I’m in favor on the sensible decision of HKUST.
The achievement of Chan Yee-hei is appreciated by local as well as oversea. It’s worthwhile to spend more resources on such a talent specifically, in view of his potential and dream. Under suitable cultivation, he’ll probably be an outstanding scientist/inventor so that people will no longer criticize for his failure in CE. Even if HKUST doesn’t offer to him, the American universities may still offer. Which university hopes its students are all pure scholars?
I wonder his command of English is higher than the guess of most people. At least, he can communicate with others by simple English. In his recent American trip, he didn’t meet great difficulty. His aim, inventing a computer for disable people, is come from the talking with a Pakistan roommate. I think he is weak at reading and writing, in addition, indulged in science and invention, therefore he failed. As soon as he attends English course diligently, he will be still able to deal with tertiary learning. If he gives up improving English, it’s the problem of him but not the university. Do remember that HKUST has the right to expel him.
To him, studying at university is really beneficial to the career, by providing professional guidance, international sharing and various facilities. He can keep on doing experiment and invention in the institution of the university. Not comparing with other successful leaders without full tertiary education, such as Bill Gate, most of them are willing to study further if possible.
Of cause, generally, universities, and even AL classes, have no reason to offer students without passing in CE English. I understand the feeling of ordinary CE students, though I don’t completely agree with them. As Simon saying, it’s the pressure that he should suffer, as a society lesson. He must know that he enjoys a rare privilege. Once you have a greater achievement, others will be more jealous to you. ‘Do not care about laughing or rebuke of others, being a broadminded man.’
In HK, there are more than ten 10A candidates every year, but there is really lacking of outstanding teenaged inventor like Chan Yee-hei. Hope he will treasure this opportunity, and local universities can offer to more talents other than by CE or AL. Meanwhile, counting marks is the necessary evil, unless you have brilliant achievement at non-academic areas. Don’t be too much emphasize or ignore the importance of the Open Exams.
By the way, I’ve been to Tam’s memorial Secondary School, in which I saw numerous posters and newspapers cuttings about Chan.

well as for the "rare privilege"...
it's only a rare privilege in Hong Kong, not in more "educationally advanced" countries.
HKUST doesn't have to accept him, it's only their loss. I bet universities in foreign countries will be happy to accept him.
Then this would become an international joke (just look at these people saying he copied his own teammates for his project. Man, are young Hongers getting more and more stupid?)
