Why it matters

The Education Bureau’s response to questions from the South China Morning Post about the photos on Friday came a day after the principal of another Hong Kong school resigned for swearing at security guards during a class trip to Singapore.

Common ground

In one of the three photos circulating online, the teacher is seen lifting up the female student like a bride, with a blackboard in the background.
