Enhanced Chinese Learning and Teaching for Non-Chinese Speaking Students
Enrolment of Non-Chinese Speaking Students (2017/18 School Year)
The initial estimated total number of non-Chinese speaking (NCS) students[Note] for the 2017/18 school year of our school, making reference to the number of NCS students at Primary 1 to 5 / Secondary 1 to 5* in our school currently and admitted to Primary 1 / Secondary 1* for the new school year, is ______(including ______NCS students pursuing the adapted curriculum for students with intellectual disabilities; and ______NCS students pursuing the ordinary curriculum). We confirm that the information of our current NCS students has been verified and updated in the WebSAMS, and we would verify and update the information of the newly admitted NCS students before the annual student headcount in mid-September.
Our school understands that the amount of additional funding will first be calculated on the basis of the above estimated total number of NCS students, which should then be adjusted based on the annual student headcount in mid-September 2017 (paragraphs 7 and 8 of the EDB Circular No. 8/2014 are relevant). Any adjustment will be made in the second instalment of the disbursement of funding as appropriate. Should the amount received by our school exceed our entitled amount, we undertake to return the balance to the EDB within the school year concerned.
Our school also undertakes to comply with the requirements as set out in paragraph 11 of the EDB Circular No. 8/2014, and submit to the EDB our school plan and school report by November 2017 to ensure equal opportunities for all our NCS students in learning Chinese on par with their Chinese-speaking counterparts, and create an inclusive learning environment in our school.

[Note] For the planning of educational support measures, students whose spoken language at home is not Chinese are broadly categorised as NCS students. If schools are unable to identify students’ spoken language at home in special situation (e.g. in the case of non-verbal students), schools may draw reference to the parents’ spoken language in determining the NCS status of the students. For those students whose spoken language at home is unknown or irrelevant (e.g. in the case of boarding students), schools should not regard these students as NCS students.
