According to 123kaichi's information, the allocation is roughly as follows:

Local students - JUPAS                                   73%
Local students - Non JUPAS (sub-degree)        9%
Local students - Non JUPAS (IB, GCE AL etc)   6%
Non local students                                            12%

If she'd like to stay in HK for study I will still be happy.

I just feel much relax after switching my little boy to non-DSE stream and go for IB curriculum.  While my elder son is still studying in the DSE stream, the lessons/ curriculum is much less interesting and stimulating.

I just become alert of the DSE problem after assisting my friend's daugther to attend the DSE Chinese exam in April.   I really can't stand for the MC question for :

DSE Chinese Exam 2013:
今天清晨，我交給你一個歡欣誠實又穎悟的小男孩，多年以後，你將還我一個怎樣的青年？Students were asked about the rhythm and rhyming

Yes,  even the author cannot answer correctly as reported by the news!  How can they evaluate the kids with these close question?! that ridiculous!

Just thinking when to switch my elder son to IB if situation doesn't improve

But bear in mind, IB not fit all kids in general, language proficiency is extremely important. If your elder son matches IB curriculum and teaching method, that's wonderful.

Sadly!   Both of them are not good at Chinese!

The other way might be get off after taking ICGSE!

Hi all! I'm new to this forum and I'm a new mom! My son is turning two soon. I've been doing some research and looking through information between LS and IS. Me and my husband don't like the pressure going to interview for little kid as young as a year old. After all, my son was not even speaking at that time.

So we sent him to Tutortime for playgroup and now at Anfield for Nursery. We also plan for him to go back to the US to study when he's around 13-14. My only concern is ( and I wonder if anyone of you have the same situation) his proficiency in Chinese reading and writing. My in-laws are Taiwanese and my husband's base is in HK/china. I would like to take the advantage of the 10 years time while my son is in HK to learn the basic of reading/writing Chinese.

So I start looking into some LS school (though some claim to be IS but i still believe they are not truly IS) like Learning Habitat, st cath, Keen mind, victoria, Ming sung, etc. but I'm very afraid I may regret.....

Do you guys, who picked IS, take your kids to ECA for extra help in Chinese?

Tks ckwliu!

Yes, sure we'll further review and pray together.   

This summer, when his little brother made the decision to join Y6 of the IB stream, my elder son had told me that he preferred IB.   He said it's more interesting and stimulating.    However, I considered him suitable for the DSE as he used to have a good memory and more willing to follow instructions.

As I haven't expected he'll like to join the IB stream, I haven't taken any action yet as I's also not ready.    If his little brother got settle down in these few months, I might further review with him this year and hopefully it's not too late as he's in F.2.   Will say the prayer for our Lord to lead the way!

Will you put him in a price or public school in the US?  If private, how is he going to catch up?

I'm not sure about private or public in the states yet. We are citizens, can go with public....just need to settle at a good school district.
Do u mean if I consider LS then he is less likely to be able to catch up at private in the states? Can you elaborate?

Public is not a big deal, you can pick district.  Private is another matter, you also have to worry about getting in.  Will the Eng be good enough to get in?

Oh I see where you coming from. Honestly at this point we haven't decided yet which route (private vs public)in the States. But for sure we will move into a good school district should we go with public.
Sending him back to the States not solely for the "English" environment. We love the space and the culture there. I think he will benefit from more fun activity options and fresh air etc. Something quite important for kid besides top-notch education.
So private or not...it's not my main concern at this point.

選得IS應該都清楚個分別，唔會後悔吧，而IS同名小學其實成個path同學習模式分別極大，決定時要諗得好清楚
