Allocation Process

The SSPA system in Hong Kong involves two main stages:

1. Discretionary Places (DP) Stage: In this stage, secondary schools can admit a certain percentage of students based on their own criteria, independent of the central allocation.
2. Central Allocation (CA) Stage: Students who do not secure a discretionary place are then allocated a school based on their preferences and academic performance, taking into account school banding and district.

The results being announced today cover both the discretionary places and central allocation stages ²⁸.

Notification Process

Parents of students who were admitted by participating secondary schools or Jockey Club Ti-I College at the DP stage will be contacted by the respective secondary school today, July 7, 2026, to inform them of the application results and related arrangements ¹.
