Hong Kong teachers told classrooms are no longer a safe space for discussion | erykbagshaw
Teachers at international schools in Hong Kong have been warned that classrooms are no longer a safe space for discussion as Beijing ramps up restrictions across the education sector.
IB teachers are being told they cannot advocate for Hong Kong independence, illegal anti-government protest or any activity that seeks to undermine the authority of either the Hong Kong government or Beijing."Is the classroom a ‘safe space’ for debate and discussion? NO," the document sent to International Baccalaureate teachers states.
In another scenario teachers were told that students wishing to write an essay about sensitive topics including Hong Kong politics "should not go in the public domain, should not be published or posted on social media and they should not ask for help from outside tutors".
