Hong Kong’s semi-private schools have been given the green light to increase tuition fees by about 4.8 per cent on average, the most in five years.
Fees on average will increase by 5.36 per cent at private schools and 4.53 per cent at international ones.
The Education Bureau on Wednesday said it had received applications to adjust tuition fees for the 2024-25 academic year from 191 private and international schools as well as from semi-private ones under the government’s direct subsidy scheme (DSS) as of the end of August.
The applications came from 53 DSS institutions, 73 private schools and 65 international ones. Only one application from an international school was rejected, the bureau said.
Tuition fees of DSS schools would rise by 4.76 per cent on average for the new academic year, it said.
