poo ai...

another round of "killing school" has just announced lately... i didn't pay much attention to the news... until my friend told me: "poo ai" is on the list... oooooops... my goodness...

"poo ai" is a catholic primary school in hunghum, kowloon... it's just next to the apartment building where i once lived... so it just took me a few mins to walk downstairs for school...

but in the coming school year... "poo ai" will no longer allow to admit P1 student (a.k.a. grade 1 in american edu system)... as it couldn't recruit enough P1 students this year... "poo ai" is just one of the primary schools to be killed...

why do we such a "school killing" policy? just becoz of a low birth rate in hongkong... resulting in an excess of primary school vacancies... esp hunghum is an old urban district, with fewer new born babies now... but u may also say that - there is a fault in the planning of education resources...

anyway... no matter for what reason... it is sad... *_*
