LCQ18: Mechanism for vetting the eligibility of applicants for admission adopted by higher education institutions
Question:
It has been reported that a university has recently found that some students have provided fraudulent documentary proof of academic qualifications when applying for admission. There are views that the incident has brought potential impact on Hong Kong’s reputation as an international hub for post-secondary education. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council if it knows:
(1) the specific measures taken by various higher education institutions to ensure the authenticity and validity of documentary proof of academic qualifications submitted by applicants for admission; and
(2) whether various higher education institutions will enhance their mechanisms for vetting the eligibility of applicants for admission to prevent the recurrence of similar incidents, thereby ensuring the quality of their students; if so, of the specific details?
Reply:
President,
Falsifying or furnishing fraudulent academic qualifications is a serious offence liable to a maximum penalty of 14 years’ imprisonment. As fraudulent academic qualifications seriously affect student admission by local higher education institutions and Hong Kong’s hard-earned international reputation, the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and all sectors of the Hong Kong community deeply resent such act and have zero tolerance towards the matter.
Earlier on, a certain university found a very small number of cases where applicants allegedly submitted fraudulent documents when applying for admission. The university reported the incident to the Police and dealt with the incident seriously, indicating its determination of zero tolerance.
Hong Kong’s higher education has unique advantages, including high teaching quality, strong basic research capabilities, extensive international connections, and close co-operation with the Mainland, representing a strong foundation. We particularly treasure the golden reputation of Hong Kong’s higher education. Facing intense competition for admissions, universities have always established stringent admission procedures and mechanisms to ensure fairness and impartiality in selecting the best candidates. As the cradle of future talent, our higher education institutions must be well prepared for Hong Kong to develop itself into an international hub for post-secondary education, be it academic standards or the establishment of systems.
In response to the question raised by the Hon Tang Fei, our key replies are as follows:
(1) All of the eight University Grants Committee (UGC)-funded universities have formed academic boards/senates to take charge of academic matters while academic units and/or graduate schools are responsible for the administration and gatekeeping of student admission. There are rigorous admission standards and procedures as well as clear guidelines in place for stringent vetting of the academic qualifications, public examination results and relevant documents of students admitted. Generally speaking, verification is made through various channels, such as requesting the admitted students to arrange for direct dispatch of relevant proof of study (e.g. transcripts) by the respective awarding institutions to the universities concerned, checking with credible platforms (e.g. the China Higher Education Student Information website), verifying the results with the relevant examination boards directly, or requesting the applicants to arrange for direct dispatch of their results by the relevant examination boards to the universities concerned. Students may also be required to produce originals or certified copies of the certificates or transcripts for further checking when registering with the universities in Hong Kong as and when necessary. Those who are unable to furnish the required documents in the above process may have their admission offers rescinded or registration rejected.
(2) The admission mechanisms of the eight UGC-funded universities uphold the principles of merit-based selection, fairness and impartiality. All universities will continue to provide training, including collaborating with the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) in this regard, inviting the ICAC to take part in reviewing or providing advice on the admission procedures, and formulating internal guidelines on corruption prevention, etc, with a view to raising anti-corruption awareness among relevant staff and ensuring the integrity of the system and fairness of the admission mechanisms. At the same time, the universities will diligently undertake their gatekeeping responsibilities and clearly demonstrate their zero tolerance stance towards using fraudulent academic qualifications to apply for admission. They will take decisive disciplinary actions upon discovery of such violations, including rescission of admission offers or expulsion, and will refer such cases to the relevant law enforcement agencies and visa-issuing authorities for follow-up action as appropriate. In addition, the universities have been paying closer attention to the recent untrue information, abetting and other illegal activities. They actively make clarifications on their websites, social media and in application forms, and remind applicants that all application materials must be accurate. Unlawful conduct will not be tolerated. In the light of the ever-changing circumstances, the universities will continually improve the arrangements to maintain their academic reputation.

The Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi addressed the Rozgar Mela and distributed more than 51,000 appointment letters to newly appointed youth in various Government departments and organizations via videoconferencing today. Addressing the gathering, he emphasized that today marks the beginning of new responsibilities for these youth in different departments of the Government of India. He remarked that their duties include strengthening the nation’s economic framework, bolstering internal security, contributing to the construction of modern infrastructure, and bringing transformative changes to the lives of workers. The Prime Minister underscored that the sincerity with which they fulfill their responsibilities will have a positive impact on India’s journey towards becoming a developed nation. Expressing confidence, he stated that these young individuals will carry out their duties with utmost dedication.
