Blue Book Reveals Mainland Students Flocking to Hong Kong as Education Hub
A Blue Book released in late March 2026 by Peking University's Sustainability Research Institute and two education companies reveals mainland Chinese students increasingly choosing Hong Kong for education, driven by geographic proximity, cultural familiarity, and career prospects. The report notes the trend has evolved from an elite pathway for top students into a complex ecosystem spanning schooling, undergraduate admissions, and taught master's programmes, with links to long-term residency planning. Hong Kong is predicted to become an educational magnet, supported by policies doubling non-local student quotas to 40% from 2024-25.
