Eligible school sponsoring bodies are invited to apply to run international schools at two premises in Kwai Tsing District.

The Education & Manpower Bureau said the allocation of vacant school premises can address the growing demand for international school places in a timely and cost-effective manner.

The two premises, to be vacated in September, are in Cheung Ching Estate. For details click here. They have been regularly maintained and are fit for school operation. The selected sponsoring bodies may, subject to the bureau's approval, carry out appropriate renovation works using their own funds.

Upon allocation and acceptance of the detailed terms and conditions by the bodies, the premises will be leased on a time-limited and renewable tenancy, initially for 10 years, at nominal rent.
