教育局指出，申请上调学费的直接资助计划学校必须在申请材料中提交预算及调价理由，教育局还会核查这些学校是否已开展相关意见征询工作。此外，这些学校还需将学费总收入的至少10%用于学费减免及奖学金发放，以帮助那些因家庭经济困难而面临困境的学生。
According to the bureau, DSS schools must provide budgets and justifications in their applications for fee increases, and it would also examine whether the institutions had carried out consultations. DSS schools were also required to set aside no less than 10 per cent of their total tuition revenue for fee remissions and scholarships to cater to students who could be affected by family financial difficulties, it added.
基督教大埔三育中学计划成为明年学费涨幅最大的学校之一：该校中一年级的学费将上调25%，从原先的12,400港元增至15,500港元（约合1,580美元至1,975美元）。
The co-educational Christian Tai Po Sam Yuk Secondary School is set to implement one of the largest fee increases for next year, raising its tuition by 25 per cent rise from HK$12,400 to HK$15,500 (US$1,580 to US$1,975) for Form One.

香港直接资助计划学校议会副主席陈狄安表示，每所学校的学费调整都必须经过一套程序，包括征求各方利益相关者的意见。
Dion Chen, vice-chairman of the Hong Kong Direct Subsidy Scheme Schools Council, said every institution’s fee hike had to go through a procedure that involved consulting different stakeholders.
“学费调整方案需先经学校管理委员会批准，随后还需征求家长教师会的意见，最终须经教育局核准方可实施，”他说。
“The price increases require approval from the school management committee, following consultations with the parent-teacher associations, and the proposals are subject to approval from the Education Bureau,” he said.
“我认为每所学校的学费上调都有其合理依据，这些依据也得到了教育局的认可。”陈狄安指出，政府拨款减少、公务员加薪以及通货膨胀等因素都可能导致学费上涨。
“I believe that the increase in every school has its relevant justifications, which are accepted by the bureau.”Chen pointed out that a reduction in government funding, pay rises for civil servants and inflation could contribute to rising school fees.
“直接资助计划学校的教师人数多于公立学校，因此政府的补贴可能不足以支付这些学校教师所需的额外薪资增长，”他说。
“The number of teachers at DSS schools is higher than at public schools, so the government’s subsidy might not cover the additional salary increases for their teachers,” he said.
“此外，推行人工智能或STEAM教育、缩小班级规模、增聘教师以开设更多选修课程等新举措，同样也是导致学费上涨的原因。”
“New measures such as promoting AI or STEAM education, smaller classes or hiring more teachers to offer a diversity of electives could also contribute to the rise in fees.”
