Hong Kong's educators on Thursday expressed concern over the secondary school students' participation in political assemblies, calling it a "worrying sign".Hundreds of students, along with some teachers and parents, staged a rally at the Edinburgh Place, a public square in Central, adjacent to the Victoria Harbour, against the now-shelved extradition bill.Some students said they would hold strikes every Monday starting Sept 2, the first day of the 2019-20 academic year.Ho Hon-kuen, principal of Elegantia College, a local secondary school, called the assembly a "one-sided event" with no discussion on different views.One of their demands was the release of all the lawbreakers arrested during protests, which is "very dangerous" and goes against the city's core value-the rule of law, Ho said.Ho, who is also the chairman of a leading education group, Education Convergence, said that members of the secondary education system, including students, teachers and schools, should not be pulled into any political disputes.Echoing Ho, Wong Kwan-yu, president of the Hong Kong Federation of Education Workers, said the secondary school students should not be involved in political activities, as they are not mature enough in handling and comprehending complex political issues.Wong said their participation in the assembly on Thursday is a warning sign for the education sector and their parents.These students could easily be incited, Wong said. Peaceful assemblies and strikes are usually the first step for anti-government protesters in inciting these immature students, he warned.On Tuesday, Secretary for Education Kevin Yeung Yun-hung said the Education Bureau was against any form of strike. No one should use the school as a place to voice political demands or to use students to pressure the government, Yueng said.Late on Wednesday, protests inside and outside the Yuen Long MTR station paralyzed traffic.
