Supportive Services for Cross-border Students and Parents

Introduction

Cross-borders students increase steadily in recent years. In the school year of 2008-09, there are over 6,000 students who live in Shen Zhen but come to Hong Kong for schooling.These students often have difficult to adapt to local curriculum and studying subject to the cultural differences between Shen Zhen and Hong Kong.Their parents also are not familiar with local educational system and hence could hardly assist their children to solve study problem.However, there is no subsidized social services to help these cross-border families.

We started a pilot project in 2002-03 with joint effort from the BGCA of Hong Kong.From 2003 onwards, we have got subsidizes from the Quality Education Fund and Lee Hysan Foundations to run the “Hong Kong-Shen Zhen Express” Supportive Service Project for Cross-border Students and Parents.In the last year, we began to received funding from Peter Chan Charity Foundation to sustain the project operation.As to match up the actual service need, we started to deliver out-reaching services to these students and parents at our office in Shen Zhen.
