What is the difference between Hong Kong education and mainland education?

Schools in Hong Kong are managed by school-run groups. Each school has autonomy over students, teachers and educational policies.

The vast majority of schools in the mainland are directly managed by the government in order to implement unified education policies across the country.

Hong Kong’s education system adopts the British-style system, with students studying in five-year secondary schools. There is no formal distinction between junior high school and high school (but the syllabus is still divided into two stages, Stages 1 to 3 and Stages 4 to 5). Starting from the 2012-2013 school year, the school system was officially abolished and a new 3 3 4 school system was implemented. After the restructuring, the education system remains consistent with that of the mainland.
