數天前，有機構發表調查報告，他們訪問了1,500個小五至中二學生，竟然發現有約三成受訪者有潛在情緒問題和自殺可能。
A few days ago an organization released a report on its survey of 1 500 students from Primary Five to Form 2 which surprisingly revealed that about 30 % of respondents had potential emotional problems and suicide risk
學校是否已成為一個巨大的壓力鍋？
Have schools become a pressure cooker?
這個情況令很多人也很憂慮。
This situation is worrying
對於有情緒困擾的學生和家長，政府各政策局和部門、學校、社福機構需要築起安全網，做好預防、及早識別、介入，防止悲劇一而再，再而三地發生。
Policy bureaux government departments schools and social welfare organizations should build a safety net for students and parents troubled by emotional distress through prevention early identification and intervention to prevent tragedies from happening again
政府提出的建議基本上是泛泛而談，沒有實質的具體措施。
The Governments recommendations are basically empty words without the support of concrete measures
例如，在加強生命教育方面，報告只有短短兩段，只重申教育局會"鼓勵學校透過校內課程規劃，提升學生的抗逆能力"，以及"會繼續與大學、專業團體及伙伴學校合作，發展教學資源，並為教師舉辦有關的培訓活動"等，這只是老調重彈，沒有處理核心問題。
For example in the report only two paragraphs were dedicated to the strengthening of life education to reiterate things like schools will be encouraged to enhance students resilience in their school - level curriculum planning and EDB will continue collaborating with universities professional bodies and partner schools for developing learning and teaching resources and organizing related training programmes for teachers . The Government is simply playing the same old tune and fails to address the core issue
代理主席，在其他國家和地區，生命教育已發展得非常成熟，反觀香港，生命教育只是"德育、公民及國民教育"的一部分。
Deputy President whereas life education is already well - developed in other countries and places it is only part of Moral Civic and National Education in Hong Kong
教育局並未為中、小學生的生命教育設計完整的課程框架，欠缺具體的課程建議，亦未有好像其他科目般規定學校要教授甚麼，完全由學校和教師決定。
The Education Bureau has not yet designed a complete curriculum framework or provided concrete curriculum proposals for life education in primary and secondary schools . It has also failed to specify the curriculum content of life education in the same manner as it does for other subjects but simply let schools and teachers decide what to teach
試問教師本身已有沉重的教學壓力，他們又如何把生命教育做得好呢？
When teachers are already overloaded with teaching duties how can they design life education courses properly?
代理主席，在校本管理下，學校有更大的自主權，但如果學校的經營者只着重管理，強調競爭和效益的評核，追求排名和分數，各個教育持份者的壓力只會有增無減。
Deputy President schools can have greater autonomy under school - based management . However if school operators just focus on management competition effectiveness assessment higher rankings and higher scores all education stakeholders will be further hard - pressed
代理主席，學校內知識灌輸太多，功課太多，心靈上的教育和交流太少，學校實在有必要加強生命教育。
Deputy President in schools there are too much knowledge to pass on and too much homework to hand in but too little heart - to - heart education and communication to take place
在這方面，政府有需要作整體的規劃，加強生命教育的師資培訓，同時為學校和教師提供更多支援，減輕教師的工作和行政壓力。
Life education must hence be strengthened in schools . To achieve this the Government should develop an overall plan and better equip teachers to teach life education . At the same time it has to increase its support to schools and teachers so as to reduce the workload and administrative duties of teachers
最後，原議案提出"盡快成立獨立和專業的教師公會"，我們認為在討論有關建議前，應該先加強現有的機制，完善教育人員專業操守議會的職能，加強《香港教育專業守則》的推廣和應用。
Lastly regarding the measure of expeditiously establishing an independent and professional General Teaching Council proposed in the original motion we hold that before this proposal is put on the table the Government should improve the existing mechanism to perfect the functions of the Council on Professional Conduct in Education and step up the promotion and application of the Code for the Education Profession of Hong Kong
因此，我會就原議案投棄權票，支持張國鈞議員的修正案。
Therefore I will abstain from voting on the original motion and support the amendment proposed by Mr CHEUNG Kwok - kwan
在香港，除了老闆級的人，任何要上班的人也知道，正規地提出一些投訴是有代價的，自己要想清楚後果。
In Hong Kong except those at the bosses level everyone who has to work knows that there will be a price to pay for lodging a complaint formally . So one must think about the consequences thoroughly before lodging one
這是不負責任的說法。
It is irresponsible to say so
當然，這情境暫時只是我們一面之詞，但大家要記得權力最終在僱方，即校方。
Certainly such a scenario is merely regarded as our one - sided statement for the moment . However we have to bear in mind that the power rests ultimately in the hand of the employer ie . the school
教育是人類社會最偉大的事業，十年樹木，百年樹人，將人類的文明精神一代又一代的延續下去，所以我認為教師的精神壓力更加大，因為那種使命感是存在的。
As the saying goes it takes 10 years to grow a tree and 100 years to nurture a man . It endeavours to carry on the spirit of human civilization generation after generation . Therefore I consider that teachers have even greater mental pressure because of the presence of that particular sense of mission
現在整個故事便等於香港的縮影。
The whole story now is a miniature of Hong Kong
大家試想想那些字眼："小圈子"、"自己人查自己人"、"山寨王"、"我最權威"，"權力使人腐蝕，絕對的權力使人絕對腐蝕"，是否全部都耳熟能詳？
Let us think about those wordings small circle peer investigation tinpot dictator I am most authoritative power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely . Do they all sound familiar?
