Schools slow on sex-pest uptake
【補習, 上門補習, 補習介紹】
Less than half of schools have adopted a policy statement on sexual harassment, the Equal Opportunities Commission said.
Surveying 300 schools last month, the commission found only 47percent have such policies.
Research committee chairman John Tse Wing- ling described the situation as alarming.
“School principals seem to have tried to ignore the fact sexual harassment is happening around every corner on their campus every day,” Tse said.
Nearly 20percent of respondents said there is no need for a “zero-tolerance” policy statement because sexual harassment is not occurring.
A further 61percent said they have put the agenda aside as “staff are not trained in formulating the related policy statement,” and 45percent said there is “no urgency” to set out a statement.
Thirty-five schools revealed they have received complaints related to sexual harassment, yet nine among them are still reluctant to set out a policy statement, the survey found.
“Some are passively in denial,” Tse said. “School management worries society will label them if they highlight the problem in a high-profile manner. But frankly, school workers should face the fact that sexual harassment may be commonly found everywhere, every day.”
Tse said 69percent of schools have no intention of adopting a formal policy within the year.
Therefore, the commission will roll out three important tasks to encourage the education sector to face the issue proactively.
Individuals will be trained and dispatched across districts to pass on the message and educate the public.
The commission will also meet the Education Bureau to urge it to take the lead, especially among government and subsidized schools.
The commission will also draft sample policy statements on sexual harassment for schools to take reference from in deciding their own versions, Tse said.
“I hope a sample statement will help encourage management to take their first step in combating sexual harassment at schools.”
