Four teachers have been cancelled due to the anti-revision turmoil. The Secretary for Education, Yang Runxiong, pointed out in the Legislative Council's Educational Affairs Committee earlier that in order to narrow the distance between condemnation and "life suspension", he is studying the introduction of cancellation of teacher registration. Within a time limit, the suspended teacher can re-apply for registration after the time limit, but it is necessary to provide a strong justification to prove that it is suitable to be a teacher.
The director of the Education Association, Feng Weihua, criticized on a radio program today (10th) that the "black box operation" of the Education Bureau's punishment mechanism does not conform to procedural justice. He also believed that if the deadline for cancellation of teacher registration is set at 3 years, it would be too long.
Deng Fei, the vice chairman of the Federation of Education, hopes that the Education Bureau can clearly define what is meant by "serious delinquency" and the need for permanent suspension of trading, and believes that it is best to follow the social movement in 2019.
Feng Weihua questioned that the Education Bureau's delay in the appeal process is unfair to teachers
Feng Weihua questioned that the cancellation of the registration of four teachers by the Education Bureau from last year was a political operation. The process was a black-box operation, which did not conform to procedural justice. If the Education Bureau decides whether the suspended teachers can resume their trading, I believe it will be difficult for teachers to have enough confidence.
Regarding Yang Runxiong's example, the cancellation deadline for teacher registration may be set at 3 years. Feng Weihua believes that it is too long. Because the suspension for 3 years has seriously affected their livelihoods, the suspended teachers will also worry about their future problems. They may not apply for registration again after 3 years.
Feng Weihua also criticized the Education Bureau for prolonging the appeal process, saying that the first teacher was suspended in September last year due to an anti-revision incident. The teacher filed an appeal within the time limit. However, the Education Bureau has not yet formed an appeal committee and questioned the authorities' "slow freeze". Do it slowly" is unfair to teachers.
Deng Fei said the approach is different from other industries and urges the authorities to further explain
Deng Fei believes that the punishment mechanism in the education sector in the past was too simplistic, and the mechanism in other sectors such as the medical sector was relatively complete. However, he described the education bureau’s proposal as a “new wave” in which the suspended teachers had to re-apply for registration on their own, rather than as in other sectors. Generally, classes will be automatically resumed after a certain period of suspension, and the authorities hope to further explain the "strong justification" that needs to be provided when applying for registration.
He continued that if the teacher suspension period is set at 3 years, the biggest problem is that teachers’ salaries have to be recalculated and cannot be increased by seniority. He believes that if a suspension period of 3 months, half a year, or one year can be set for teachers in other sectors, The impact of salary will be minor.
When asked how to define "serious misdemeanour" that would result in a permanent suspension of trading, Deng Fei said that generally speaking, if a sexual crime is involved, it is highly likely to be a serious misconduct. It can provide a response to the social movement in 2019.
