1. Circular Memoramdum 

The Education Bureau (EDB) will continue to implement the admission arrangements for K1 classes in kindergartens (KGs) for the 2021/22 school year (hereafter referred to as "2021/22 K1 Admission Arrangements") with a view to facilitating the smooth operation of the admission process of KGs and helping parents secure a KG place for their children in a timely manner. The EDB Circular Memorandum (EDBCM) No. 73/2020 was issued on 19 June 2020 to all KGs.

Note:
1. If parents cannot present the RC/AP to the KG their child has been admitted to during the Centralised Registration Dates, the KG concerned may not be able to complete registration for their child. Hence, parents are required to submit application to the EDB within the designated period.

2. If an applicant is admitted after the Centralised Registration Dates, he/she is still required to submit the RC/AP for registration.  If an applicant wishes to change school after registering with a KG, he/she is required to get back the   RC/AP from the KG with which he/she has registered.  Upon getting back the RC/AP from a KG, the KG concerned will no longer reserve the place for the applicant.  Normally, the registration fee paid to the KG with which the applicant has registered will not be refunded.
