334 Scheme - Advantages

Advantages

  • This new system aligns with the educational systems of China, North America, and Australia.
  • Instead of writing two external examinations, HKCEE and HKALE, students under "334" will only sit for one external examination, the HKDSE. This may help to simplify the post-secondary admissions process for students, and may help to alleviate the added stress of having to prepare for two separate examinations.
  • The incorporation of a new subject "Liberal Studies" into the core subjects of the certificate (making it a total number of 4 core subjects alongside Chinese, English and Mathematics), targeted to raise student's awareness to world issues and political matters, develop critical & logical reasoning, and experience research processes of data gathering, sifting and analyzing through an independent research project, known as IES (Independent Enquiry Studies).
