啟新書院推出全新提名權計劃

當日政府比佢用超平地租，係希望本地學生有多個選擇。如今...真係有錢人先有得受優良教育！

我岩岩打過去問, 如果想8月中報後備生(如有位, 佢地會7月中網上公佈) 今年九月year 2, 咁駛唔駛比呢? 有無 ...

I think the fee will apply for the school year 2013-14.  You better check with the school.

2012年入學的要交$23500, 這建校費一年前已公告天下的；其他ESF都有這新項目。

Given that ESF accepts foreigners into their schools,  does this apply to Mainland Chinese??  Or only those Mainland Chinese with Hong Kong ID cards?   If they accept Mainland Chinese without HK ID cards,  this would be a repeat of the maternity wards in our hospitals.  How about 雙非? The parents are not Hong Kong permanent residents, but the kids are?  And, if I am not wrong, a large number of them are from wealthy families.
By and large, while I can understand RC needs to build a healthy financial foundation for the school, but this one goes down extremely poor with the Hong Kong people.  I think most of us can accept Harrows doing that, but ESF is different, it is the core, and in a wholesale scale, of providing an alternative education system to the Hong Kong mass for their children who do not want to, or cannot, survive in the local school system.   

By doing this, ESF is turning itself into running prestigious wealthy private schools.  And should the subvention to all the ESF schools (except RC and DC, they are private) one day being cancelled, This RC nomination rights would provide a precedence for all future newly turned ESF private schools to run their finances.  That means, only the very wealthy kids can go to have an Alternative Education.  We, as middle class, will join the rest to endure the Traditional Education.

This smells bad.  And I strongly think that for those who support the IS system, we should organize and write to our legislators to oppose this, and also to pressure the government to look at the ESF system to be supported even more, instead of letting it go completely private.   

I think it would be better for Hong Kong as a whole if our government could give more support to ESF (or other worthy non-profit organizations) to open more affordable IS (or better to call them "Alternative Schools") for more HK children.   We all will be happier, and our children will be healthier.

Let us write to our legislators.

Sibling: 年年唔同; Nomination Right: 60 ppl；ESF kindies有面試機會，但無guarantee有位。
Year one 合 ...

Regardless of whether your kid is in the ESF kindergarten or not, there are only 2 things that you could do to jump the queue:
1. 籌錢 $400,000 及 盡快排隊於9月1日入Form; or
2. try to be a full time teacher/staff of RC/ESF/DC.

For those who can't satisfy the above conditions, just pray that all those kids who have priority over yours will fail the assessment/interview.

I also feel bad because it's not "有能者居之" .  It's now "有$者居之" (ie. the Nomination Right applicants) or
"有關係者居之" (ie. the first three category applicants).

RC's $400,000 is sunk cost which is non-refundable whereas most IS debentures are refundable upon departure of school.  I think RC's condition is the toughest one ~

I was surprised when I saw this news on yahoo this morning. My son has been with RC for 2 years and he enjoyed the school very much. The school truely has very good teachers, and good course curriculum and great facilities. It is also an IS school which pays a lot of focus on Traditional Chinese, over the last two years I could see my child having a good balance of development in both English and Chinese. They have the weekly Show & Tell workshop which my son always get very excited about. It is sad that they now have this tough scheme, lucky that my child got in early else don't think he can make it he applies this year. RC is really a great school and I understand they now want to raise the bar... anyway $400000 is really too extravagant for the chance of an interview

Yes!

I talked to my boy this morning-you should work hard and behave well since you're lucky to study in RC.
