Hong Kong to deny teachers practising certificates with insufficient training hours
AI Summary
Hong Kong's education authorities will deny practicing certificates to teachers who do not meet required professional development hours. Education Secretary Christine Choi Yuk-lin announced the proposal, a new measure introduced in September, which mandates teachers obtain certification from the Education Bureau, valid for a specific period and subject to renewal, in addition to existing registration. The government aims to ensure teachers are "fit and proper" and maintain professional standards. The proposal, scheduled for discussion on February 6, will also outline requirements for teachers rejoining the profession after a break. The Legislative Council's education panel will also address the Code of Practice for Private Schools following reports of some schools partnering with mainland Chinese agencies.