“The foundation of any nation’s progress and success lies in its youth, when the youth actively participate in nation-building, the nation experiences rapid development and establishes its identity on the global stage”, emphasised Shri Modi. “India’s youth are showcasing their immense potential to the world through their hard work and innovation”, he further highlighted, stating that the government is ensuring, at every step, that employment and self-employment opportunities for the country’s youth continue to grow. He pointed out that initiatives like Skill India, Startup India, and Digital India are creating new opportunities for the youth. Through these campaigns, the government is providing an open platform for India’s youth to showcase their talents. Shri Modi noted that as a result of these efforts, in this decade, India’s youth have propelled the nation to the forefront in the fields of technology, data, and innovation. He highlighted the success of digital platforms like UPI, ONDC, and GeM (Government e-Marketplace), which demonstrate how the youth are leading transformative changes in the digital economy. He further remarked that India now leads the world in real-time digital transactions, and a significant share of this achievement is credited to the youth.
“The Manufacturing Mission announced in this budget, aims at promoting the ‘Make in India’ initiative and providing India’s youth with opportunities to create globally standardized products. This initiative will not only support millions of MSMEs and small entrepreneurs across the country but will also open up new employment opportunities nationwide”, remarked the Prime Minister, adding that this is an unprecedented time of opportunities for India’s youth. He noted that the IMF recently stated that India will remain the world’s fastest-growing economy. He emphasized that this growth has multiple facets, with the most significant being the increase in job opportunities across all sectors in the coming days. The Prime Minister pointed out that in recent times, the automobile and footwear industries have achieved new records in production and exports, creating substantial employment opportunities for the youth. He also highlighted that, for the first time, products from Khadi and Village Industries have surpassed a turnover of ₹1.70 lakh crore, generating millions of new jobs, especially in rural areas. He remarked on the recent achievement in Inland Water Transport, noting that before 2014, only 18 million tons of cargo were moved annually through Inland Water Transport. This year, cargo movement has exceeded 145 million tons. He attributed this success to India’s consistent policy-making and decision-making in this direction. The Prime Minister highlighted that the number of National Waterways in the country has increased from just 5 to over 110 and the operational length of these waterways has grown from approximately 2,700 kilometers to nearly 5,000 kilometers. He stressed that these achievements are creating new opportunities for the youth across the nation.

This summit offers an unprecedented opportunity for innovators in media, gaming, and entertainment to showcase their talent”, said Shri Modi. He noted that entertainment startups will have the chance to connect with investors and industry leaders, making it the largest platform to present their ideas to the world. He emphasized that youth will gain exposure to AI, XR, and immersive media through various workshops organized during the event. “WAVES will energize India’s digital content future”, he added. He lauded the inclusivity of India’s youth, highlighting that every section of society is contributing to the nation’s achievements. He remarked that daughters of India are leading the way, citing the recent UPSC results where the top two positions were secured by women, and three out of the top five toppers were women. “Women are reaching new heights in fields ranging from bureaucracy to space and science. Our government is focused on empowering rural women through initiatives like Self-Help Groups, Bima Sakhis, Bank Sakhis, and Krishi Sakhis, which have created new opportunities”, said Shri Modi. He further noted that thousands of women are now working as Drone Didis, ensuring prosperity for their families and villages, adding that over 90 lakh Self-Help Groups are active in the country, involving more than 10 crore women. To strengthen these groups, the government has increased their budget fivefold and introduced a provision for collateral-free loans of up to ₹20 lakh. Shri Modi highlighted that women are the largest beneficiaries of the Mudra Yojana and noted that over 50,000 startups in the country have women as directors. He remarked that such transformative changes across sectors are strengthening India’s resolve for development and creating more opportunities for employment and self-employment.
Addressing the youth who received their employment letters today, the Prime Minister underlined that the positions achieved by individuals are a result of their hard work and dedication. He stressed that it is now time to dedicate the next phases of their lives not only to themselves but also to the nation. He highlighted that the spirit of public service must remain paramount. The Prime Minister stated that when one works with the highest regard for their service, their efforts gain the strength to guide the nation in a new direction. He underscored that the fulfillment of duties, innovation, and commitment of individuals will directly contribute to improving the lives of every citizen in India.
Remarking that when individuals reach positions of responsibility, their duties and roles as citizens become even more significant, Shri Modi emphasized the need for awareness in this direction. He highlighted the ongoing campaign, ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam,’ and encouraged everyone to plant a tree in their mother’s name as a gesture of gratitude and service to nature. He urged individuals to involve more people in this campaign at their workplaces. Noting that the International Yoga Day, coming up in June, is a great opportunity to begin a healthy life alongside a successful career, he emphasized that health is not only essential for individuals but also crucial for work efficiency and the nation’s productivity. The Prime Minister encouraged individuals to utilize the Mission Karmayogi initiative to enhance their capabilities. He stated that the purpose of their roles is not merely to hold positions but to serve every citizen of India and contribute to the nation’s progress. Recalling the mantra of ‘Nagrik Devo Bhava,’ shared on Civil Services Day, and emphasizing that serving citizens is akin to divine worship, Shri Modi concluded by expressing confidence that with sincerity and dedication, India will become a developed and prosperous nation. He urged the youth to work for achieving the dreams and aspirations of 140 crore Indians.

