The Alliance for Peace and Democracy has set up a hotline for teachers, parents and students to report anyone inciting student strikes at schools.
This comes as student activist group, Scholarism, is considering action to protest Beijing's restrictions on universal suffrage.
The alliance said information provided to its hotline would be confidential but if it receives two or more reports on one school, it'll inform the school's principal, its parent-teacher association and the Education Bureau immediately.
It may also disclose the name of the school to the public.
The alliance says the hotline is intended to prevent students from becoming victims of the current dispute over political reform.
Its convenor of the Alliance, Robert Chow, dismissed suggestions that the hotline was a form of "white terror" - by encouraging the public to act as informants on each other.
