The Education System in Hong Kong

Hong Kong’s education system is similar to that of the United Kingdom and has extremely high standards of quality. Primary education in Hong Kong covers a wide curriculum. Core subjects include Chinese, English, and Mathematics with broad emphasis on Music, Physical Education and Arts. Secondary education in Hong Kong is largely based on the English schooling system, with single-sex education being widespread. In Form 4, most students of grammar schools are required to choose between streams, namely "Science", "Arts" and "Commerce", depending on the school policy. The end of Form 5 leads to the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination (HKCEE). The exam is equivalent to the UK's GCSEs or O-levels exams.

Tertiary education plays a key role in the education system and there are 8 universities and several other tertiary institutions. There are 19 different Advanced Level and 20 different AS-level subjects available[10]. The cost of undergraduate, full-degree, full-time programmes tends to be relatively low due to heavy government subsidisation. Being an international city, Hong Kong's tertiary institutions attract many foreign exchange students.