每一個組織也讓人覺得是私人俱樂部，"自己友"、"拍膊頭"、"圍威喂"。
Each and every organization just gives people the impression of a private club for cronyism amongst peers
當然，成立一個死因研究庭讓大家說清楚，沒有無辜的人被控訴是最好的。
Surely it would be the best if a coroners court can be formed to allow everyone to have a clear representation so that no innocent will be accused
事發時，有新聞界朋友跟我說，他向教育局局長追問時，對方當然是一聲不吭。
At the time when the incident happened a press fellow told me that the Secretary for Education did not reply to his enquiry at all
現在實行校本管理，作為局長如果發聲，會被認為是說三道四、指手劃腳、干預校政，有需要便找他好了；如果他不說，大家卻又會批評他，說他不負責任等。
With the implementation of school - based management now any comment from the Secretary will be regarded as an irresponsible remark made indiscreetly to interfere school governance so it would be fine to let schools contact him when needed . If he makes no comment people will then criticize him for being irresponsible etc
甚麼調查最終也是一如部分社論所說的"各打五十大板"，雙方也有錯誤的，大家當作沒事發生，回去工作，明天繼續上班。
All investigations will ultimately come to the conclusion that as written in some editorials both sides are at fault and require penalty . Both sides have made mistakes so everyone would just take it as if nothing had happened get back to work and go to office as usual tomorrow
代理主席，我首先感謝葉建源議員動議這項"檢討校本管理的推行"議案的辯論。
Deputy President first of all I would like to thank Mr IP Kin - yuen for moving this motion on Reviewing the implementation of school - based management
當然，整件事的觸發點是最近發生的天水圍東華三院李東海小學教師自殺的悲劇，當中涉及該校校長濫權及不當的人事管理。
Undoubtedly this motion was triggered by a recent tragedy of the suicide of a teacher at Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Leo Tung - hai LEE Primary School in Tin Shui Wai which involves an abuse of power and improper personnel management on the part of the school principal
同時，據傳媒報道，校長迫令這位後來自殺的教師寫悔過書，她已寫了一次，但校長不滿意，並強迫她回去再寫，最後這位教師在投訴無門下，被迫走上絕路，從學校大樓跳下來，報道更指她當時身穿紅衣。
Also according to media reports the teacher who had committed suicide was forced by the school principal to write a statement of repentance but after she submitted the statement the school principal was dissatisfied and forced her to rewrite it . Since the teacher had nowhere else to lodge her complaint she finally resorted to a tragic means and jumped to death on the school campus . It was reported that she was wearing red clothes back then
她在承受這麼大的冤屈下自盡，我們聽到後，也感到非常難過，為何香港的教育會走到教師自殺這地步？
She committed suicide after receiving such unjust treatment and this is very saddening to us . Why would education in Hong Kong drive teachers to end their lives?
