Dear Carissa,
Code on Access to Information
Application No. 63/2020
I refer to your application under the Code on Access to Information dated
28 August 2020, which was referred from the Immigration Department to the
Education Bureau on 9 September 2020.  

As there is always movement of children of non-refoulement claimants, such
as departure from Hong Kong, the Education Bureau does not have
information on the number of these children enrolled in the Hong Kong
education system.

Yours sincerely,

Miss Suki CHEUK
