Students are being forced to leave Hong Kong's top international schools as the financial crisis bites.
Often their parents have lost their jobs and are returning to their home countries.

Reports have put the pullouts at between 10 and 50 students at individual schools, although spokesmen for the Hong Kong International School and the English Schools Foundation insist there have been no unusual student movements in recent months.
