How it's used
Most primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong fall under this category, receiving government funding while maintaining a degree of autonomy in management. It occupies the middle ground between government schools, which are fully run by the state, and private schools, which operate independently. The term is frequently used by parents when discussing the local education system and school application strategies.
