教協與幼師再度會晤教育局 推行薪級表不能漠視幼師年資

本報記者

繼去年9月教協聯同近二十位幼師與教育局會面,就幼稚園政策發表意見,局方今年初再度約晤本會,但因疫情關係延至5月26日才能進行會議。

由於教育局曾就薪級表的初步構思諮詢校長意見,因此是次會議,與會幼師亦就已知的構思表達意見。幼師提出薪級表的一大原則,是必須尊重幼師年資,包括:參照公務員薪級表每年增薪一點,若教師表現有問題應另有程序處理,不應在每年的增薪點中容許彈性扣減;薪級表落實時或幼師日後轉校,計算薪點都應尊重幼師年資。幼師們特別提到,現時不少偏遠或收生較少的弱勢學校,教師薪酬長期偏低,有些資深教師現與新入職教師起薪點相差不遠,若推行薪級表時漠視這個問題,對資深幼師仍會造成不公。教協期望局方就薪級表具體方案廣泛諮詢教師,並為此提出時間表。 …… 閱讀全文

Education Bureau Puts Politics over Examination System  PTU Critises the Government and Pro-Establishment for Launching a Full Attack at the Education Sector

PTU News Reporter

Secretary for Education Kevin Yeung called a press conference on 15th May to claim the reference materials provided for a question about the Sino-Japanese relations in this year’s Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) history examination to be inappropriate. He demanded the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority (HKEAA) to invalidate the question and said personnel would be sent to the HKEAA to review their setting, vetting, and approval mechanism of the HKDSE questions. The Hong Kong Professional Teachers’ Union (PTU) criticized Yeung’s notion and his attempt at political missions at the expense of Hong Kong’s examination and assessment system. The PTU said recent events reflected the government and pro-establishment’s full attack at the education sector. PTU Vice-President and lawmaker for Education constituency Ip Kin-yuen said a letter would be sent to the Chairman of the Panel on Education of the Legislative Council, demanding an urgent meeting to discuss the event as well as retracting the decision. Ip reiterated the Japanese invasion had caused Chinese people devastating damage and the PTU had always been distraught by this invasion. …… 閱讀全文

疫情後,不再一樣的旅行

八千里路 ■ 原人

近日,疫情漸漸放緩,市面人潮漸多,熱門的郊野公園更擠得水洩不通。歐洲政府剛開始放鬆封城限制,香港政府有意一意孤行開放廣東遊客免檢疫來港,本地廉航亦有發售六月底往台灣的機票,不禁問旅行的歲月何時再回來呢?

這問題,如同問何時疫情才平復,當然只有神才能給予正確的回答。不過,近日不少傳媒都預言未來的旅行,將會甚麻煩,看來外遊不再是容易的事。 …… 閱讀全文

教育局以政治為先,摧毀考評制度 教協批評政府及建制派 全方位攻擊教育界

本報記者

教育局局長楊潤雄5月15日召開記者會,稱本年文憑試歷史科考試中有關中日關係的題目參考資料不當,因此要求考評局取消該題目。楊更稱教育局將派員到考評局,檢視考評局考題之審批機制。教協批評楊潤雄的說法極為錯誤,指楊潤雄為了政治任務,嚴重摧毀考評制度。教協指近期的事件反映,政府及建制派正全方位攻擊教育界。教協副會長兼教育界立法會議員葉建源表示,將會去信立法會教育事務委員會主席,要求召開緊急會議討論事件,並要求教育局撤回決定。葉建源重申日本侵華對中國人造成極大的傷害,教協一直對日本侵華的歷史心痛惡絕。 …… 閱讀全文
