HONG KONG (China Daily/ANN): The city’s leader and the education chief said on Tuesday that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government is determined at all costs to weed out the “rotten apples” on campus and safeguard the teaching profession to ensure quality education for Hong Kong’s budding young minds.
Such unwavering commitment was hailed by a prominent educator and parent in the city, after the Education Bureau announced on Monday that a primary school teacher was deregistered for “deliberately disseminating pro-independence messages” to his Primary Five students during life education classes. This means that he will no longer be licensed to teach in Hong Kong.
