The second sitting of the Basic Law & National Security Law Test (BLNST) in the 2024-25 school year is scheduled for December 15, the Education Bureau (EDB) announced today.

Applications can be made from Friday until November 7. 

Target participants for this round of the test are bachelor's degree holders, or students who will attain a bachelor's degree in 2025 or 2026, who plan to join or change to another secondary school, primary school or kindergarten to take up a teaching post.

Limited places for the test will be available on a first come, first served basis.

Those who have obtained a pass result in a test organised by the EDB, the Civil Service Bureau or a recruiting department or grade, will not be accepted to sit for it again. 

The third, fourth and fifth sittings of the test will be held in April, June and July next year. Relevant arrangements will be announced in due course.
