Secondary 6 admission procedure

The Education Department today (Thursday) announced details of the five- stage Secondary 6 Admission Procedure to tie in with the release of the results of the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination (HKCEE) next Wednesday (August 7).

An acting senior education officer, Mr Tang Fat-yuen, said: "A total of about 24,060 places in government, aided or bought-place secondary school will be available in September 1996 for application.

"This year, the Education Department will continue to provide the media with a floppy diskette containing a list of schools with vacancies at Stage II (August 8) and Stage IV (August 12). Some newspapers have indicated that they will publish the lists on these two days.

"The list with S6 vacancies in Stage II and Stage IV will also be displayed at all District Education Offices throughout the territory as in previous years."

Students from the following types of schools are reminded to find out which schools they are linked to:

schools which do not operate S6 classes

schools which operated only one stream of $6

private schools

evening schools

A perforated S6 admission slip will be attached to the HKCEE results notice. It should be noted that once a student accepts the offer of an S6 place, the admission slip will be detached and retained by the admitting school as a record of admission. Therefore students should consider carefully before accepting an offer. No school will admit a student without the S6 admission slip.
