<p>香港的私立学校如果管理不善，可能会被要求停止运营或撤销注册，这一新指引由教育当局发布。教育局在周五发布了一份针对私立小学和中学的操作规范，原因是有报道称管理不善——包括一些学校涉嫌提供未经授权的课程，并在未获批准的情况下向家长收取费用。文件指出，教育局可能会向违反该规范的私立学校发出咨询或警告信。在运营商申请注册、政府补贴以及费用修订和收取时，教育局还会考虑以往的不合规案例。文件中提到：“如果学校的管理不善，教育局常任秘书可以指示学校采取补救措施。” 并且 “如果情况严重，教育局常任秘书可以命令学校停止运营和/或取消学校的注册或临时注册。” 教育局强调，将认真跟进涉及不合规问题或非法行为的私立学校。该文件列出了良好实践的基本要求，并将作为学校检查的 “参考依据”。教育局表示，遵守该规范将被视为评估学校整体表现的重要因素。这份 65 页的操作规范禁止私立学校在未获批准的情况下与其他实体合作提供正式课程，包括公共考试课程。文件还指出，学校不得 “收取任何费用，除非是费用证明上列明的综合费用”，并且不得在未获许可的情况下更改年度学费。教育局局长蔡若莲表示，该规范将有助于提升私立学校的质量，助力香港成为国际教育中心。她在社交媒体上表示，政府将继续完善该规范，提高私立学校的教育质量和问责制。蔡还提到，私立学校行业的代表对该规范反应积极，认为其为运营商提供了明确的指导。该规范是在市长李家超去年九月在政策蓝图中宣布将加强私立学校治理四个月后发布的。去年九月，因被指控与一家大陆的补习中心合作提供未经授权的公共考试课程，私立的宗悫中学的执照被撤销。教育局还在去年八月暂停了另一所私立机构——创新中学的运营，因其涉嫌与第三方合作，使香港以外的学生能够获得补贴的大学课程资格。三个月后，该校校长和一名董事因涉嫌在未获批准的情况下向多位家长收取 180 万港元（约 232,000 美元）的费用而被逮捕。</p>

<p>Hong Kong’s private schools could be ordered to cease operating or have their registration revoked if their management is deemed unsatisfactory under new guidelines issued by education authorities. The Education Bureau released a code of practice on Friday for private primary and secondary schools, following reports of poor management – including some allegedly offering unauthorised courses and collecting fees from parents without approval. The document said the bureau might issue an advisory or warning letter to private schools that breached the code. It would also consider previous cases of non-compliance when operators sought its approval for applications for registrations, government subsidies, and fee revisions and collections. “If the management of a school is unsatisfactory, the permanent secretary for education may direct the school to take remedial measures,” the paper said. “If the situation is serious, the permanent secretary for education may order the school to cease operations and/or cancel the registration or provisional registration of the school.” The bureau stressed that it would follow up seriously on private schools involved in non-compliance issues or illegal acts. The document set out basic requirements for good practices and would be used as a “reference basis” for school inspections, the bureau said. It added that compliance with the code would be deemed an important factor in assessing a school’s overall performance. The 65-page code of practice prohibits private schools from collaborating with other entities in offering a formal curriculum, including public examination courses, without approval. It also said the school should not “charge any fees whatsoever other than the inclusive fees” as printed on the fee certificate, and could not change its annual school fees without permission. Secretary for Education Christine Choi Yuk-lin said the code would help boost the quality of private schools, aiding the city’s drive to become an international education hub. She said in a social media post that the government would continue to enhance the code, stepping up private schools’ education quality and accountability. Choi added that representatives of the private school sector had a positive response to the code, which provided clear guidelines for operators. The code was issued four months after city leader John Lee Ka-chiu announced in his policy blueprint last September that the governance of private schools would be stepped up. That month, the licence of the privately run Tsung Tsin Middle School was revoked after it was accused of collaborating with a mainland Chinese tutorial centre to provide unauthorised public exam courses. The bureau also suspended another private institution, Inno Secondary School, last August after it allegedly collaborated with a third party to enable students outside Hong Kong to qualify for subsidised university programmes. Three months later, the school’s principal and a director were arrested for allegedly collecting HK$1.8 million (US$232,000) in fees from several parents without approval.</p>
