Candidates who received 6 or more "A"s, attained level 4 or above in English Language and Chinese Language, or obtained "C" or above in French or Putonghua in the HKCEE, were eligible to take part in the scheme, which might grant them admission to the aforementioned institutions without requiring them to sit for the HKALE. Only 400-500 candidates were eligible to join the scheme annually throughout the implementation of the scheme. Most of them would be admitted to university after they graduated from Form 6. Others, who were studying Form 7 and going to take the H ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
