More fear of “Speech Crime” in schools under surveillance and censorship by the Hong Kong Education Bureau
After primary school teachers disqualified, everyone in the education felt shocked and worry about crossing the red lines of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Teachers avoid using news for teaching. “I feel hopeless about Hong Kong education,” a teacher said.

More Hong Kong Teachers Resign, as #WhiteTerror Sweeps Campuses
A wave of resignation is sweeping the Education sector in Hong Kong.
Apple Daily got in touch with one of these resigning teachers in the city. Ms Chan, a veteran secondary school teacher for over 10 years, said there was an atmosphere of terror in schools.
“We have been more cautious in our talk. We even stopped using social media all together. I genuinely believed there was freedom of speech. But in fact, there really are cases of warning due to online comments we've made.”
She revealed she won’t use current affairs as examples. “After all I don’t know what students think. I can be teaching about length, when I talked of the differences between miles and kilometres. But if I said 10 miles and 10 km are different*, would someone think I am mocking the police?”
*Editor's Note: On September 23, 2019, a police officer in Hong Kong ordered journalists to stand “10 miles” away, when he actually meant 10 metres.
