ESF foundation schools

It seems that many ESF kindergarten students have only waiting and even rejected cases. Why do ESF primary schools intake quite many outsiders rather than its ESF kindy this year? Does it mean that they don't trust their own kindergarten education?

係喎～我聽到都好驚，諗住讀佢地kindy有priority，其實個priorty係咪影響好少？依家仲讀唔讀好reject左出年再報會唔會blacklist?

Can u quote some examples ?

In summary , I only heard that QBS accepted some non esf kinder students without any priority but somehow didn't heard any esf kinder students are on waitlist inQBS

For SJS, kjs, BH , I have not heard of any students with no priority can get 1st run offer

For RC, yes, a lot of non esf got offer , while esf students got waiting.

And how about u moonlight ?

For those non ESF kinder kids got offer from RC, would they have bought the Nomination Rights? Or they simply have no priority whatsoever?

My child get waiting also. I know some children get even rejected because they cannot meet the English requirement and I think ESF kindy has the responsibility also.

Many people said ESF is non selective, on the other hand I think they are screening language and social abilities

I don't understand their practice. If their students need to go for interview for their own primary school, the teachers should help to prepare for it. But instead they just let the kids play around and have happy school, then accept others who is well trained by other schools?

Meeting English requirement is the minimum.

For non ESF kids, they don't even have the chance/luck to interview.

Oh, bad luck. But still not too bad to be on waitlist as there may still be a chance as many parents in EK advised.

For those kids who were rejected for inadequate english, do you think they really speak poorly?

Don't panic! For those on waiting ,  they will likely still get offer at the end before term starts!

What they are doing now is actually contadicting to their vision to provide a non pushy early education they are punishing those parents and kids who actually adopted this practice? So at the end of the day, we should still pick those pushy famous school? I m confused. Anyone?

The interview process is said to be play-based. They observe child on their language ability and social interactive skills. These skills/ability are not necessarily acquired through "pushy" way of education. And It does not mean that kids from famous kinder are definitely picked. As 貝珠 and some other parents revealed, kids from "coupon" kinder stand a chance,