我大學畢業後曾在一所中學任教兩年，當然多年後，我到大學任教，至今已接近20年。
After graduating from college I taught in a secondary school for two years and then of course I became a university lecturer many years later and have been teaching for nearly 20 years
其實大學裏也有很多類似的投訴，我最近也應投訴者邀請，陪伴他出席由大學成立的投訴委員會的會議。
In fact there are many similar complaints in the university . Recently I was invited to accompany a complainant to attend the meetings of a complaints committee set up by the university
我當然不希望再有任何悲劇發生，但我希望教育局局長能認真地審視，無論是大學、中學和小學現時的情況。
I certainly do not want to see any more such tragedies so I hope that the Secretary for Education will earnestly examine the current situation of universities secondary schools and primary schools
我相信正如我的同事林卓廷議員剛才所說，我相信教育界內有這麼多位教師和校長，他們大部分都是很盡心盡力工作，很值得我們尊敬。
I believe just as my colleague Mr LAM Cheuk - ting said earlier most of the teachers and school principals in the education sector are very dedicated to their work and worth our respect
原則上，我們支持教育局下放權力，令學校能夠透過由校內不同持份者參與及組成的法團校 董會自行管理學校的事務。
We support in principle the Education Bureau to devolve its powers to enable schools to manage their own affairs through the Incorporated Management Committees IMCs that involve and comprise different school stakeholders
教育局下放權力是需要的，但現在的問題是，有關權力的行使有否足夠的監察？
While there is a need for the Education Bureau to devolve power the question now is whether there is sufficient supervision on the exercise of such power
我認為教育局下放權力後，最需要的配套是校政民主化。
In my opinion it is imperative for the devolution of power by the Education Bureau to be supported by the democratization of school administration
教育局下放權力後，我們希望學校的管治人性化，能夠善用資源和處事合理。
We hope that through the devolution of power by the Education Bureau school administration will become more humanized with optimal use of resources and reasonable practices
此外，制度上的另一漏洞其實早於1970年代已出現。
Another loophole in the system was actually identified in as early as the 1970s
當時因金禧事件，曾經作出一些調查。
At that time investigations were conducted in respect of the Golden Jubilee School incident
教育司署在1979發出一則通告，指出要建立雙線的諮議制度，包括教育署與教師代表之間的定期諮議制度，以及校董會與教師代表之間也有定期的諮議制度，確保不會由校 長一人掌管及壟斷所有資訊，以致意見無法上呈至校董會或教育局。
In 1979 the former Education Department issued a circular announcing the establishment of two consultative systems namely a regular consultative system between the former Education Department and teacher representatives and a regular consultative system between IMCs and teacher representatives . The objective was to ensure that no school principal could control and monopolize all information and hinder the submission of views to IMCs or the Education Bureau
這類諮議制度在1979年已經寫下來，但有否執行？
This kind of consultative system was already spelt out in 1979 but has it been put in place?
新上任的校長面對一間爛攤子學校，根本無法管理，於是請辭，另一位新校長9月份便會上任。
The school principal who recently assumed office found that the school was a mess and it was impossible to manage it so he resigned and another new school principal will assume office in September
事件在2017年發生後，今年有老師死控東華三院李東海小學......
Following the incident which occurred in 2017 a teacher committed suicide this year as accusation of the TWGHs Leo Tung - hai LEE Primary School I think that the mistakes and loopholes of school - based management make all Hong Kong people become losers
今天發生東華三院李東海小學事件後，坊間指責該校不應太高調處理，但該校可以做甚麼？
After the TWGHs Leo Tung - hai LEE Primary School incident there are accusations that the school should not handle the incident in an excessively high - profile manner . But what else can the school do?
