4. Three things the numbers say
- Twenty-three primary against 17 secondary schools, a shortfall of 6 (-26.1%), the third steepest in the city after Central and Western (-41.4%) and Islands (-36.0%); the 17 secondary schools tie with Central and Western as the second fewest, ahead of only Islands with 16.
- Aided schools are 34 (31.5%) and government 3, while 71 private schools make up 65.7%. Tsuen Wan is the only district with no direct-subsidy school and no ESF school, and just two private primary and secondary schools, Invictus and Hong Kong Nulighting College.
- The gender split is the most lopsided in Hong Kong: one boys school (St Francis Xavier’s Memorial), no girls school and 107 co-educational schools. On religion, 42 schools have no affiliation and 41 are Christian, with 18 Catholic, 4 Taoist and 3 Confucian-Buddhist.
5. Getting around the district
Main MTR stations: Tsuen Wan, Tsuen Wan West and Tai Wo Hau stations, with buses and ferries for Sham Tseng and Ma Wan. Door-to-door travel between a school and a lesson usually stays under half an hour; when a timetable leaves only one free hour, an online lesson beats crossing stations.
Fix the school station first, then the tutor station, and only then look at travel time: inside one district the difference between stations can reach twenty minutes.
