334 Scheme

The 3-3-4 Scheme is the academic structure for senior secondary education and higher education in Hong Kong, referring to the structure of three years of junior secondary school, three years of senior secondary school, and four years of university education.

The programme replaced the British 3-2-2-3 system (three years of junior secondary school, two years of senior secondary school, two years of matriculation course and three years of university education). This scheme began in the 2009 school year. By 2012, HKDSE had replaced HKCEE (O Level) and HKALE (A Level).

Core subjects are Chinese language, English language, mathematics and liberal studies, along with three elective subjects. It is different from the old curriculum in that pupils now receive three years of senior secondary education and four years of university education. To move to university education, students must pass all four core subjects in the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education.

As a result, there is no more need for a genuine sixth form college. The first and only such college in Hong Kong, PLK Vicwood KT Chong Sixth Form College, changed to being largely a senior secondary college.
