$$$$ ESF Nomination Rights Scheme $$$$

如果一心唸住讀十幾年,計落都比其他IS平.

相信對今年度的申請者影響不是太大，如報ESF, 1/9/12 就報，不會想太多，優先與否，如想優先，一早就RC or DC,其次有錢個班家長，ESF不是他杯茶！

In the past few years, all international schools placements became more and more sought after

我就反而覺得本來有機會入ESF, 例如Cat 1 同Siblings,就有點頭痕.突然多了150 NRs.

Cat 1 and Siblings Never Pay NR
Cat 2 and .........

This scheme is to replace the Corporate scheme, so it is used for reserving spaces by the overseas parents who are coming to work in HK...so it is not for Cat 2 but more for Cat 1.

But I heard that even siblings are not a sure thing for a place in ESF now.

即係，除了 rc/dc，全部 esf 都有這個新安排，似乎 esf  真係經濟上有點問題

I saw from other source that rc also has its own nomination scheme.

If the new scheme affects Cat 1, in turns it will affect Cat 2 who wait behind Cat 1. ie. placements will be filled up by the higher priorities first, then Cat 2 has even slimmer chance.

我想說，是除了 rc/ dc 有這安排，現在 esf  也有

ic.  I believe subsidy from government is far from enough for ESF to cover the cost of the ongoing  maintenance of their campuses.

Agreed!Nothing to do with helping the overseas families, it's simply a market-driven approach.
Would love to see the statistic showing the number of overseas families subscribing the NR vs local families (again it would be difficult to tell as a lot of HK citizens holding foreign passports)
I personally have nothing against this gimmick / scheme as it is a free market.

A maximum of 150 nomination rights will be issued per year, it is open to all but during the 1st month priority will be given to overseas applicants or residents with foreign passport. All  NR applicants are processed in date received.
As the scheme is open to all, so its' obvious that the main purpose is to raise funding for capital projects.

其實，esf 經濟一向都很緊，不單 esf 家長知，外面的人都知，只是有些人覺得不想提。
但話說回頭，的確多 ...

同意。NR gains interview priority, they still have to pass the interviews to be admitted. 所以不影響收生質素。

Exactly!!!HKIS and CIS cost you 180K every year.

CIS changes their admission process this year. The application fee is now 2000 where you may not be granted for an interview. If you are granted, then another 2000 which is the assessment fee has to be paid. but still, that doesn;t mean you will be offered a place. Seems like more and more ppl s want to get in IS.'

總共有多少位？我朋友昨天問過仍有NR可認購。她正和老公炒緊，畢竟，40萬不是小數目，更何況RC不像ESF港島部分學校的知名度。
