HONG KONG -- Concerned Hong Kong parents are pulling their children from local schools in droves, hoping to move or educate them abroad as Beijing increases control over the city under a sweeping national security law.
A total of 4,460 students have left the territory's secondary schools -- which span grades seven to 12 -- in the last year, according to a survey by the Hong Kong Association of the Heads of Secondary Schools, with 2,643 of them saying they will be moving or enrolling in schools abroad.
