Direct School Admission
Exercise 2006 for JC1 and Equivalent Level |
|
¡¡ |
|
|
The Direct School Admission Exercise (DSA)
aims to promote holistic education by giving participating schools
greater flexibility in selecting students while holding to the key
principles of transparency and meritocracy. |
|
For students, the DSA provides them the
opportunity to demonstrate a more diverse range of student achievements
and talents in seeking admission at the pre-university level. |
|
This year, Government and Government-aided
junior colleges (JCs)1 and the three independent institutions
offering pre-university programmes2 will continue to admit a
percentage of their students under the Direct School Admission Exercise
(DSA-JC) 2006. |
|
Direct School Admission for JC 1 or
Equivalent Level3 |
|
Similar to last year¡¯s exercise, Government
and Government-aided junior colleges (JCs) will be admitting up to 10%
of their 2007 JC1 intake using school-based criteria under the DSA-JC
Exercise. |
|
The 3 independent institutions offering
pre-university programmes will have the flexibility to admit up to 20%
of their intake using school-based criteria. |
|
Student Selection |
|
Each institution will admit students
according to its own merit-based admission criteria (academic and/or
non-academic criteria), based on the student personal qualities and the
areas of focus (such as leadership, science, music, sports) that the
school would like to emphasise. |
|
Information on the schools participating in
DSA-JC Exercise, their selection criteria and their application and
selection processes can be found on their respective websites. Annex A
lists the participating institutions¡¯ website URLs. |
|
The DSA-JC Exercise will be conducted prior
to the annual Provisional Admission Exercise (PAE). |
|
Students admitted via the DSA-JC Exercise
will have to meet the criteria for admission to a JC. They will not take
part in the Provisional Admission Exercise (PAE) and Joint Admissions
Exercise (JAE). The eligibility criteria for admission to JC are
attached in Annex B. |
