(5) Apply for the Registration Certificate for 2021/22 KG admission

 

The Free Quality Kindergarten (hereafter referred to as “KG”) Education Policy (hereafter referred to as “the policy”) has been implemented from 2017-2018 school year. Each child who can receive education in Hong Kong will only be issued one registration document and all Scheme-KGs can only admit children holding a valid registration document.

 

If parents wish to apply for admission to a K1 class in a Scheme-KG for their children, they are required to apply to the EDB for the Registration Certificate for KG Admission (hereafter referred to as “RC”) from September to November 2020. Details on application will be announced in or before September this year and uploaded to the EDB’s website. Upon receipt of the applications with all necessary information and documents provided, the EDB will generally take six to eight weeks to complete processing the applications and issue the RC by post to applicants who are eligible for subsidy under the Scheme. If a child cannot obtain an RC because he/she can receive education in Hong Kong but is not eligible for subsidy under the Scheme, the EDB will issue a Kindergarten Admission Pass (hereafter referred to as AP) to the child concerned for registration to a Scheme-KG, but the parents concerned are required to pay full school fees (i.e. before deduction of subsidy under the Scheme) as shown on the Fees Certificate of the KG admitting the child.