獨立調查委員會在既有的校本制度下也沒有實權。
The Independent Investigation Committee has no real power under the existing school - based system
如果問我是否完全接受或認同原議案及修正案，其實我對當中一些建議有所保留。
If I am asked whether I fully accept or agree with the original motion and the amendments I will say that I actually have reservations about some of the proposals
例如，陳志全議員剛才提到，葉建源議員的原議案第七項建議成立一個獨立的教師公會，以評核教師資格。
For example Mr CHAN Chi - chuen mentioned just now that item 7 of Mr IP Kin - yuens original motion proposed establishing an independent and professional General Teaching Council for assessment of teacher qualifications
他們因為校譽而選擇不報警。
They chose not to report the incident to the Police for the sake of the reputation of the school
我很高興今天數項修正案對於檢討校本管理的大方向、大精神均表示同意，並達成共識。
I am delighted that the amendments today agree with the general direction and spirit of reviewing school - based management and a consensus has been reached
聽罷今天的發言，我認為整體而言，大家都有一個強烈的共識，就是校本管理固然是很好的概念，但在實施方面確有很多問題要處理。
After listening to Honourable colleagues remarks today I think there is a strong consensus that school - based management is a very good concept but there are a lot of problems with implementation that should be dealt with
何啟明議員、張國鈞議員及許智峯議員的修正案皆肯定了這個方向。
Mr HO Kai - ming Mr CHEUNG Kwok - kwan and Mr HUI Chi - fungs amendments affirm this direction
我認為何啟明議員的修正案中有數點是特別好的，毛孟靜議員剛才也想指出，但不知道是否我打算提出的要點。
I think that there are some remarkable points in Mr HO Kai - mings amendment . Ms Claudia MO also wanted to raise some points just now but I am not sure if they are the key points that I intend to make
舉例說，何啟明議員就校董會內民選產生的教師代表的選舉方法，提出了一些能夠確保其公平、公正性的重要措施。
Mr HO Kai - ming has proposed important measures to ensure the impartiality of the process in electing teacher representatives in the Incorporated Management Committees IMCs by democratic elections
然而，我在原議案的第三項建議"小組成員應加入獨立人士"，但何議員的修正案卻刪除了"獨立人士"並改為"教育局官員"。
I propose in item 3 of my original motion that the panel should include independent persons in its membership . However Mr HOs amendment deleted independent persons and substituted officials of the Education Bureau
張國鈞議員的修正案也有一些好的地方，例如在第二項提及處理申訴的過程，他特別強調"在必要時亦須由教育局介入，以糾正有關學校的管理問題"。
There are also some preferable points in Mr CHEUNG Kwok - kwans amendment eg . item 2 refers to handling school complaints and he particularly stresses that where necessary require intervention by the Education Bureau to rectify the management problems of the relevant schools
關於這一點，我在此要特別澄清，教師公會並不是我們今天突然提議成立的。
On this point I would like to clarify in particular that the establishment of a General Teaching Council is not proposed suddenly today
至於加強《香港教育專業守則》的推廣及應用，我對此是同意的。
As for stepping up the promotion and application of the Code for the Education Profession of Hong Kong I have no objection
我最近到訪芬蘭了解當地的學校管治制度時亦發現，學校的管治的確是由各持份者包括家長、教師甚至學生共同參與，這對學校來說應該是很好的幫助。
I recently visited Finland to understand more about their school governance systems and I found that all stakeholders including parents teachers and even students participated in the school governance systems which should be very helpful to the schools
代理主席，我相信今天葉建源議員動議這項議案，雖然表面上與東華三院李東海小學老師的不幸自殺事件有關，但總體而言，都是跟校本管理制度改革直接相關。
Deputy President although the motion moved by Mr IP Kin - yuen today appears to be related to the suicide of the teacher of Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Leo Tung - hai LEE Primary School on the whole it is directly related to the reform of the school - based management system
校本管理制度自推行以來，其客觀效果是出現漏洞，就是當校長及辦學團體站在同一陣線，辦學團體雖然有代表在校董會內，但很難要求校董會能夠處理學校很多日常事務，特別是校內的人事關係。
Since the implementation of school - based management we have seen the objective effect of a loophole . When school principals and school sponsoring bodies SSBs form an alliance even though SSBs have their representatives in the Incorporated Management Committees IMCs it is very hard to ask IMCs to handle the large number of businesses in the schools every day especially in respect of matters concerning the personnel relationships in schools
這種日常的人事關係，校董會很難輕言介入。
IMCs can hardly interfere in this kind of daily interactions among various staff
當出現學校高層與老師的權力關係問題或一些人事問題時，老師往往投訴無門。
When there are power struggles between the top management and teachers or when personnel issues arise in school teachers have no channel to lodge their complaints
當他要離開那間學校，大家都會想到他感到很無奈，對他來說亦欠缺保障。
In the end he had to leave the school a place where he had taught for years . We can imagine how helpless he felt when he left the school and how insecure his position was
大家不要忘記，即使日後有以民主方式產生的教師代表，你猜那位教師代表易做嗎？
We must not forget that even if there are teacher representatives returned by democratic elections in future do you think it will be easy to serve as a teacher representative?
