School told to step up values education in vaping case
The Education Bureau on Tuesday said it reached out to a secondary school in Tsuen Wan, after a video, purportedly showing a female student vaping inside a toilet with her schoolmates, went viral online. The video, which was posted on social media, showed several female students in school uniform taking a selfie inside a cubicle. One of them could be seen holding an e-cigarette. Po Leung Kuk Yao Ling Sun College later confirmed they were its students. The school said it was "very concerned" about the case, and had already set up meetings with their parents. "We are committed to nurturing students’ good character, and there are disciplinary and counselling mechanisms to provide students with appropriate support and guidance," a statement read. Responding to media enquiries, the Education Bureau said it was aware that the school had activated its crisis management mechanism. It reminded the school to strengthen efforts to cultivate correct values and behaviour among students. Edited by Aaron Tam
