Secondary One Admission

The Secondary School Places Allocation (SSPA) System is Hong Kong's official mechanism for distributing subsidized Secondary One places to primary school graduates. The allocation operates in two distinct, consecutive phases. First, the Discretionary Places (DP) stage allows students to apply directly to individual schools based on academic and interview merits. Second, remaining places are funneled into the Central Allocation (CA) stage, which is subdivided into Part A (unrestricted, territory-wide choices) and Part B (restricted, district-based choices). The table below summarises past years’ allocation figures, including DP places, Central Allocation Part A and Part B places, reserved places, and total places.

Year	DP	CA:A	CA:B	Resv	Total
2020	50	11	94	10	165
2021	50	11	94	10	165
2022	50	11	94	10	165
2023	50	11	94	10	165
2024	50	11	94	10	165
2025	50	11	94	10	165
2026	50	11	94	10	165
