Blog: "Relationship Students" Must Pass Interview
The reporter searched the suspicion of integrating hackers' data in the "Primary One Admissions Series for 2020/21 School Year-Yinghua Primary School" and found that there were 5,135 applicants in total. The blog lists the total percentage of applicants who passed the first interview, and lists data indicating that "relationship students" must pass the interview. "The applicant's father is a graduate of Yinghua College" is the largest group of all relationship groups. The blog also stated that each "Student Kindergarten" principal in Sham Shui Po District could recommend a student to an interview with Yinghua Elementary School, and basically guaranteed the first interview.
The bloggers claimed that "all the data in this article came from narration or evaluation", and published the information on October 23, which has not been deleted.
