I refer us here to the case where the student died while at outdoor camps. Now, all the outdoor camps are run by MOE staff. We will never know when this change occurred but it sure seems reactive.

Can’t be that no one saw how slack the external vendors were? But ya, some of us noticed the trend that once a death occurs, something WILL change.

It has actually happened to teachers before. The grey area here is that reasons for death are often not as straightforward or clear, hence it becomes very hard to pinpoint it immediately and attribute it to "overwork", something which organisations would become very defensive about since this concerns their reputation.

This could also be the reason why it's so hard to find news about teacher feedback or responses? In fact, incidents concerning teachers are so hard to find in the news after a while. The above link used to be published on other news sites before, but cannot be found anymore (removed?) except on Stomp.
