3,800 applicants for the Four Higher Education Joint Examination

Macau has a total of 3,800 applicants for the Joint Admission Examination for Macau Four Higher Education Institutions in 2022, according to the education bureau.

“This year, there are 3,800 applicants for the joint entrance examination, which is similar to the number of candidates last year, and all examination centers have been functioning well over the past few days,” the Deputy Director of the Education and Youth Affairs Bureau (DSEDJ) Teng Sio Hong said to the press.

He also noted that based upon previous years, almost half the students stay in Macau for further studies, while more students choose to study in the Mainland, followed by Taiwan and Hong Kong, among others. 

In addition, he added that there were sufficient places available for local students.

Teng also said that in response to the changes in the Covid-19 epidemic situation in Zhuhai and Zhongshan, the four universities had made corresponding backup plans, including reserving some additional examination rooms so that individual students could arrange to take examinations in separate spaces provided that the requirements of epidemic prevention and border-crossing measures were met.

However, the authorities expressed that they had not received any Covid-related requests for assistance or feedback from candidates.

The four-day Joint Admission Examination for Macau Four Higher Education Institutions ended yesterday. JW
