In light of the new '3+3+4' school system and the lure of falling exchange rates with some countries, many parents are pondering whether to send their children abroad for their education.
It is an option some top officials have already taken.
The chief secretary's private office said Henry Tang Ying-yen's children had received primary and secondary education in Hong Kong but he sent them overseas for their higher education to broaden their experience.
Stephen Lam Sui-lung, the secretary for constitutional and mainland affairs, responded through his press secretary that one of his daughters had chosen to study design at a university in Britain.
Secretary for Transport and Housing Eva Cheng said through her press office that one of her daughters had made her own choice to be educated overseas.
