According to statistics from the Hong Kong Immigration Department, more than 90% of applicants for Hong Kong identity are mainland residents.
Why do mainland families have to "roll" their Hong Kong identities?
Children's education is a common source of anxiety for most mainland families, and it is also an important reason for them to plan their Hong Kong identity.
The current state of education in China is "forcing" them to become the main force of immigration to Hong Kong.
Having a Hong Kong identity is equivalent to letting your child step into the gate of a prestigious school, and you can also get a variety of ways to enter a higher education!
01
Advantages of Hong Kong Education
Enjoy 15 years of free public education
Hong Kong implements 15 years of free compulsory education (from kindergarten to high school). Children of Hong Kong permanent residents or non-permanent residents can enjoy first-class education and receive a "biliterate and trilingual" environment since childhood.
Starting from 2020/21, the Hong Kong government will provide a fixed subsidy of about HK$2,500 to primary and secondary school students in Hong Kong every school year, and there will be no family asset review.
Enjoy high-quality international educational resources
Hong Kong has rich international education resources. Parents have Hong Kong identity, and their children can also apply to international schools in Hong Kong, such as Chinese, Yew Chung, Harrow, St. Paul, etc.
