Due to factors such as the wave of immigration and the decline in the population of school-age school children, the academic community is facing a crisis of shrinking classes and killing schools. The Education Bureau announced earlier that after counting the number of students in the new school year in September, there are two public-sector secondary schools that can only operate one class this school year.


Due to factors such as the wave of immigration and the decline in the population of school-age school children, the academic community is facing a crisis of shrinking classes and killing schools.

The Education Bureau announced earlier that after counting the number of students enrolled in the new school year in September, there are two public-sector secondary schools that can only operate one S1 class this school year. The two schools involved must apply to the Education Bureau for school development plans, such as other Only when schools or institutions jointly run courses, merge with other schools, or conduct special inspections, can they continue to operate.

The two schools are also located in the Eastern District of Hong Kong Island, namely the "Caritas Chaiwan Madden Foundation Secondary School" and the "Min Kiu Secondary School".


Ye Shuting, the development consultant of Minqiao Middle School, replied to "Hong Kong 01" today (4th), reiterating that the school has successfully opened three classes of Secondary One freshmen in recent years, and the school sponsoring organization also intends to continue to operate the school. For the first enrollment of this school year, the school is under-enrolled and will be accepted by the Education Bureau. It is difficult to accept the requirement to submit a development plan, even facing the merger and killing of the school.


Li Yunting, a graduate of Minqiao Middle School, was shocked at the crisis of her alma mater: "I don't even feel that the school will reach this point. I feel so shocked. In previous years, the school was taught in small classes, and the old students did not feel that the school was facing an insufficient enrollment problem." She emphasized that the school provides abundant resources for students, and even invited seniors who have successfully entered the university and won stars in the diploma examination to return to school to provide academic counseling, which made her yearn for university life and successfully admitted to the University of Hong Kong.

Min Kiu Middle School is a subsidized co-educational school. According to the School Profile of the Education Bureau, the school has also opened three secondary one classes in the past two academic years.

School: Less than one class is allocated in a unified way

Ye Shuting, a development consultant for Minqiao Middle School, pointed out that the admissions this school year was affected by many factors, such as the tide of immigration, the decline in the number of school-age students in the Eastern District, and the lack of customs clearance between China and Hong Kong. Many new immigrant students did not come to Hong Kong to study.

She bluntly said that as far as she knows, the number of students assigned to the school during the unified allocation of degrees in the school year of 2021/22 is much lower than the number of students in the first class. There are so few people from the department, of course the school will work harder on its own (accepting students)!"

She believes that it is unfair to ask the school to change the direction of development and even face "life and death" if the Education Bureau is short of enrolling students for one year. I commend and confirm the school's teacher team. I know that there will be some news in mid-October. It is contradictory and uncomfortable. It is really unfair to set life and death for one year. The number of school-age students in the Eastern District this year is very small. "

She revealed that the school has applied to the Education Bureau for a delayed response to the development plan report, and will tentatively choose the "special inspection" arrangement. It is hoped that the Education Bureau will give the school time to improve, including requesting prominent public figures to become school consultants to assist in reforms and recruit students. There have been publicity in the past, but the department tends to be low-key, and there will be more briefings in the future."

Min Qiao Middle School won the "Fourth Moral Education Outstanding Teaching Award" co-organized by the Education Bureau and the Nanlian Education Fund.

She described that she had no concept of the compulsory general subjects at that time, and she had "no exposure to general subjects before", and the English teaching made it difficult for her to keep up. Fortunately, the school teacher helped to inspire enrollment exams after class, and used games and activities. Raised her interest in learning English in other ways.

In high school, due to the general financial situation of her family, she did not plan to take tutoring. How could the school set up free after-school tutoring classes for students to sign up voluntarily, that is, the school hired college students who had won stars in the diploma exam to the school, free of charge for those who would like to participate. Students provide sub-subject group counseling, "Because the family economy is general, the tuition is not a must-have item, I have not come out to tuition, thank you for the school for inviting star tutors, such as the senior elder brothers and sisters. He will share college life and college courses, so that we all want to go to college, and none of them are ordinary tuition teachers."

She emphasized that Minqiao School is willing to invest resources on students, and the teachers are also dedicated to teaching and caring about classmates. Even if she asks for help from the middle school teacher after she goes to university, the teacher is very enthusiastic and hopes that more students will have the opportunity to feel the love of Minqiao Middle School in the future.
