Secretary for Education Christine Choi vows zero tolerance on schools misusing third-party collaboration to offer unapproved courses

An inspection task force will be established in Hong Kong to crack down on unauthorised collaboration between schools and tutorial centres, the education minister has revealed, following accusations that a Shenzhen-based centre offered classes for the city’s university entrance examination without approval.

Secretary for Education Christine Choi Yuk-lin said in a media interview on Monday that she expected the task force, which will conduct random inspections, to improve quality control and boost parents’ confidence.

“Borrowing a shell to run a school [a school using the guise of third-party collaboration to offer classes] is unacceptable, and we have zero tolerance for it,” Choi said.
