Hong Kong to boost non-local student quota at universities to a maximum of 50%


Hong Kong’s leader will further increase the non-local undergraduate quota at public universities to a maximum of 50 per cent in next Wednesday’s policy address, while the number of places for local students will remain unchanged, the Post has learned.

A source close to the matter said Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu would announce an increase in the non-local student quota to no more than 50 per cent, emphasising that locals would not be affected as their annual 15,000 places would remain the same.
