A list of schools with S6 vacancies will be displayed and updated weekly at all district education offices throughout September.
Students should apply to these schools direct but admission will be at the schools' discretion.
The department has received a complaint today about schools not following the admission procedure.
Up to 5.30 pm today, the department's central hotline and district education offices have handled 251 enquiries on matters related to the S6 admission procedures. This brings to 2,672 the total number of enquiries made at the hotline and the district education offices.
At the same time, the Careers Education Centre of the Education Department received 173 visitors and 126 telephone enquiries on matters related to the S6 admission procedures, further studies, locally and overseas, and careers by the time it closed at 5.30 pm today.
This brings to 1,615 the total number of people visited and 1,179 callers telephoned the centre since August 8 when the results of HKCEE were released.
