Kindergarten venue applications open

May 29, 2023

The Education Bureau today announced that six kindergarten premises are open for applications by eligible bodies under the First Kindergarten Premises Allocation Exercise 2023.

 

The venues, which will be available in 2024 and 2025, include six new estate kindergarten premises, each with six to 12 classrooms, located in Kwun Tong, Tuen Mun, Sai Kung and Islands districts.

 

Kindergartens, especially those facing high rental expenses, dilapidated school environments and facilities, and a surplus of kindergarten places in the district, are encouraged to apply for relocation.

 

The bureau explained that it will accord priority to applications from schools under the kindergarten education scheme. Applications for operating new kindergartens will only be considered if no suitable applicants are found for relocation.

 

Noting that quality of education is the prime consideration, the bureau said it will take into account the applicant bodies' operation plans, their track records in running kindergartens and relocation needs.

 

Applications must be submitted no later than 5pm on July 24. Details can be found online.
