After the S1 allocation is released earlier this week, the new primary six students must go to the assigned secondary school to complete the registration procedures today and tomorrow (8th and 9th).
After receiving the next school year's book list, many people immediately went to the bookstore to buy new textbooks to prepare for their middle school career.
The owner of Hanrong Bookstore Shi Hanji revealed that the cost of paper has soared this year, and booksellers have difficulty in freezing prices. The average textbook price is about 2% to 4% higher than that of last year. More textbooks, a full set of new books for Secondary One may be as high as 5,000 yuan.
Some parents bluntly said that the price of books was higher than expected, and they were worried that it would be difficult to buy all the textbooks after the consumer coupons were released, so they decided to buy the books first when they received the book list. La! It should be (coming out early), pre-buy books!"

Shi Hanji, the owner of Hanrong Bookstore, said that the cost of paper has risen by about 20% this year, and the price of textbooks is difficult to freeze as in the previous year. The average textbook price has risen by about 2% to 4%.
Shi bluntly said that he is not optimistic about the business volume this year. The population of school-age children in Hong Kong is small, and the cost of logistics, rent and labor has risen, making it difficult to make a profit. However, the store will continue its tradition for many years and continue to offer a 9% discount on new books.
Regarding the price of a full set of textbooks for Secondary One, Shi pointed out that most middle schools cost about 3,000 to 4,000 yuan for a set, slightly higher than last year (the average for the full set of last year was about 3,000 yuan); while some famous schools chose more books, or as high as 5,000 yuan.
The government-issued 5,000 yuan electronic consumer coupon will be "available" as soon as the 1st of next month.

The government announced that it will distribute 5,000 yuan electronic consumer vouchers for about half a year, and finally accept registration from citizens, and receive the first batch of consumer vouchers as soon as next month.
Chen Tai, the parent who went to the bookstore to buy textbooks with his son who was in high school, said bluntly that the books of Secondary One are twice as expensive as those of Primary Six. It is expected that together with school uniforms, the expenditure for the new school year will be at least 7,000 yuan. Caiyijia is 9% off, which is much more expensive and twice as expensive than Xiaoliu, and there are 8 copies that have not been bought."
I haven't applied for electronic vouchers. When can I use them?
When it comes out, it’s too late for me, and it’s troublesome if I don’t have a book!
It should be (coming out early), buy a book in advance!
Parent Mrs. Chen
Another parent, Mrs. Li, also said that her daughter decided to buy new books in the first year of high school. Although she had already registered to receive the coupons, she was not sure whether the coupons would be delivered as scheduled. So she decided to complete the registration procedures and receive the textbooks first. The daughter goes home to prepare lessons and prepares for the lessons in her ascent.
A poster for receiving electronic consumer vouchers has been posted in Hanrong Bookstore, but Shi Hanrong bluntly said that Hong Kong parents are generally nervous about their studies and will not wait until August to distribute consumer vouchers to buy books, and some textbooks will be available in August. I believe there will be parents With consumer vouchers, it is expected that most parents will buy books in early August.
He also said that due to the handling fee charged by some electronic consumer voucher contractors and the time required for installation, apart from the existing Alipay and Wechat pay, there is no plan to add other electronic consumer voucher devices.
