The Hengqin School affiliated with Macau’s Hou Kong Middle School is expected to officially open in September 2024.
Located in the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin, the school will initially enroll students in its kindergarten and primary section for September this year.
The secondary school, however, is expected to be completed by 2026 and will have a projected enrolment of 1,000 students. According to preliminary plans, it will be a five-story building.
Chen said the secondary school plans to open six classes in each grade, with a total of 36 classes, and is expected to enroll 1,100 to 1,200 students, as cited in a TDM report. It will primarily employ teachers from Macau.
Chan Hung told TDM, “since this is a school for Macau students, the majority of the enrolled students will be from Macau, so the faculty will consist mainly of Macau teachers who are more familiar with the local situation.”
Nevertheless, the school will also recruit teachers from mainland China and abroad, as it aims to be a more internationalized school that will implement the IB (International Baccalaureate).
The construction of the secondary school officially commenced May 27. The school will feature an outdoor playground, a cafeteria, a gymnasium, multifunctional classrooms and parking facilities for staff. NS
