Career
He is currently the representative of the Sun Tin Wai constituency of Sha Tin District Council. Ching is a Chinese language teacher at Diocesan Boys" School. In 2002, he opposed the school"s move from a free-of-charge Grant School to a fee-paying Direct Subsidy Scheme school.
He criticized the move as a unilateral decision which sidelined teachers from the decision-making process, citing an internal secret ballot which showed that 70% of the school"s teachers opposed the move.
He argued that the Direct Subsidy Scheme excluded poor families from high-quality education and reduced social mobility. Ching commented in 2013 that, since the school became fee-paying, there had been a substantial decrease in the number of lower-class students, and the school"s management had become less transparent.
