Laurence Tang: Raise Tuition Fee of Non-local Students is Better Way

“Only 4% of non-local students are under the intake quota. This will not cause direct competition between local and non-local students… it is fair to give 20% of intake quota for non-local students to ensure the cultural diversity in HKU. The way to help local students to enjoy tertiary education in Hong Kong is to increase the total intake quota subsidized by UGC.

The way to solve the current phenomenon is to raise the tuition fee of non-local students rather than cutting the maximum intake quota. … HKU still has room to raise our tuition fees to cover the cost paid from the taxpayers… One practical way is to charge different tuition fee for different courses according to their costs.

… It is not a healthy situation for an international university like HKU to reducing the maximum intake of non-local students.”
