China Wenzhou launched "Teacher Ethics Code" to monitor teacher performance, points will be deducted if they violate code of ethics

(20 Nov) The quality of teachers has always been a matter of greatest concern to parents. Recently, Wenzhou, China has launched a "Teacher Ethics Code" program to monitor teachers' performance in order to evaluate and divide teachers into different levels. This approach has aroused heated discussion among netizens.

According to reports from China’s media, the Wenzhou Education Bureau recently launched the "Ouyue Teacher Ethics Code". The Education Bureau said that this "Teacher Ethics Code" will collect different data on all teachers in real time, and include both positive and negative reviews. Each teacher will get his own QR code.  Teacher’s ethics score will be displayed in one of the three colors: green means good ethics, no bad records such as violations to rules or code of ethics, etc. Yellow means that they have been criticized and disciplined for violations; In the end, red means that they have been warned, demerited, downgraded, dismissed or expelled due to violations.

The Chinese Education Bureau stated that it will provide teachers with a "disciplinary probation period" according to the degree of violation. If the performance during the "disciplinary probation period" is good, the color can be reverted to the original color . The Education Bureau stated that even if teachers change schools, they cannot change the color of the code. If a school has too many teachers with code yellow and red, the Education Bureau will issue a warning to the school, requesting the school to improve the construction of teachers' ethics and style. The Education Bureau emphasizes that the information on the "Teacher Ethics Code" is only for schools and teachers and will not be made public.

After the release of the news, heated discussions aroused among netizens. Some expressed their support and believed that it would help improve the quality of teachers. "This Teacher Ethic Code in Wenzhou is very good! It is recommended that it can be promoted nationwide" and "This can have a vigilant effect for teachers. "But there are also others who believe that the measures will only make it more difficult for teachers to teach attentively. "This is not a reason for schools to force teachers to do work other than teaching." "This decreases the rights of teachers, and becomes powerless against students who violate regulations.. The ultimate impact is on the quality of student education."

#Nottingham, Hongkongers in #UK Preserve Memory of 8.31 Prince Edward Attack

2021 marks the second anniversary of the 8.31 Prince Edward Attack by the police in 2019. As Hong Kong is under the tight grip of authoritarian control, there are no large scale memorial activities planned.

Overseas Hongkongers told their fellow Hongkongers that they have not forgotten this date.

In UK on August 29, 2021, the group "Nottingham Stands With Hong Kong" presented a large-scale silent skit titled "We Are the Chosen One", recreating scene after scene of heart-rending moments from the 2019 Anti-ELAB protests.

Participants posted photos and videos of the skit on Facebook, noting that "there are things that can't be done in Hong Kong now. We understand. So leave it to us overseas people."

The group explained that they wanted to preserve the memory of the events; however, it was even more important that the international community knows what happened in Hong Kong. "It doesn't matter if you're in Hong Kong or overseas. As long as you're a true Hongkonger, our hearts will be connected, and we'll remember what we promised to each other. See you under the Pot!"
