「香港大學收生應調低非本地生限額」這條辯題，就本科生而言，不應成立。

原因簡單，招收更多海外學生入讀，令港大成為國際一流的大學，在不影響本地學位供求

下，沒有理由反對。



影響本地生入讀機會？

本地學生，不論透過聯招與否，所獲大學學額皆受政府資助。港大每年最多可招收 20%的

非本地本科生，當中 4%為公帑學位，即同時與本地學生競爭，但影響極微。另外 16%則

為自資學額，部分受政府津貼，但不會影響本地生入讀機會。

這些學額應否獲政府資助是另一個議題，但無論如何，對本地生影響並不大。



國際化？內地化。

引入更多海外生旨在令港大成為更多元化的社區，原則上並非壞事，只是實行上有問題。

關鍵在於過高的內地生比例。港大教務長數年前曾表示，港大的目標是把非本地生的比例

增加至兩成，當中的四分三為內地生，其餘則為海外學生。今年收取非本地生佔總收生人

數 15.5%，當中有 10%來自內地，離目標不遠矣。校方收取非本地生旨在令港大國際化，

卻是背道而馳，變成內地化。



‘The maximum intake of non-local applicants to HKU should be reduced’ this motion

shall not stand in terms of undergraduates. There is no reason to object recruiting more

overseas students, provided that this does not come at the expense of local degrees offer.



Reducing local applicants’ admission chances?

Full-time local undergraduates degrees, applied through JUPAS or non-JUPAS, are all

government-funded. Each year, the University can admit non-local applicants up to 20%

of their total intake-quota, with 4% government-funded, which may affect the local

applicants a little. The remaining 16% is self-financing, partly funded by the government

yet does not affect the chances of admissions by local applicants.

Whether these degrees shall be funded is another issue, but either or not, it does not lead

to huge influence on local students.



Internationalization? Mainlandization

Creating a more diverse community through recruiting more overseas students is in

principle not a bad thing, but problematic practically. The key is the high ratio of

mainland students. The Registrar has claimed a few years ago that HKU’s goal is to

increase the ratio of non-local applicants to 20%, fourth-thirds of which are mainland

students. This year, non-local students take account for 15.5% of the total intake quota,

with 10 % coming from the mainland. The figure is very close to HKU’s goal. However,

what HKU does has defeated its purpose ─ this is Mainlandization, but not

Internationalization.
