認為該課題如「衝着媒體而來」,認為改為「明辨資訊」更合適。教聯會副會長、立法會議員鄧飛在一個電台節目表示,現代的宗教傳播大量借助媒體,因此「明辨媒體」的課程設計有作用,並非針對媒體,而各大宗教都「求真」,認為引旨在確立一種自覺的意識。

跑會向學生派「香港加油」毛巾 遭校方沒收兼報警
Last month, Tai Po Hong Kong and Kowloon Districts Women’s Association Sun Fong Chung College issued a notice to members of its running team, saying it was collecting “black towels” distributed outside the school by a former teacher without the school’s permission. The towels bore the school’s English abbreviation and “inappropriate wording” and “patterns”, and had been proposed for students to use in competitions. The school said the design might pose legal risks and advised students not to use or publicly display the towels. The person in charge of the running club told The Initium that he was a former teacher at the school and that the towels were farewell gifts for students. He stressed that he had proactively explained the matter to the principal, had never suggested that students use the towels in competitions, and had instead asked them to use them discreetly as keepsakes, but had received no response to date. He believed the words “Hong Kong Add Oil” were not illegal and criticised the school for reporting the matter to the police, thereby placing students in an unjust position.
大埔港九街坊婦女會孫方中書院上月向長跑隊隊員發通告,稱收回一名離職老師在校外派發未經校方允許,印有校名英文簡稱及「不恰當字樣」和「圖案」的「黑色毛巾」,並提議學生在比賽中使用,但圖案可能存在法律風險,建議學生不要使用和公開展出。有關的跑會負責人向《獨媒》表示,他為該校的前教師,毛巾是送給學生的離職禮物。他強調曾主動向校長解釋,未曾建議學生在比賽中使用,反著他們低調使用,當作紀念品,但至今未獲回應。他認為「香港加油」字眼並非違法,批評校方報警反令學生陷於不義。
