Students Exchange Programme Subvention Schemes
Students Exchange Programme Subvention Schemes
- Junior Secondary and Upper Primary School Students Exchange Programme Subsidy Scheme: “Understanding Our Motherland”
- Senior Secondary School Students Exchange Programme Subvention Scheme
Programme Objectives:
The Schemes aim to subsidise schools to organise school-based exchange activities for upper primary, junior and senior secondary students to enhance their understanding of the history, culture and development of our country and broaden their horizons.
Programme Details:
The school-based exchange activities organised for students can be conducted in Hong Kong or the Mainland. Mainland activities may include learning activities in the Macao Special Administrative Region. The Schemes provide different subsidy ceilings for the activities conducted in Hong Kong, within or beyond the Guangdong Province to cater for the learning needs of students. To better facilitate the arrangement of school-based exchange activities for the whole school year, school applications for the Schemes will be accepted and processed in the following two batches.
