An Education Bureau spokesman on Tuesday refused to address the allegations, but said it attached great importance to the discipline of those joining the tour.
“The Education Bureau held a mainland study tour to Wuhan for new teachers from May 8 to 11,” he said.
“The tour ended as scheduled. However, before the return trip, we were informed that one member could not return to Hong Kong with the tour.”
The spokesman said the teacher and his school were told to submit a report to education authorities.

The bureau would also closely liaise with the school, as well as comprehensively review the relevant information and handle the case seriously, he said.
