The Covid-19 pandemic is bringing many changes to schools in Hong Kong. This latest article from the SCMP is reporting on a temporary relaxation in the non-local student requirement for International schools.
Hong Kong education officials have agreed to temporarily relax rules requiring international schools to have at least 70 per cent non-local students, as operators struggle to meet the target with more expatriate families leaving the city amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Education Bureau told the Post that the short-term arrangement, which would still require a majority of the student body to be non-locals, could facilitate international schools’ stable development and maintain the city’s status as a global financial and trading hub.
This may be good news for some Hong Kong parents who wish their children to study and International syllabus instead of the local Hong Kong one.
