Organizations in Hong Kong that Help New Immigrants from the Mainland

Schools in Hong Kong are divided into government-funded schools, direct subsidy schools, private schools and international schools. Judging from the types of schools, schools can be selected according to economic needs.

Guanjin school

Generally speaking, it refers to public schools and aided schools, that is, schools funded by the Education Bureau. There is no need to pay tuition fees to apply for such schools, but it also means that the Education Bureau has the most say in the school's enrollment requirements, teacher-student ratio, teaching language, curriculum design and other related contents, and the teaching courses are generally local courses.

This is undoubtedly the best choice for parents who pay more attention to the cost performance of tuition fees, but parents who require more flexibility in teaching quality need to choose carefully ~

Direct Subsidy Schools

It is not entirely funded by the Education Bureau, so every DSS secondary school in Hong Kong needs to have its own characteristics, and most of them will offer IB courses, which have both teaching quality and international diversity, and are one of the popular choices for parents to prepare their children for further studies.

Private schools and international schools

Generally, they have their own teaching system, and the whole atmosphere is international, which is an excellent choice for children to go abroad in the future. However, unlike the above-mentioned schools, international schools and private schools will charge higher fees, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of tuition fees each year alone.

Therefore, secondary schools in Hong Kong have more autonomy and selectivity. Parents can choose the most suitable middle school for their children according to their own economic strength and training needs for their children. However, Hong Kong has its own set of rules for further studies. Parents must understand the procedures before applying, so as to get twice the result with half the effort.

First of all, secondary schools enrolling students in Hong Kong must be promoted to secondary schools in Hong Kong through the "Hong Kong Secondary School Places Allocation Method" (SSPA, also known as allocation in the Mainland). This is the procedure for allocating secondary school places in Hong Kong.

In the final stage of primary education, students in Hong Kong must participate in a set of secondary school promotion procedures formulated by the Education Bureau (or its predecessor) to decide which secondary school to attend.
