MRS SELINA CHOW (in Cantonese): President, the middle class, as the mainstay of Hong Kong society, are very concerned about the education of their children. Parents who will make various sacrifices in order to facilitate their children in their education or ensure the admission of their children by a quality school can be found everywhere. Many parents do not mind working very hard or shouldering a heavier burden if only their children can receive quality education. However, I can say that the supply of places in local quality schools is not enough, particularly the demand for places in Direct Subsidy Scheme (DSS) schools and international schools cannot be fully met. At present, there are 18 DSS primary schools with 9 000 pupils accounting for only 2% of the total number of primary school pupils while there are 55 DSS secondary schools with 42 000 students accounting for only 9% of the total number of secondary school students. Demand for places in these schools has been earnest because of their repute. Worst still, subsequent to the announcement by the Education Bureau earlier that the standard intake places in Primary One in the next school year will be reduced by two in each class, some parents are worried about the chances of their children being admitted to prestigious government or subsidized schools, thus indirectly pushing up the demand for DSS school places. Take the just concluded discretionary admission stage of Primary One for the next school year as an example, while the general government and subsidized schools have received applications exceeding their places by just 200 to 300, there are long queues outside DSS schools. Some prestigious DSS primary schools such as the primary divisions of the Diocesan Schools, the primary school of St Paul's Co-education College and the Ying Wa Primary School which LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 26 October 2007 925 will be converted into a DSS school next year are extremely popular. They have invariably received 1 700 to 2 000 applications, meaning that 12 or 13 applicants are competing for one place on average. The PLK Camoes Tan Siu Lin Primary School has even made a record for 2 250 applications have been received, meaning that 15 applicants are competing for one place on average. In other words, the number of applicants is higher than that of La Salle Primary School, a non-DSS traditional prestigious school, by 2.8 times. Pui Kiu College in Tai Wai, which has just been converted into a DSS school, has also received 1 200-odd applications, which is 10 times of its student intake. Thus, it can be seen that parents' demand for places in DSS schools is unprecedentedly high and the competition is as fierce as a battle. Regarding the international schools, there are 48 such primary schools offering 18 000 places, accounting for 5% of the total number of primary school places. But there are only 25 such secondary schools offering 14 000 places, accounting for less than 3% of the total number of secondary school places. Hence, it can be seen that the number of places offered by DSS schools or international schools is rather low in relation to the total number of places. In particular, the number of places offered by international secondary schools is short of the progression demand of international primary schools by 4 000, meaning that there are at least 4 000 graduates from international primary schools who are unable to further their studies in local international secondary schools. For the remaining students, they even have to compete for places with those who swarm into the international schools only at the secondary school stage. From this, it can be seen that the places offered by international schools in Hong Kong fall far short of the demand. Soon after the publication of the policy address, the English Schools Foundation published the student intake situation of its 10 primary schools. In the next school year, a total of 1 020 Primary One places will be offered which is outnumbered by the applicants by 1 300, resulting in 3 280 applicants being put on the waiting list. It is learnt that some parents, keen on sending their children to the international schools in time, are eager to purchase the debentures of some popular international schools so as to increase the chances of their children being admitted to these schools. The nominal value of the debentures issued by some international schools has doubled in two years.

  • Historic Building Appraisal 1 Tsang Tai Uk Sha Tin, N.T
    Historic Building Appraisal 1 Tsang Tai Uk Sha Tin, N.T. Tsang Tai Uk (曾大屋, literally the Big Mansion of the Tsang Family) is also Historical called Shan Ha Wai (山廈圍, literally, Walled Village at the Foothill). Its Interest construction was started in 1847 and completed in 1867. Measuring 45 metres by 137 metres, it was built by Tsang Koon-man (曾貫萬, 1808-1894), nicknamed Tsang Sam-li (曾三利), who was a Hakka (客家) originated from Wuhua (五華) of Guangdong (廣東) province which was famous for producing masons. He came to Hong Kong from Wuhua working as a quarryman at the age of 16 in Cha Kwo Ling (茶果嶺) and Shaukiwan (筲箕灣). He set up his quarry business in Shaukiwan having his shop called Sam Lee Quarry (三利石行). Due to the large demand for building stone when Hong Kong was developed as a city since it became a ceded territory of Britain in 1841, he made huge profit. He bought land in Sha Tin from the Tsangs and built the village. The completed village accommodated around 100 residential units for his family and descendents. It was a shelter of some 500 refugees during the Second World War and the name of Tsang Tai Uk has since been adopted. The sizable and huge fortified village is a typical Hakka three-hall-four-row Architectural (三堂四横) walled village. It is in a Qing (清) vernacular design having a Merit symmetrical layout with the main entrance, entrance hall, middle hall and main hall at the central axis.
