新聞透視 --- 學位有多荒

近年不少外國商會投訴本港國際學校學額不足，削弱競爭力，來港經商或工作的外籍人士，難以為子女尋找學位而卻步。政府近幾年亦做出回應，批出多幅土地及分配空置校舍，予國際學校辦學團體擴展或開新學校。過去五個學年，合共增加了3600個國際學校學額，學位多了但仍不足以應付需求，教育局早前委託顧問做的研究顯示，到2016/17學年，本港將欠缺四千多個國際學校小學學額。

目前，就讀於國際學校的，除了外來工作、經商的外國人和本地外籍人士子女外，亦有不少本地家庭的子女，過去十年，人數更有上升趨勢，到底是什麼原因？他們是否令國際學校學位更緊張？又應否嚴格限制國際學校招收本地學生的比例？對於辦學團體而言，是否有更大誘因招收本地學生？

此外，現時全港國際學校加起來，有四千多個餘額，即有約一成學位沒人就讀，但一邊廂，不少國際學校則大排長龍，出現錯配的原因是什麼？是否通過政府不斷批地，就能解決問題？要建多少國際學校才足以應付需求？鄰近國家的做法又如何，是否有值得參考之處？

What the English teacher Wendy said was very true, IS also have lots of work for students, especially IB,  only that teachers won't teach by distributing notes.  Students have to do research and write notes themselves.  So students in fact have to do more work, but they learn better in this way as they rely more on themselves and are trained to think and work independently with more self confidence.  But for lazy students, they can fail badly.

個女未讀IS時, 一直以為讀IS比較輕鬆, 其實IS都好多嘢做, 不過大多數係上課時做完, 比較少帶回家做, 家長返到屋企以為佢地好hea. 先前本人提過, 讀IS要有好成績都會好似LS學生死讀難讀, 不過就中學開始, 小學比較著重建立行為習慣為主.

另外, 重有過誤解係, 讀IS, 都會為如何讀好中文煩惱, 情況如 讀LS, 都要補英文一樣.

現時全港國際學校加起來，有四千多個餘額?

its pretty clear the point is local parents have lost faith in the local curriculum and system. i totally agree with the two sets of parents at the beginning of the program. its because IS focus on the "software" of the education and not the "hardware" = exam scores, how many words they can memorised, etc. these are "easy" ways to measure the kids and ignoring the strength and issue in your kids' journey of education.

until the HKGov education board can come out with a sensitive solution to this point, rather than keep changing the system, the issue of international school spot shortage will NEVER be resolved and HK will keep loosing its competitiveness.

節目中講韓國國際有D學位只留給韓國人，因韓國政府有資助

節目無講有幾多學位是只留給幾國國民，我估中學高年班會有多D extra學位, 可能少D人會在高中才插班，現在小學競爭最激烈，just my two cents

當然啦，現在回看我小時候的小學教育真的很輕鬆，一年班才學 a pan and a man, 只記得返屋企就玩，補習更不會在我哋D清貧家庭出現，自己死掂佢。當時決定為兩個女兒選擇逃離本地課程，因政府做得太多，看不清改革方向，咁就要俾百幾兩百萬讀小學和中學。唉，都唔敢想退休兩個字啦!

我估waiting list 主力集中在ESF 和有各氣的IS, 跟LS情況差不多。

those foreign streams are meant for foreingers in HK to receive their local curriculum. if HK competitiveness is low, expats refuse to come to HK, its natural those FOREIGN schools will have spaces. these spaces should be discounted from the space demand numbers of INTERNATIONAL schools becausr they are satisfying different population. with this situation, families from "english" speaking countries are the one facing the most difficulties.

問題是外國人來港，一定要搞定學位先。有心的本地家長，早點排隊，學好英文，等一兩年，也不是「很難」入國際學校。

If the HK education system is good, then I would think most of the local parents would have preferred the local schools instead of paying so much $$$ for the international school places.
