How to make children transfer smoothly after immigration in Hong Kong?

Many parents of new Hong Kong immigrants are reluctant to send their children to Hong Kong for kindergarten. They want to wait until their children are older before transferring to Hong Kong to study. In this way, it is not easy for them to change classes and get into good schools. Let's take a look at how to make our children transfer classes smoothly after emigrating from Hong Kong.

What are the ways to transfer classes in Hong Kong?

There are two main ways:

1. Choose your favorite school, knock on the door and contact the school to express your desire to enter school. But first, we must determine whether there are any vacant degrees in the school. If there is a school, it will consider whether to accept according to the applicant's comprehensive performance, and generally arrange a written test first;

2, through the arrangement of the Hong Kong Education Bureau, but they don't directly provide you with a degree, they just do liaison work, and the school has its own autonomy whether to admit or not.

In principle, students can study in Hong Kong as long as they have Hong Kong identity cards or official residence visas. Whether it is government-funded, direct subsidy, private or international schools, registration can be accepted.

Can I catch up with the progress of studying in Hong Kong from the Mainland?

Due to the particularity of bilingual and trilingual teaching in Hong Kong schools (local schools), students who transfer from the mainland to Hong Kong will inevitably encounter problems such as not knowing Cantonese, not having basic knowledge and not being able to keep up with English. Therefore, targeted study before enrollment and extracurricular tutoring after enrollment are essential.

Kindergartens and primary school students are more adaptable, and they can integrate into the environment in 3-6 months and keep up with the curriculum. The younger the child, the faster he can adapt. This is why I have always stressed to parents that parents should let their children go to Hong Kong as soon as possible if conditions permit, and the sooner they go, the easier it is to adapt. In this way, children will encounter fewer problems and difficulties, and it is not easy to cause too much learning pressure for children. For parents, there will naturally be less things to worry about in adapting to convergence.

Do I have to be downgraded when I transfer from the mainland to Hong Kong?

Whether it is necessary to downgrade depends on 2 points: 1, the learning level of students; 2. Vacancy of school degree. Under normal circumstances, the school does not want students to be demoted, but if the students' ability can't keep up with the colonel's courses and they have a degree in the lower grades, the school will consider demotion.

Do I need to tutor my children and then change classes?

Yes, the school recruits students according to the principle of merit-based admission, and its standards are:

Evaluate the school performance in the past 2 years.

School entrance examination results (written test and interview)

Extracurricular study experience and certificates, etc.

Entrance exams usually include Chinese, math and English.

Interview evaluates students' logical thinking, language ability and self-management ability.

Therefore, if students can make up lessons and interview training first, the enrollment rate can be greatly improved.
