Number of Form Six graduates in Hong Kong heading outside city for studies drops 25% to record low

The number of Form Six graduates in Hong Kong pursuing further studies outside the city has declined by 25 per cent year on year, falling to its lowest point since an official survey began 12 years ago, according to a government report.

A student guidance group and a secondary school council head attributed the low number to pupils possibly making the decision to head to other places earlier in their studies and the abundant choices offered by local postsecondary institutions.
