Drop-out Rate Surges in Schools as Parents lose confidence in Hong Kong's Education System
On May 26, 2021, Hong Kong's Professional Teachers' Union (#PTU) published a recent poll result, revealing that both primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong are losing their students.
Out of 130 primary and 53 secondary schools that joined the survey, all of them recorded the departure of students in the school year 2021/2022.
70% of these schools have lost 1 to 20 students, while 30% have lost 21 or more. Among them, three schools saw more than 50 students leaving. Nearly one-fifth of the primary schools have to shrink the class of Primary One in the 2022/2023 school year.
More than 30% of the primary schools and more than 40% of the secondary schools stated the majority of the reasons for dropping out are emigration and pursuing education overseas.
The chairperson of the Professional Teachers' Union, Fung Wai-wah, said many parents in Hong Kong are very concerned about the political pressure, the introduction of national education and the government's changing education policy among others. Under the circumstances, more and more parents lost confidence in Hong Kong's education system, and chose to move out of Hong Kong with their children.

IPCC Said Nothing Wrong with Hong Kong Police Shooting Journist without Warning during #PolyUSiege
During the Anti-ELAB movement on November 18, 2019, pro-democracy protesters trapped in the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (#PolyU) attempted to break through the cordon line; however, the police outflanked them by splitting into 3 routes.
When a journalist from #StandNews was interviewing an arrestee, whose face was covered with blood, a sheriff from the Z4 Police Tactic Unit (#PTU) suddenly shot a #PepperBalls to the journalist's feet without warning.
Two years later, the Complaints Against Police Office (#CAPO) ruled that there was "nothing wrong" and the Independent Police Complaints Council (#IPCC) agreed with the classification.
CAPO replied in a letter regarding the case, claiming that police did not have a choice but to shoot the pepper balls and apply a minimum level of violence to disperse the crowd. The letter said that the aim was to "protect the police and the arrestees" and the reason was that "someone was non-stop chasing after the police" and "the police has asked people on site to leave, but they ignored".
There is a footnote in the letter, claiming that there is either a "misunderstanding," or "sufficient evidence showing the fairness and rationality of the actions carried out under #PoliceForceOrdinance."
