Under the Secondary School Places Allocation (SSPA) system, the whole territory of Hong Kong is divided into 18 school nets according to the administration districts.

In addition to the secondary schools in the district, a school net usually also includes places from secondary schools in other districts in order to meet the demand arising from the changing number of students and to provide parents with more choices.
