The Central Radio and Television Headquarters released the feature film "Another Hong Kong" earlier and broadcast it on two local TV stations in Hong Kong. The second episode of the program mentions that the anti-revision laws are caused by problems with education in Hong Kong, which has caused young people to become more radical and to target the Education Association.

The Education Association issued a statement today criticizing CCTV for discrediting and stigmatizing the Education Association and the entire education community without any factual basis. It deeply regrets this and hopes that CCTV will value its reputation and correct its content.

The Education Association issued a statement today that the CCTV feature film "Another Hong Kong" made a series of false accusations, including claims that the Education Association was held by people with "ulterior motives". Hong Kong independence, inciting academia to protest in Victoria Park, etc., the above allegations are inconsistent with the facts.   

The statement pointed out that the program refers to the Education Association's support for the promotion of Hong Kong independence by middle school students. Specific political stances. 

Secondly, the program mentioned that the Education Association "incited academic circles to demonstrate in the Victoria Park." The statement stated that it was completely wrong, emphasizing that the Education Association is a teacher organization and will not directly contact students to attend activities. The episode presented in this program is a teacher parade launched by the Education Association in August last year, and the theme of "Guarding the Next Generation, Speaking for Conscience" peacefully expressed the voice of the education community. The location of the parade was not the Uighur Garden referred to in the program, but the Chater Garden. He questioned that CCTV obviously did not verify the content of the program, spread false information, and was completely out of touch with the facts.   

The Education Association also pointed out that the "Occupy Central" teaching material mentioned in the program contains the comments and positions of different political parties, and clearly stated that the purpose is not to encourage students to participate in "Occupation Central", but only for students to better understand the controversial issues in society, thus Establishing your own views and positions, but CCTV discredited and vilified the Education Association and the entire education community without any factual basis. I deeply regret this.

The Education Association pointed out that CCTV is expected to value its reputation, correct its content, and carefully verify the information when reporting in the future.
