In recent developments, the educational landscape in Hong Kong has seen significant shifts, particularly with the introduction of the revamped Diploma of Secondary Education (DSE). The removal of the Liberal Studies subject and its replacement with a focus on patriotic education under the “Civics and Social Sciences” subject has sparked debate and concern regarding its acceptance overseas.

A recent update has shown that nearly 80 overseas institutions had not listed the new DSE format in their admissions requirements, with numbers suddenly halving. This sudden change, followed by a partial “revival” of acceptance in some institutions, as noted by a local media investigation, suggests a complex situation for students aiming for international education pathways.

As a response to these challenges, and amidst these changes, here at Arcadia Curriculum, we offer robust academic tutoring services for students who are navigating both local and international education systems. Whether you are in your final year of DSE or are considering overseas university options, we provide intensive courses tailored to your needs.
