The former assistant principal of a well-known high school has gone on hunger strike, claiming it is not living up to its reputation.
Paul Yip Kam-haw, who left Wah Yan College in 2010, camped outside the school in Wan Chai yesterday to begin his protest.
The Catholic school has educated key government officials over the years, including Chief Executive Donald Tsang Yam-kuen and Chief Secretary Stephen Lam Sui-lung.
One of his banners declared that Wah Yan's university entry rate was more than 60 per cent lower than other similarly ranked schools.
He said that figure had been revealed at a board meeting he attended while still employed at the school - but Wah Yan had not released the information to the public.
Yip, 43, said the school was being dishonest by not disclosing its performance statistics.
'I understand that it's unrealistic to ask for total transparency, but the school shouldn't tell lies.'
