真係很難令人理解, 現今的父母包括自已對於子女的學習比N 年前的更為緊張, 花更多的時間和金錢去裁培子女, 現在多數父母都係一個起兩個止.  父母教子女的PLANNING 由大肚開始, 未夠一歲可能己去上英文PLAYGROUP,  ...

I think what you talk about are the middle class who can afford paying a lot on after school tutoring, but the study reflected the results of average general class.

In our generation, the British govt used 精英制; but now, the HKSAR govt used 普及制, the syllbus in the 9 years' free education is easier than before, together with the mother tongue policy, there is no surprise that the English proficiency of average general students dropped a lot.

可能真係只有middle class 才可以afford 很多的英文playgroup 或不同類型的英文interest class.

但全港的小童都會讀kinder 的, 現在我相信所有kinder 教的英文都會比n 年前的多和深.  

問題出在那兒呢??? 真係百 ...

I think the problems relate more with the easy syllbus of govt primary schools.  Do you notice that some elite schools teach one level higher than the average schools to raise the English standard of their students?  

As most kinders are private, they teach higher level of English, but when students join primary, the standard may drop gradually if the syllbus is comparatively easy.
