宏信是否一間直資國際學校呢

KATRINE

我今日睇圾紙有以下報導 :

直資計劃初推出時容許國際學校加入計劃，但當時的教育署後來認為國際學校與直資推行理念不同， 95年起安排已加入計劃的國際學校逐步退出，惟李寶椿聯合世界書院一直未有退出，多年來一直獲政府津貼。校方理據包括學校有四成本地生、有開辦國際預科文憑課程等，但審計署認為這未能解釋為何它毋須退出直資計劃。

我想知宏信係一間直資國際學校, 咁照報導所講,係咪應該唔係直資呢 ? 我唔明,有無人可以解答 ?

很久以前已開始關注此校, 所以留意到政府向立法會提交的文件(可到立法會的網頁瀏覽)。請看看以下節錄能否解答你的問題。

ITEM FOR PUBLIC WORKS SUBCOMMITTEE
OF FINANCE COMMITTEE
HEAD 703 – BUILDINGS
Education – Others
104ET – A direct subsidy scheme school (secondary-cum-primary) in Area 13, Yuen Long

“5. The proposed school will be a co-educational secondary-cumprimary school and use both English and Chinese as the medium of instruction.  ...... In addition to the local curriculum to be primarily offered*, the school will also offer International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes of Primary Years Programme, Middle Years Programme and Diploma Programme that are expanding rapidly around the world. ........”

* Under the existing policy, DSS schools are required to offer principally a curriculum targeted at local students and prepare them for local examinations. DSS schools can offer IB programmes as an additional curriculum choice for some of its students on condition that they would principally offer a local curriculum preparing students for local examinations.
