Thank you.

But do you know what is IB related to 3 3 4 scheme ?


I would read the website you provided.

Thank you very much.

334 is not related to IB.

334 refers to 3 yrs "junior secondary" +  3yrs "senior secondary" + 4 yrs University of HK.

thus, the change is in the senior secondary and Univ. for basic infor, pls read http://334.edb.hkedcity.net/

IB is another system which is worldwide. i guess u r referring to the IBP which some local DSS are going to offer (instead of taking the exam for 香港中學文憑.)

Do you mean that if my kid join IB course then my kid should study abroad. Cannot go to Univerisity in HK ?

Am I right or wrong in this concept ?

not necessary. he/she can still go to universities in HK thr non-JUPAS.

u may make reference to non-JUPAS req. of :
HKU at http://www.hku.hk/admission/nonjupas-entrance.htm
CUHK at http://www2.cuhk.edu.hk/oafa/local-students.php?category=non_jupas&section=Entrance%20Requirements

mindful that kids entering thr non-JUPAS have to compete w/ overseas candidates, kids from Int'l Schools, etc.

So can I say in this way, if I want to study U in HK.
I have to join 3-3-4 course in the school. However if I want my kid to study abroad then I better join IB courses if available.

Please comment.

well, i think a more accurate position will be:
u should ve a relatively higher chance to enter local universities thr the New Senior Secondary (NSS) [i.e. the second "3" in your "3-3-4" course] as:
a) seats reserved for JUPAS should be more than non-JUPAS; and
b) the "supposed" comparatively higher competition in non-JUPAS
UNLESS IB will be considered as one of the selection criteria in JUPAS (which I personally ve some reservation given the extensive resources EDB and HKEAA used in the NSS.)

That said, one route thr the NSS can still apply for overseas universities. HKEAA has been working hard on seeking recognition of HK Diploma of Secondary Education from overseas universities. As far as I know, the result is quite promising.
