Measures
Equal opportunities for admission to KGs must be provided by KGs for all children (regardless of their race, gender and ability), including handling the applications from NCS children properly with due regard to the difference in their culture and customs from local practices.
If there are vacancies, KGs should continue to admit children with different backgrounds and needs.
(4) Admission Support for NCS Children
Measures
KGs should ensure that all staff involved in the admission procedures have a clear understanding of the measures catering for NCS children and their parents, and implement such measures properly, e.g. providing parents of NCS children with the English version of application form and admission guidelines. In this regard, the Equal Opportunities Commission has published an “Easy Guide on Promoting Racial Equality in Schools: Kindergarten Admission (Applicable to Kindergartens with Local Curriculum)”. For details, please refer to:
https://www.eoc.org.hk/EOC/Upload/Training%20and%20education/Teaching%20 resources/Leaflet_Admission_English.pdf
If interviews are arranged for NCS children/parents, KGs should arrange interpretation and/or translation service for applicants as necessary, or allow parents and children to be accompanied by a Chinese speaking relative/friend during the interview to facilitate communication. KGs should state explicitly the above-mentioned interview arrangements on the school website to inform parents of NCS children that the above assistance could be offered.
