Each public sector school and DSS school has already received a one-off grant of HK$300,000.
Additionally, the Education Bureau has previously provided the "Grant for Promoting Chinese Culture and the Arts" and the "Enhanced Grant for Promoting Chinese Culture and the Arts" to all Scheme-KGs. Depending on student enrolment, each kindergarten may receive a grant of HK50,000 or HK80,000 for the standard grant, and HK150,000 or HK240,000 for the enhanced grant, respectively.
