A new investigation conducted by a Hong Kong-based teaching
investigation institution shows that 30 percent of Hong Kong students are
considering enrolling in mainland universities, Xinhuanet.com reported.
Eighty percent of the 3,000 secondary students in their last year of high
school surveyed expressed a desire to continue their studies with 30 percent
expressing an interest in enrolling in mainland universities. Only four percent
had no information about mainland universities, according to a survey report.
Hong Kong students pay lower tuition and living fees at
mainland universities, and the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong Special
Administrative Region (SAR) now recognize university degrees acquired from either area.
The Hong Kong SAR and population should establish programs to inform Hong
Kong students about mainland universities, the report said.
