Mr Wong Wai Hung on POA System

2019-07-08

Mr Wong Wai Hung contributed article to HKEJ. He expressed opinions on Primary One Admission (POA) System, which is divided into two stages - Discretionary Places Admission (DPA) stage and Central Allocation (CA) stage.

He said that the DPA is an unfair system that has been under fire for years. To address the unfairness and to effectively distribute educational resources, he advised that the government should reduce the proportion of student places allocated by DPA. He suggested that a general point scheme should be set up for parents to participate, while a certain proportion of student places could still be distributed by CA.
