The Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (DSE) Examination is drawing to a close and parents have most probably started to plan the progression pathways with their children. To introduce programmes suitable for DSE candidates, the Vocational Training Council (VTC) will organise the one-stop VTC Programme Selection Info Day on 10 May (Saturday) at IVE (Haking Wong).
