香港跨境学童增加 将聘20名退休关员抽查书包等|香港|跨境学童|抽查_新闻资讯

　　中新网11月30日电 香港跨境学童持续增加，对陆路口岸人手造成压力。香港海关早前聘请百多名退休关员执行限奶令，现拟“重施故技”，于下月聘请约20名退休关员，于上课和下课时间以95元(港币，下同)时薪兼职，协助清关工作。

　　据香港明报报道，香港教育局数字显示，上一学年的跨境学童数字为16356，比前一个学年上升27%。海关发言人证实，为加快处理跨境学童的清关工作，部门计划以非公务员合约形式聘用约20名有前线执法经验的退休海关人员，时薪95元。

　　海关关员工会主席陈明表示，口岸人手一向紧张，加上退休潮，估计整体口岸人手有20%短缺。据了解，海关由招聘至完成训练一名关员需时18个月，“远水不能救近火”，加上跨境学童问题并非永久性，待单、双非血统长大后情会改善，故特区政府不会永久增加海关编制。港府和海关在本财政年度各拨出62万元招聘，但海关有意长期聘请这班员工，故在4月份即下财政年度时会再争取资源续聘。

　　该批员工每周将工作5天，每天3.5小时，有上学或放学2个时段选择，估计每月收入7000多元，比限奶令近2万元月薪为少。工作主要是在文锦渡、落马洲和落马洲支线抽查学童书包和检查保母车等，避免有人利用学童走私和运毒。有前线关员表示薪金不算吸引，估计只会吸引住在北区的退休关员申请。有前线关员慨叹，特区政府不断增加海关工作量，但资源不足，令前线同事叫苦连天，最终只会增加违禁品“走漏眼”流入社会的风险。
