Twenty-three Secondary Six places have been left for central allocation, the Education & Manpower Bureau says, adding 15 places are of the science stream and eight of the commerce stream.

The school places will be allocated on the basis of the applicants' Certificate of Education Examination results, their choices and the subject requirements of the schools chosen. For details click here.

All HKCEE participants who have got results satisfying the minimum A-level entry requirements but have not obtained an S6 place can bring identification and their results notices to apply for central allocation.

They can approach one of the following Central Allocation Application Centres between 9am and 3.30pm tomorrow:

* Queen's College;

* Kowloon Technical School;

* Sha Tin Government Secondary School;

* NTHYK Yuen Long District Secondary School; or,

* Tsuen Wan Government Secondary School.

Application results will be uploaded on the bureau's website after 6pm on August 17 and will be posted in all Regional Education Offices at 9am the following day.

Other opportunities

Students who are still unable to secure an S6 place after the completion of Stage V may be able to get a place at the beginning of the new school year because some successful students may decide not to take up their places.

Vacancy information will be available on the bureau's website and at all Regional Education Offices throughout September. Applications should be made to these schools direct.
