‘Direct Subsidy Scheme’ (DSS) School Receiving Government Subsidy

In September 1999, our school joined ‘Direct Subsidy Scheme’ officially and became a fully government-subsidized secondary school. ‘Direct Subsidy Scheme’ is characterized in two perspectives. Firstly, the government subsidizes schools with public funds. Secondly, schools are given greater autonomy in the areas of finance, curriculum and students admission. It has been commented by some scholars that ‘directly-subsidized school is an advanced step in school-based management’ and it allows more flexibility in the management. This new system empowers us to facilitate autonomy and accountability; motivate us to implement various measures for enhancement and provides parents with a wider scope and better quality of education services. Therefore, it has been said that, ‘A new hope of the government in the area of educational reform lies on directly-subsidized schools’.
