Technical courses offer to secondary students
Government secondary technical schools offer a wide range of subjects in arts, science, technical and commercial studies for prospective secondary students.
A spokesman for the Education Department said today (Tuesday): "In addition to general core subjects provided by ordinary secondary grammar schools, Government secondary technical schools also offer technical and commercial subjects for students according to their interest and aptitudes.
"These subjects include electronics and electricity, technical drawings, design and technology, travel and tourism, typewriting and ceramics."
In addition to secondary studies, all Government secondary technical schools also offer sixth form classes for students wishing to pursue tertiary study.
At present there are nine such schools - three on Hong Kong Island, four in Kowloon and two in the New Territories.
Choices to enrol in secondary 1 places in these schools are included in the Secondary School Places Allocation (SSPA) system.
Parents of primary 6 students may consider choosing $1 places in Government secondary technical schools for their children when filling the SSPA form next month.
