One More Teacher Disqualified by Education Bureau
The Education Bureau in Hong Kong disqualified one more teacher on November 12, 2020.
The Bureau announced that it issued a letter to a primary school teacher for "making serious mistakes" in teaching, "lacking competence" as a teacher and "not preparing for class", suggesting that teacher was not qualified, and thus the teacher's license was removed according to Education Ordinance.
According to various news sources, it was a General Studies primary school teacher from Ho Lap Primary School.
In April 2020, the said teacher introduced the opium war in a primary 2 General Studies class, and explained that UK started the Opium War to destroy opium in China.
The same teacher was accused of giving "wrong explaination" on the motive for ancient Chinese to invent paper as "substituting turtle shell and animals' bones in order to prevent the extinction of animals".
The Bureau stressed that the content "is obviously wrong and ridiculous".
Nevertheless, what the teacher had said actually came from the Education TV program (#ETV) produced by the Bureau itself.
Even if it is wrong, the teacher should not be banned for life.
