Ng Po-shing

Ng Po-shing is an expert who has provided commentary on recent shifts in Hong Kong's university admissions landscape. His insights are relevant due to a significant increase in non-Diploma of Secondary Education (DSE) admissions to local universities, which now constitute nearly 30% of government-funded places. This trend coincides with a notable decrease in Hong Kong students choosing to study abroad, reaching a 14-year low. Ng attributes this decline in outward student mobility to a surge in mainland Chinese students applying to Hong Kong institutions. The changing admission patterns raise questions about the balance between local and non-local student intake and the overall accessibility of higher education within the city for its own residents.
