Question:
(3) In face of the structural decline in school-age population, the EDB has been encouraging school sponsoring bodies and KGs to plan ahead of time by considering plans for consolidating and optimising school resources. Besides, the EDB has been liaising with the sector and providing support to alleviate the impact from decline in school-age population, among others, including provision of more KG premises owned by the Government for allocation to eligible applicant bodies on a competitive basis for alleviating rental burden.