LCQ12: Developing a hub for primary and secondary education
Question:
It has been reported that, with the worsening situation of low birth rate in Hong Kong, primary and secondary schools are facing “class reduction and school closure” one after another. On the other hand, the Chief Executive has proposed in the 2023 Policy Address to build Hong Kong into an international hub for post-secondary education. There are views that Hong Kong’s primary and secondary basic education also have significant advantages in developing international education (including teachers having all undergone high-quality and systematic training, and the curriculum being taught in both languages of Chinese and English, etc.), and the Government should make good use of such advantages and introduce policies to alleviate the impact of low birth rate, replenish the sources of students and nurture talents for the long-term development of Hong Kong. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council:
(1) of the respective numbers of Mainland and overseas students currently enrolled in international schools at primary and secondary levels;
(2) whether it will consider constructing new school premises or converting the premises of some primary and secondary schools which have been closed or are likely to be closed, as well as providing additional supporting facilities (e.g. hostels), so as to operate primary and secondary schools dedicated to absorb Mainland and overseas students;
(3) whether it has plans to promote and admit students to local primary and secondary schools (including international schools and schools dedicated to offering Mainland curriculum) in the Mainland, neighbouring Chinese-populated regions and overseas, so as to increase the sources of students for various types of schools in Hong Kong; and
(4) whether it has plans to, while building Hong Kong into an international hub for post-secondary education, build Hong Kong into an international hub for primary and secondary education; if so, of the details; if not, whether it will consider the plans concerned?
Reply:
President,
The Chief Executive’s 2023 Policy Address outlined the direction to develop Hong Kong into an international post-secondary education hub and a cradle of future talents. This policy is based on the fact that Hong Kong has world-renowned universities and outstanding research talents, thus focusing only on post-secondary education. Regarding primary and secondary education, parents are provided with diverse and quality choices under the education system of Hong Kong.
The Government provides 12 years’ free primary and secondary education to eligible children through public sector schools. Non-local students who come to live in Hong Kong with their parents (including those who come to Hong Kong under various talent admission schemes) may also choose to enrol in any local public sector schools, Direct Subsidy Scheme schools or private schools (including international schools) that suit them, provided they meet the relevant eligibility requirements. We are glad to see that Hong Kong’s diverse and quality education is also one of the factors attracting talents to Hong Kong.
Faced with a structural decline in school-age population, the Government accords top priority to the interests of students when planning for the future development of education. Aiming for a “soft landing”, we review the policies and effectiveness of utilisation of public resources, and adjust the number of schools in a gradual and orderly manner to ensure a healthy and sustainable education ecosystem and optimal use of public resources. As to non-public sector schools, they may also admit overseas students in accordance with prevailing policies, should they provide adequate supporting arrangements.
Our reply to the questions raised by Professor the Hon William Wong is as follows:
(1) The numbers of non-local students in international schools in the 2023/24 school year are tabulated as follows:
| Level(i) Figures refer to the position as at mid-September 2023. (ii) Figures include students in international schools, but not those in special schools. (iii) Local students refer to those who are Hong Kong permanent residents and do not have any valid passport other than the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Passport. Students not covered by this definition are all regarded as non-local students. (iv) Mainland students refer to those with Chinese nationality (including those from Mainland China, Macao and Taiwan). (2) The Education Bureau (EDB) has all along upheld the principle of optimising the use of public resources, and handles vacant school premises (VSP) in accordance with Central Clearing House mechanism. The EDB conducts reviews on whether the vacant or to-be-vacant school premises are suitable to be retained for school use (primary and secondary school), having regard to factors such as the size, location and physical conditions of the premises, as well as the educational needs and relevant policy measures. Upon confirming that such premises are not required to be retained for school use, the EDB should, in accordance with the said mechanism, release the relevant sites for the Planning Department (PlanD)’s consideration of suitable long-term alternative uses. Since the establishment of the prevailing mechanism in 2011, the EDB already released over 250 vacant or to-be-vacant school premises sites. For details, please refer to the list of VSP sites updated by PlanD regularly on their webpage ( www.pland.gov.hk/pland_en/resources/vsp/vsp_list.html NNNN LCQ16: Monitoring of operation of international schoolsSource: Hong Kong Government special administrative region LCQ16: Monitoring of operation of international schools NNNN LCQ19: Parent educationSource: Hong Kong Government special administrative region LCQ19: Parent education NNNN “Smart Parent Net” Recommendation: (Video)Parent-child Physical Games – Cross the RiverSource: Hong Kong Government special administrative region To maintain a healthy physique, you need to exercise regularly!
