I’m surprised Yew Chung has such a high % of local students. I thought it was a favourite for mainland Chinese (given bilingual and good brand name in China). And prc passport is considered foreign

耀中(中學部)其實係private independent school ，按政府要求係要收不少於70%本地生。所以有香港永久居民身份證嘅大陸人/外國國籍嘅香港人，學校應該會報佢哋嘅local身份…

So the complaints are targeting the primary school then because secondary school doesn’t have the same requirement? But if you expect people to continue from primary to secondary -> how does one change from >70% non local to >70% local from year 6 to year 7! Of course, unless all the students have dual nationality
Even if the complaints are targeting primary only, I’m still surprised it has so many locals!

EDB isn't concerned about Yew Chung primary school's non-local student % as it isn't among the 16 international schools under a service agreement... YC was merely highlighted in the news (along with Kingston, Think, etc) because the reporters didn't know what they were talking about.

According to SCMP’s article, schools that fail to comply with the non-local student percentage requirements may face such penalties:

“The Education Bureau will take follow-up actions, including exercising the right to terminate or refuse to renew the service agreement and taking back the school premises and sites allocated.

Honestly I don't think they will go that far, the situation now is that there were a lot of dropouts by non-local during Covid, rather than ESF refusing to take in non-locals. When so many left, ESF still need to enroll students to pay the bills. If and when the non-locals come back, I am sure ESF will try to take in a bigger portion of non-local to bring it back up to 70%.

"教育局稱，在疫情期間國際學校業界、相關領事和商會均曾向政府表示，因面對經營困難而希望增加彈性錄取非本地生。教育局表示，隨著香港全面恢復正常並積極引入更多外來投資及人才，預計國際學校將逐漸增加錄取非本地學生的比例"

yeah, maybe more people are coming back...SIS just made a headline that they have paid BSD to buy additional apartments for the teachers:

https://ps.hket.com/article/3508082
香港全面對外通關後，外資機構高管可順利駐港，帶動住屋需求，有外資名校短短數月以3,413萬元，於南區連購3個單位作員工宿舍，估計涉及辣招稅近1,024萬元。市場消息指，一家新加坡國際學校，繼日前斥資1,780萬元購入鴨脷洲南灣3房後，連隨購入同區深灣軒及海怡半島共3個單位。例如深灣軒1座低層E室，實用面積480平方呎，2房，成交價845萬元，呎價17,604元，以及海怡半島28座低層D室，實用面積535平方呎，成交價788萬元，平均呎價14,729元，當中海怡半島的2房細單位，目前市場甚為渴盤，悉數叫價已高於800萬元以上。


而區內代理透露，該新加坡國際學校早於2010年開始在南區購買單位，至今共持有13個住宅單位，購入價介乎340萬至1,780萬元，購入價共達7,386萬元，估計市值逾2億元，全部用作員工宿舍，當中有6個位於海怡半島。


I guess that also tells with more people coming back, competition will start to heat up a bit indeed...

5 school sites allocated

May 29, 2015

Secretary for Education Eddie Ng has announced that five operators have been selected to develop international schools at two vacant school premises and three greenfield sites.
 
The two vacant premises in Aberdeen and Tai Po were awarded to the Harbour School Foundation and ESOL Education HK. The schools will open in the 2016-17 school year.
 
The French International School "Victor Segalen" Association and Shrewsbury International School Hong Kong were both allocated a site in Tseung Kwan O, and Malvern College Hong Kong was given the Science Park site. The schools will open in 2018-19.
 
The new schools will create 3,490 primary places and 780 secondary places.
 
The five applicants will allocate 80% or more school places to non-local students.
 
"The Government supports the development of a vibrant international school sector in Hong Kong, mainly to meet the demand for school places from overseas families living in Hong Kong and families coming to Hong Kong for work or investment," Mr Ng said.

But to be honest, it is very difficult to define "local" students.... I know a few people, whose kids were born in HK but parents are holding foreign passport...they use their HKID to apply for PIS, while using their foreign passport when applying International School...The way the EDB defines local is not exactly clear to me

The definition is clear in the EDB document. Local students are those who have HKID but does not hold any foreign passport. If they hold foreign passports, they are considered “non-locals” by EDB. But in applying schools it is not mandatory to report all nationalities a student has. So they can identify themselves as “locals” when applying for PIS.

Exactly, there is nothing that prevents them from identifying themselves as local when applying the PIS. This is not quite fair, is it? Basically they can have an edge for both types of non-local school vs. "pure expat" and "pure local"

EDB doesn't use the terms local/non-local for PIS. On the EDB PIS website:

"PISs are required to ensure that at least 70% of the student population are Hong Kong Permanent Residents."


As long as the children are born in Hong Kong (have the right of abode) or the parents are HK PR, they can be of any nationality.

I am sure the schools (PIS/IS) adhere to the requirements by EDB... am just saying, for those parents holding foreign passports while kids were born here, they have an edge to both PIS (such as VSA and ISF) and IS vs. those with only SAR or foreign passports. I think there is a question of fairness here but the EDB does not seem to address this.
