Hong Kong’s education minister has revealed his bureau is processing other “relatively serious” complaints against teachers after it banned one accused of spreading separatism in the classroom for life.
But Secretary for Education Kevin Yeung Yun-hung on Saturday said they had yet to make up their minds on the outstanding “one or two” cases, and whether they would also lead to lifelong deregistration.
The Education Bureau earlier this week said it had deregistered a teacher at Alliance Primary School in Kowloon Tong and banned him from setting foot on any campus in the city.
“Whether the teachers will face deregistration depends on what their responses are,” Yeung told a radio programme.
Yeung said he would not disclose why the teachers were under investigation before their cases were concluded, although he hinted that political issues might not be involved.
