Under the tide of immigration, many primary and secondary schools have exploded with dropouts, and nearly 5,400 primary school students have dropped out in the 2020/21 school year.

The chairman of the DSS School Council, Chen Di-an, said on a radio program this morning that many schools have students withdrawing from school, especially in primary and secondary schools, describing the situation as common. "Not much difference happens every month." The same happens to teachers. It was revealed that some teachers had stated clearly that they would leave Hong Kong or change careers, and the salaries and benefits of DSS schools were not as attractive as those of government-subsidiary schools. Some teachers chose to take this opportunity to transfer to government-subsidiary schools, which might cause a shortage of teachers in DSS schools.

The chairman of the DSS School Council, Chen Di'an, said on a commercial program in the morning that in the past school year, many primary and secondary schools had students drop out. Most parents admitted that they wanted to go overseas to study or leave Hong Kong. The situation is more serious and common than in previous years. It often happens every month.” Therefore, many schools are recruiting transfer students for the first time in the next school year. However, there is no large number of students applying for transfer. It is believed that it is related to the difficulty of high school students in choosing courses.

He pointed out that it is difficult to say whether the wave of migration and immigration will come to an end, because of the epidemic situation in overseas countries, it is difficult to enter and start school, and it depends further on the situation.

As for whether there are returning students who have left Hong Kong, Chen Dian said that the situation has not yet become a major trend, and it cannot be said to be a "tide."

As for teacher immigration, he said that there were more teacher vacancies this year than before. During the peak recruitment period from May to July, he also saw more recruitment advertisements than in previous years. Some co-workers frankly said that they would leave Hong Kong or change careers, but emphasized Teacher immigration can be school transfer or immigration. It may also be described as a "musical chair effect." Teachers are transferred to other schools to work, making their original schools have to recruit new teachers. He admits that DSS schools are relatively passive in recruitment. , Because teachers’ salaries and retirement benefits are not as good as those in Tianjin government schools, teachers in DSS schools will tend to transfer to government schools, making DSS schools or existing teachers shortage.
