Nederlands(NL) Hong Kong international, private school enrolment grows amid drop in student numbers

Hong Kong international schools see enrollment surge driven by talent scheme

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Enrollment in Hong Kong's international and private schools has seen a third consecutive year of growth, driven by the 2022 introduction of the Top Talent Pass Scheme. This influx of families, particularly from mainland China, has offset a broader decline in the city's overall student population. While kindergartens and local public schools face closures, international and private institutions have experienced a 12% increase in students since September 2022, reflecting both the success of talent attraction policies and continued demand from affluent local families seeking alternatives to the local curriculum.
