title = "Effect of secondary school subject choices on performance of sub-degree students in Hong Kong - A STEM perspective",
abstract = "This study complements the reviews of STEM education in Hong Kong by other organizations from the perspective of sub-degree students. We investigate the effects of Hong Kong Diploma of Education Examination (HKDSE) results on the academic performance of STEM and non-STEM subdegree students. Our study finds that among the four core subjects, English has the biggest impact on performance of subdegree sub-degree students, followed by Mathematics Compulsory Part. Mathematics Extended Part and Science subjects are also found to have association with performance of sub-degree student and the effect of Science subjects is stronger among STEM students as compared to non-STEM students.",
