Tutorial centre Capture Star says it only serves as an agent for recruiting students at a private secondary school
A Shenzhen-based tutorial centre accused of offering the city’s university entrance examination curriculum in a private Hong Kong secondary school without registration has denied teaching the courses, saying it only acted as an agent to recruit students for the institution.
Capture Star also said in a statement on Friday that all promotional activities related to the private school were conducted in Shenzhen and not in Hong Kong.
On Thursday, the Education Bureau accused Capture Star of recruiting students for its Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (DSE) exam programmes at a private secondary school, Tsung Tsin Middle School in Cheung Sha Wan, without registration.
“Capture Star only acts as an agent for Tsung Tsin Middle School’s enrolment and does not hold classes at the school,” the centre said, adding that its “promotion of Tsung Tsin Middle School is conducted entirely in Shenzhen and no promotional or enrolment activities are conducted in Hong Kong”.
