香港公立大学在政府加倍非本地生招生配额的第二个学年，非本地本科生人数超过2万，同比增长17%。教育局局长崔彦琳表示，将密切关注情况，并在大学配套设施准备就绪时不排除检讨配额。
香港公立大学自2024-25学年起，将非本地生招生配额加倍至相当于本地生人数的40%。当局计划在2026-27学年将阈值提高至50%。
根据最新数据，在这一政策的第二个学年，非本地本科生人数超过20,000人，较上年增长17%。教育大学（EdU）在过去三个学年，非本地本科生人数激增90%，位居首位，其次是浸会大学。
教育局局长崔彦琳于周六在媒体会上表示，一些大学本年的配额已接近饱和，强调发展速度之快。她说：“我们会密切留意情况。如果有需要，且大学们的配套设施已准备就绪，我们不会排除检讨配额。”
崔彦琳还提到，通过一项计划，可增加约5,000个宿舍位，以容纳更多非本地生。该计划允许私人发展商或运营商将商业楼宇改建成学生宿舍。
这一政策旨在提升香港高等教育的国际吸引力，但需确保大学资源跟上步伐。
