教育局表示，香港公帑大學錄取持文憑試（DSE）資格的非本地生人數，在四年內增五倍至2025-26學年的65人。同期，本地DSE考生獲公帑大學錄取人數則下跌5%。此趨勢引發社會流動性憂慮。
教育局周二向立法會財經事務委員會回覆指出，公帑大學政府資助學位課程錄取持DSE資格的非本地生人數，由2022-23學年的13人上升至2023-24學年的20人，其後更增至43人，並於2025-26學年達65人。
同期，持非DSE資格的非本地生錄取人數上升15%，由3,919人增至6,456人。他們需支付較高學費。
相比之下，本地DSE考生獲公帑大學錄取人數由12,178人降至11,501人，下跌5%。
教育局的資料顯示，此變化正值立法會審議最新預算之際，引發對社會流動性的關注。
