In light of the latest development of COVID-19 and the need to reduce social contact to arrest the spread of the disease in the community, the Central Allocation results of this year's Primary One Admission will be sent to parents by post. Parents need not go to "Central Allocation Centres" to collect the allocation results, a spokesman for the Education Bureau (EDB) said today (April 23).
"The EDB will deliver the 'Primary One Registration Form' with Central Allocation results to parents by door-to-door delivery from June 3 to June 4 through the 'Local CourierPost' service provided by Hongkong Post. If no one is present to receive the mail item at the time of delivery by Hongkong Post, a 'Mail Collection Notification Card' will be left for parents to collect it from the designated post office starting from the afternoon of the following working day. If parents have not received the 'Primary One Registration Form' or the 'Mail Collection Notification Card' issued by Hongkong Post by June 5, they could collect the 'Primary One Registration Form' at the designated 'Collection Centre' from June 6 to June 7. The EDB will send a letter to parents on April 24 to inform them of the detailed arrangements," the spokesman said.
The spokesman reminded parents to keep themselves abreast of the latest arrangements for the release of Central Allocation results and for registration by reading the latest EDB press releases and the messages posted on the EDB's Primary One Admission Website (path: EDB website (www.edb.gov.hk) > Education System and Policy > Primary and Secondary School Education > School Places Allocation Systems > Primary One Admission System).
Parents may call the EDB's 24-hour automatic telephone enquiry system on 2891 0088 for information on Primary One Admission. Further enquiries may be directed to the School Places Allocation Section (Primary One Admission) on 2832 7700 and 2832 7740.
