The Education Bureau announced that it will disburse subsidies related to the areas of education under the new round of the Anti-epidemic Fund, totaling about HK$600 million. Following the approval of the new round of the Anti-epidemic Fund by the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council on December 21, each kindergarten, private primary and secondary day school will receive a grant ranging from HK$60,000 to HK$160,000, benefitting around 1200 schools. As for private schools offering non-formal curriculum - generally referred to as "tutorial schools" - will receive a one-off relief grant of HK$40,000, given the schools are still in operation on the date of invitation of application. Around 2,700 schools will be benefitted. Letters and circular memoranda will be issued to schools today or tomorrow to inform them of the details.
