The project“Decide Well, Spend Wisely”encourage students to autonomously spend the money and students don’t need to pay back the money even though they drop out or abandon the HKDSE examination. Headmasters from secondary schools that participate in the project expect students to spend wisely and take reflection on the funding in order to avoid the students take it for granted and let down the donors.
