Schools reminded to vote in conduct council election
The Education Department reminded all kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, and special schools to collect ballot papers tomorrow (Monday) for the Council on Professional Conduct in Education election.
Assistant Director of Education (Services), Mr David Pun, said: "To ensure a smooth launching of the election for teacher-nominated categories, schools should collect the ballot papers from their respective District Education Officer or Senior Inspector (Special Schools Administration) tomorrow."
Each school will be issued an exact number of ballot papers according to the number of teachers eligible to vote.
"If schools choose not to participate in the election, they are not required to collect the ballot papers," Mr Pun said.
"But they should return a statement signed by all eligible voters in the school to this effect together with the blank Voting Results Return Form to their respective District Education Officer or the Special Education Administration Unit."
Mr Pun appealed to all full-time registered and permitted teachers, including school heads, regular and temporary teachers employed on a monthly basis to vote on Wednesday (April 24) to show support for the Council.
The Council on Professional Conduct in Education is a non-statutory body to advise the Government on measures to promote professional conduct in education, including the drafting of operation criteria defining the conduct expected of an educator, and advising the Director of Education on disputes or alleged professional misconduct.
