School slot shortage

LONGHUA District is facing a shortage of 10,000 slots for school children entering primary school next September.

The district is building new schools and some students will be diverted to schools far from their homes, according to a notice issued by the district’s education bureau.

The district’s public schools have tried to accommodate more students in 2018, but there are still 8,000 children who couldn’t be enrolled due to failing to provide sufficient documents. In 2018, the district built eight new schools and offered 17,400 new school slots.

In 2019, public and private schools won’t be able to accommodate all school-aged children, even at full capacity.
