Benefit from government subsidies to increase the attractiveness of articulating degrees

Principal Shi Meizhen accepted the inquiry of "Hong Kong 01" and pointed out that the current financial surplus of the institution is very high, and the enrollment this year has increased by 35% compared with the same period last year. This is mainly due to the government's approximately 30,000 non-means-tested subsidy to start the institution. The top-up degree courses are attractive, and advanced diplomas are also popular with students.

Looking at the documents of the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council, the actual number of students enrolled in the college in the 2016/17 school year was 303, which dropped to 241 and 217 in the next two school years. After the 2019/20 school year, it rebounded and rose to 256. The 2020/21 school year The number rose to 334.

The 2020/21 school year is expected to enroll 280 places, which is nearly 20% higher than expected.

Shimeizheng pointed out that the tuition classes use experienced teachers, and the fees are cheaper than those in ordinary shops. Institutions must "subside" half the cost of the tuition classes.

She pointed out that the opening of classes is to give back to the society and to help grassroots students to take the exam. It is not to open up "a way of making money," nor is it conceived as a "one-stop service" as a link between colleges and universities.

She pointed out that the publicity and registration of the HKDSE classes have just started this month, and no registration numbers are available.

As for the number of places, no final decision has been made. For the time being, each group will open one to two classes.