若有其他老師向他提出申訴或指出學校的問題，他很多時便會成為學校內的反對派，可能成為辦學團體或學校高層所不喜歡的人物。
If teachers lodge complaints with him or point out problems in school to him very often he will become the opposition party in the school which may turn him into an unwelcome figure in the eyes of SSB or senior management in the school
相信肯做教師代表的人，承擔很大，他所走的路相當於一間公司內的工會代表。
I believe that whoever willing to serve as a teacher representative has to make much commitment and he will tread the same path as that of a labour union representative in a company
但是，教師代表有別於工會代表，他背後並無一個團體給他支援，不會有集體談判的情況，因此我理解葉議員提出要成立獨立及專業的教師公會，希望除教師代表外，亦有一個獨立的專業組織。
However unlike a labour union representative a teacher representative does not have an organization to back him up; neither will there be collective bargaining . Hence I understand why Mr IP proposes to set up an independent and professional General Teaching Council in the hope that other than teacher representatives there will also be an independent profession organization
在出現問題時，除了有教師代表可跟校董會及跟教育局溝通，藉以調和老 師與學校高層之間的矛盾外，亦有一個工會接受教師申訴，甚至為他們發聲。
When problems come up apart from teacher representatives who can communicate with IMCs and the Education Bureau to resolve the conflicts between teachers and the top management of the school the General Teaching Council can accept the teachers complaints or even speak for them
我相信這是互相補足長短的關係。
I believe this will help complement one anothers strengths and weaknesses
張國鈞議員刪去"以民主方式產生教師代表"，當然我對此有保留，他想委任哪位老師做代表？
Mr CHEUNG Kwok - kwan deletes the phrase teacher representatives must be returned by democratic elections concerning which I certainly have reservations . By whom does he want the teacher representative to be appointed?
許智峯議員提議增加家長參與校政機會，讓不同持份者參與校務管理，多些參與校政上的事務，都是值得鼓勵的。
Mr HUI Chi - fung suggests increasing the opportunities for parents to participate in school policies . It is encouraging to see different stakeholders participate in the management of the school and participate more in handling school affairs
不過，我覺得今天我們怎樣討論甚麼權力關係，如何改善制衡制度等，到頭來我們都無法迴避一件事，就是政府究竟扮演甚麼角色？
However I feel that no matter how much we discuss the relationship of power and how to improve the check and balance system in the end we cannot evade one issue which is the role the Government
如果政府能夠接納葉建源議員的原議案及議員修正案的意見，當然是好事，可為校本管理設立一套更具問責及制衡效果的制度。
If the Government accepts the suggestions put forward in Mr IP Kin - yuens original motion and other Members amendments it is of course a good thing as it will establish a stronger accountable system with the effect of checking and balancing the school - based management system
我為今次的議案作準備時，與黃碧雲議員一樣看過以往"金禧事件"的教訓，當最後所有制度都無法處理糾紛，政府無可避免要介入時，由於當時沒有校本管理制度，港督麥理浩要成立調查委員會調查。
When I was preparing for todays motion like Dr Helena WONG I also looked at the Precious Blood Golden Jubilee Secondary School incident that happened in the past to see what I could learn from it . When that incident happened all systems in place then were unable to resolve the conflicts and hence the Government could not avoid interfering in it . Without the school - based management in place then the Governor of Hong Kong Crawford Murray MACLEHOSE had to set up an investigation committee to look into the matter
我認為不一定要走到這一步，但起碼有一個良好的制度處理有關矛盾是重要的。
I think that this step could have been avoided but at least it is very important to have a good system to resolve conflicts
主席，今時今日的香港容不下一張平靜的書桌，之前是學生的書桌，今天是教師的書桌。
President Hong Kong in these days and age has no place for a quiet desk; formerly it has no place for students and now it has no place for teachers
近日一名教師在校園墮樓身亡，據聞與學校的日常管理有關，為何校長可以任意妄為，為何校本管理和教師投訴機制可以失控並缺乏監管？
Recently a teacher jumped to her death on a school campus and this was reportedly related to the daily management of the school . Why is it that a principal could act wilfully? . Why could school - based management and the mechanism for handling teacher complaints got out of control and lack supervision?
