校友代表姶英皇書院學校管理委員會的信

徵詢過資深法律意見之後,英皇書院學校管理委員會兩位校友代表今天以人手傳遞方式,把以下的信件送到英皇書院轉送委員會主席,按照章程他必須在七天內召開會議,在十四天內舉行會議。



大家在研讀這封信之前, 鼓勵大家重讀3月11日網誌提到孺子牛有關教育局和官校的關係的文章,這樣你會深入明白何以教育局早已把管理學校的權下放到學校管理委員會,這些都記載在立法會議的紀錄之內,不能一個人說了算。教育局能夠做的是委任獨立校董和游說委員們。

可惜教育局官員根本看不起人,沒有用心地去游說,祇會搞小動作,才會出現後來多數反對的氣氛。在發現不夠票的時候,在錯誤的時刻和地點祭出「權力」的旗幟,結果後來錯上再錯。


我在公務體系多年,深知「公權」的運用要看時空,以及事情發展的前因後果,在普通法中,這是普通常識。今次教育局出事,也許跟上層官員兩三年一調有關,他們往往還未知來龍去脈已經調走或者榮升。


中央人民政府對香港特別行政區政府的最低要求是依法治港,在教育這一塊,特區政府不及格。
