The Hong Kong Education Bureau estimates that by 2029, the new population of the elementary school will fall by 36.5%to 31,500.
According to the Hong Kong News Agency, Hong Kong Education Director Cai Ruolian Cai Ruolian on Monday (April 15) responded at the Special Finance Committee of the Legislative Council that the government has adopted a variety of methods to reduce its impact.
Cai Ruolian said that the response measures include deciding to assign the number of students in each distinction, and promoting small class teaching in elementary school.If some schools have potential risks, they will discuss with school groups as soon as possible and make early planning, including application for merger or resetting.
Some members are worried that the current measures will not change, and a large -scale shrinking class will occur. It is recommended that the Education Bureau considers that the current primary school in the fifth class will be reduced to the fourth class.Surgery primary schools jointly implement small class teaching.
Cai Ruolian means that the student's well -being will be given priority. If the ability of individual school groups is not good, it will barely ask the school to exist forcibly, and will eventually hurt the students.
