Yang Runxiong: The principal should explain to students that the National Security Law does not affect the rights and freedoms of Hong Kong people

The Secretary for Education, Yang Runxiong, today (10th) sent a letter to the principals of all primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong, describing that this school year was first affected by social events and then ushered in the epidemic. It is full of challenges. Thank the principal for caring and caring for the students and helping them study at home. Afterwards, he criticized the referendum activities and used the interests of the students as a bargaining chip to achieve political ends.

Yang Runxiong asked the principal to explain to the students that the National Security Law does not affect the rights and freedoms enjoyed and exercised by Hong Kong people in accordance with the law, including freedom of speech, news, assembly, demonstration, march, etc., as long as it targets four types of actions or activities that seriously endanger national security, That is to split the country, subvert the state power, organize the implementation of terrorist activities, and foreign and foreign forces to interfere in the affairs of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

Schools should not allow students to participate in referendums or strikes of any kind.

Yang Runxiong urged the principal to guide students to rationally analyze the right and wrong, and reiterated that the Basic Law and the Hong Kong legal system do not have a "referendum" system. "The so-called "referendum" has no constitutional basis, It also has no legal effect. Schools should not allow students to participate in these meaningless "referendum" activities, nor should they allow any kind of strike."

No strikes or teachings in schools are allowed. Yang emphasized that the Aided School Council or the Incorporated Management Committee under the Code of Aid can grant teachers a maximum of two days of special paid leave per school year, but only for "important and urgent private affairs", and strikes are not " Important urgent personal affairs." Yang Runxiong requires teachers to lead by example, and should not make any form of strikes or strikes. Otherwise, they will be negligent and the Education Bureau will seriously follow up: "Teachers are responsible for performing their duties. If teachers participate in the strikes proposed by these groups, they will not only deliberately fail to perform their duties. Duties, negligence of duties, and even the introduction of politics into the campus by hand, and even demonstrate to students to express political demands in violation of the rules, misleading students, and breaking the profession, the school should take disciplinary action, and the Education Bureau will also follow up seriously."

Calling slogans, chains of people, posting posters, or singing songs with political messages all make the school a political appeal venue. In the

past, many students would call slogans or pull chains outside the school, but Yang said that they called slogans, pull chains, and posted in schools. Slogans with political messages or singing songs with political messages are all "political statements", which will make the school "a venue for expressing political demands, destroying a harmonious campus, affecting other people's emotions and causing pressure, and affecting learning," also known as related actions. Or the name of "riding" schools, so schools should take appropriate measures to discourage activities and remind students to cherish "quiet and regular campus life and learning opportunities." As for individual students who did not follow, Yang asked the school to maintain discipline and order in accordance with the school-based training and punishment mechanism.
