Nearly 40 per cent of Hong Kong kindergartens at risk of closing unless government offers more aid, poll finds

By ITS Education Asia


A very worrying article from the SCMP reports on the difficulties faced by almost half of all Hong Kong kindergartens as a result of the Corona pandemic.

Nearly 40 per cent of kindergartens warn they might be forced to shut unless the government provides additional subsidies to help them. The figure is double what a similar poll carried out six months ago found.

The Professional Teachers’ Union (PTU) also said about 65 per cent of kindergartens reported teachers could be at risk of being laid off, while nearly 80 per cent were using their own financial reserves to stay afloat.
