啟新書院推出全新提名權計劃

tingtingting

Although I don't endorse the new policy I do have some sympathy for the school. These days schools can't get good teachers from overseas unless they are ready to pay as much as $40k (including rental allowance) for each teacher month after month.  What can the schools do if their teachers need to spend more than half of the salaries on rents?

Please note that the current parents are facing the increasing school fees already.
The raise in the teacher's salaries are covered by the incerase of the school fees.

Moreover, the campus has been let out for running ESL language and sports classes.
Some private swimming clubs also rent the school pool for training classes.

ESL has already asked the 2012 new parents to pay $23,500 for the building levy which will rise up to $50,000 in 2013.
ESL has already been doing everything she can to get money from parents.
I just wonder why ESL keeps shouting 'lack of money'.

Perhaps, ESL should let the parents have a clear view of the books before proposing any other money sucking schemes.

My another view of the scheme is that, $400,000 is a large amount of money. With his huge sum of money, prospective parents actually have far more better choices than RC, e.g. CIS. Hope that this group of super rich families won't pick RC and ordinary families can still enjoy a fair game of admission.

ESF schools are not selective in admissions.  How about RC and DC?  Are they selective or non-selective?

I just checked DC's website and found DC's nomination rights- also HK$400,000, with same terms (or at least similar, as I didn't scrutinize and compare each term).

Anyone knows when DC started its nomination rights? If it's not a new thing for 2013-14 year, then it seems RC is simply following suit. Sigh!

上年DC已開始提名權！但上年在EK的回應好似無咁激烈？？

宜家就有提名權，又有建校費，遲d會唔會又有其他不同項目要父母俾錢？

Seems like pure demand and supply. As a private institution, I don't see why RC shouldn't be allowed to do it.

Kids come and go every year, but they are the minority.  Year 1 kids remain the "core".  Admitting more than 1/3 of the Year 1 students on the basis of their ability and willingness to pay $400,000 is a bit like 自毀長城 to me.

最重要的一點 並不是她們收多少提名費, 建校費或種種型式學費以外的收費, 而是她們拿到這筆錢, 她們會把多少錢投放回本校教育裡, 還是拿這筆錢作別的用途.

I guess any school doing it would be the same, wouldn't it?

The fee is huge compare with other IS, since it's NOT debenture and it's non-refundable! knowing RC/DC have to repay the loan to ESF, hope the scheme wouldn't be so taught after all loan been settled few years later.

I doubt if people will choose to pay this for a priority...I believe many people will choose to apply other IS then.

40萬畢業會唔會比返你？

We should launch a complaint system back up by mass media and all IS parents.

其實係架！對於沒比40萬，沒有弟兄係到讀，不是Cat 1,不是英基幼稚園既小朋友係會有好大影響！