因為這些問題，葉建源議員今天提出有關"檢討校本管理的推行"議案，讓立法會有機會在《2004年教育條例》制定15年後有機會在這裏再次討論。
Due to all these problems Mr IP Kin - yuen has proposed the motion today on Reviewing the implementation of school - based management so that the Legislative Council can hold a debate again on the Education Amendment Ordinance 2004 after it has been enacted for 15 years
教育局自2004年提出校本管理，要求以往由辦學團體全權管理的校董會，增加教師、家長和校友代表，當時引起很大爭論。
The Education Bureau introduced school - based management in 2004 and required that teacher parent and alumni representatives should be added to management committees previously under the complete management of the sponsoring bodies . This caused much controversy back then
辦學團體當時對改革並不放心，因為開放校董會，意味着辦學團體要下放權力。
Sponsoring bodies were then uneasy about the reform for the opening up of management committees meant the devolution of power by the sponsoring bodies
不過，經過多次辯論後，《2004年教育條例》獲得通過，至今已15年，學校相繼成立法團校董會。
However the Education Amendment Ordinance 2004 was passed after several rounds of debates . Fifteen years have passed since then and schools have established their Incorporated Management Committees IMCs one after another
教育局推行校本管理的目的，其實是配合持份者參與學校管理和決策的世界大趨勢，要透過權責下放，讓學校有更大的自主權，令學校可以更靈活地管理校務、運用資源和計劃學校的發展。
The Education Bureau has implemented school - based management to dovetail with the global trend of stakeholders participating in school management and decision - making . Through devolution of power schools can enjoy greater autonomy and manage school affairs deploy resources and plan for school development more flexibly
校本管理亦讓學校主要的持份者能夠直接參與學校決策，提高學校管治的透明度和問責性。
School - based management also allows major stakeholders of schools to participate direct in their decision - making thus enhancing the transparency and accountability of school governance
在我2016年參選立法會的選舉政綱中，我提出了共管機構的概念，當時我是這樣寫的：要真正改善服務的質素，管理是必須及不必然是惡的，只是我們需要一種有別於垂直式的管理，而是大幅地提高不同機構持份者的參與，例如使用者、社區居民及前線同工。
In my manifesto for the 2016 Legislative Council Election I proposed the concept of NGO in co - management . I then wrote to truly improve service quality management is mandatory and not necessarily evil only that we need a style of management that is different from vertical management and we should significantly enhance the participation of stakeholders of various organizations such as users local residents and frontline co - workers
在機構的架構內，應該要加入更多使用者及同工的聲音，包括董事會等。
The voices of more users and co - workers should be heard within the framework of organizations including the board of directors
管理的準則，應以機構的使命、服務的目標、持份者的意見為本，打破所謂前線與管理者的隔閡。
Management criteria should be based on the mission of organizations service targets and stakeholders views thus removing the barrier between frontline workers and the management
讓學校和機構有自主權、持份者能參與其中、讓學校和機構更民主、更開放透明，這種管治理念我是認同的，並認為非常重要。
I agree with the governance philosophy that schools and organizations should enjoy autonomy stakeholders should have their participation and schools and organizations should be made more democratic open and transparent . I consider this philosophy very important too . But there is a problem
但問題是，校本管理促成了校董會，並增加持份者的參與，這是否等於學校能夠自主？
School - based management has facilitated IMCs and increased the participation of stakeholders but does this mean that schools enjoy autonomy?
這是否等於校園能更民主、更開放透明？
Does this mean that school campuses have been more democratic open and transparent?
相信如果大家留意近日有教師以自殺所作的控訴，加上兩年前屯門興德學校事件，大家必然會同意，其實學校中的濫權和專制未有因為成立校董會而自然消失。
If we have noted the recent appeal of a teacher made by way of her suicide and the Hing Tak School incident of Tuen Mun two years ago we will certainly agree that abuse of power and despotism in schools have not vanished naturally with the establishment of IMCs
那麼，我的問題是，究竟香港尚欠甚麼？
In that case may I ask what Hong Kong still lacks?
政府、辦學團體、教師、家長還可以做甚麼，以達致校園民主，告別專權？
What can the Government sponsoring bodies teachers and parents do to achieve democracy on campus and put an end to despotism?
權力使人腐化，濫權和專制的出現是基於缺乏權力的制衡。
Powers are corruptive . The emergence of abuse of power and despotism is attributed to the lack of checks and balances
《2004年教育條例》本來希望加入不同的持份者，以制衡辦學團體或校長的權力，但校董會很多時候根本沒有打破垂直式的管理，權力的科層仍然在學校發生。
The Education Amendment Ordinance 2004 was originally intended to introduce various stakeholders to check the powers of sponsoring bodies or principals but in many cases IMCs have failed to smash vertical management . The hierarchy of authority is still present at schools
這種由上而下的管理方式，導致校政民主化不能發生，教師和家長依然難以參與校政。
Such a top - down style of management inhibits the democratization of school administration and teachers and parents still find it difficult to participate in school administration
當辦學團體和校長的權力缺乏適當的制衡，專權管治便會發生。
When the powers of sponsoring bodies and principals are not properly checked despotic governance will naturally come about
