In Hong Kong, the term is used interchangeably with the completion of [[sixth-form]]. After sitting for the [[HKCEE|Certificate of Education examinations]], eligible students receive two years of sixth-form education, upon completion, they sit for the [[HKALE|A-level examinations]]. Most secondary schools offer the sixth-form programme, and there are also a few sixth-form colleges. Students obtaining good grades in the A-level examinations will be admitted to a university. The [[334 Scheme|education reforms]] of Hong Kong in the 2000s have replaced the fourth- and fifth-form education, which prepared students for the HKCEE, and the sixth-form education with a three-year senior secondary education, which leads to the [[Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education]] Examination. The last sixth-form students graduated and took the A-level examinations in 2012; in the same year the first students studying the new senior secondary curriculum graduated and took the first HKDSE examinations.
