武漢肺炎襲港，全港學校停課，以幼兒教育界受最大影響。部分幼稚園家長停繳或無力承擔學費，對幼稚園營運造成莫大影響。政府上周公布向幼稚園發放津貼，緩解幼稚園的經濟壓力。本身是幼稚園校長的教協理事梁秀婷表示，措施有助緩解幼教界的燃眉之急，但預計部分學校在資助下仍面對財政困難，希望政府加強支援力度。

捍衛瀕危物種：從打擊非法野生貿易開始
自然而言 ■ 嘉道理農場暨植物園 李潔華

※ Closure Notice of Chinese New Year Holiday ※
|
The education sector has been under constant attack by the government and the pro-establishment since June last year and the situation only aggravated in recent months. The Education Bureau openly imposed pressure on school managements by demanding them to suspend teachers who have been arrested or have received complaints. Complaints were found guilty even before comprehensive investigation and the bureau claimed deregistration could be considered as consequences. Interview with Defiant Teacher Raymond Yeung: Fear Not, Teachers As social movements sparked by the extradition law amendment bill and police brutality persist, 80 teachers and teaching assistants have been arrested over the past six months. Secretary for Education Kevin Yeung claimed teachers who were found guilty of professional misconduct would be severely punished, causing White Terror to spread in the education sector. Education Bureau Warns to Severely Punish Teachers Guilty of Professional Misconduct The Education Bureau said earlier that it was considering penalties for teachers who have been complained against and teachers who have been arrested over the recent protests. The penalties could include warnings, reprimands, or even deregistration. It added that teachers who were involved in serious crimes should be immediately suspended and all cases would be vigorously processed. Secretary for Education Kevin Yeung said later that principals who supported investigated teachers might be reconsidered from a management perspective and subsequently disqualified.
