    Teacher misconduct cases / Animal abuse

    On Monday’s Backchat, we’re looking into teacher misconduct.

    Some lawmakers have called on the government to implement more stringent checks on teachers as figures show that there were 304 professional misconduct cases involving teachers last year, three times the number in 2022. Out of those, 71 were struck off, 38 got reprimand letters and 149 received written warnings.
    Some of the more serious cases involved child abuse, theft, and teachers having inappropriate relationships or improper physical contact with students. And while the Education Bureau checks teachers’ criminal records every three years, critics argue that this is not enough.
    After 9:30, we discuss animal abuse, amidst a spate of suspected cruelty cases.

    Single use plastic ban / MTR 45th anniversary exhibition

    主持人:Danny Gittings and Mike Rowse

    On Monday's Backchat, we're talking about the ban on single use plastic.

    Starting Monday — which is Earth Day — catering premises will no longer be able to provide disposable expanded polystyrene tableware, which includes single-use plastic straws, stirrers, cutlery, and plates. Plastic cups and food containers will initially be banned for dine-in customers, before a blanket prohibition takes place early next year.
    On top of that, hotel guests can bid farewell to free plastic water bottles, plastic toothbrushes, and small-sized shampoo bottles in their rooms. Lodging establishments will now have to use alternative materials such as paper bottles and wooden toiletries.
    The government hopes this will help reduce waste, and minimise microplastic pollution of landfills and oceans, in line with Hong Kong's ambitions of reaching carbon neutrality by 2050.
    After 9:45, we talk about a public exhibition celebrating the MTR Corporation’s 45th anniversary, with vintage trains on display in Hung Hom.
