SECTION I
THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM OF HONG KONG
Introduction
1. The structure of the educational system from Kindergarten to University level is shown diagrammatically in Figure I. Three main types of schools are included in this system: those wholly run by Government, those run by voluntary bodies and assisted financially by Government, and those run and financed wholly by private bodies or individuals. Schools receiving assistance from Government are again subdivided into three groups: grant-in-aid, subsidized, and assisted private schools.
2. In general, schooling is not free although in government and government-aided primary schools fees are kept as low as possible, and in order to benefit poor children a 20% remission rate of fees is normally allowed; in government and aided secondary schools 45% remission rate of fees is allowed in forms I-V, and 50% in form VI.
3. In addition to fees, subsidized and grant-in-aid schools in receipt of recurrent aid, are allowed to charge a 'subscription' to provide addi- tional educational facilities, and to enable them to repay the interest- free loans often granted by Government to assist in meeting the capital cost of construction of the schools.
4. In Hong Kong, Chinese and English are the most important languages in common use, and schools can be classified as follows according to the language of instruction.

Anglo-Chinese ...

5. These schools cater for children aged from 3 to 6 years and play a significant part in the educational system in that the majority of the pupils who enter the first year of the primary course have received

pre-primary schooling. They do not receive financial assistance, but some non-profit-making kindergartens in government premises are charged only nominal rents.
Primary Education
6. The six-year primary school course is normally begun at the age of six. The aim of the course is to provide a good general education and the curriculum includes Chinese, English, Mathematics, Social Studies, Nature Study, Art, Music, Handicraft, Needlework or House- craft, Health Education and Physical Education.
7. On completion of the primary course, suitable pupils are selected for places in government, aided and assisted secondary schools on the results of the Secondary School Entrance Examination.
Secondary Schools
8. There has always been a great demand in Hong Kong for the academic type of secondary school education. In September 1968, 72.4% of the primary school leavers entered secondary school courses leading directly to a certificate of education. Of these 50.0% entered Anglo- Chinese schools and 20.4% Chinese middle schools; 2.0% entered Secondary Technical schools. A further 3.8% of the primary school leavers entered secondary courses not leading to a certificate of educa- tion. Only 23.8% of the primary school leavers failed to commence some form of secondary schooling.
9. The five-year Anglo-Chinese secondary school course leads to the Hong Kong Certificate of Education (English) Examination. A grade C or above in each subject in this Examination is recognized by the University of Hong Kong, the University of London and some other overseas universities as equivalent to a Pass at Ordinary Level in the General Certificate of Education Examination.
10.
The two-year Sixth Form course in Anglo-Chinese secondary schools is directed towards the Advanced Level Examination of the University of Hong Kong.
11. The five-year Chinese middle school course leads to the Hong Kong Certificate of Education (Chinese) Examination.
12. The one-year Sixth Form course in Chinese middle schools is directed towards the Matriculation Examination of The Chinese Univer-

sity of Hong Kong. (The degree course at the University of Hong Kong is normally of three years' duration, whereas degree courses at The Chinese University of Hong Kong take four years).
Technical Education and Vocational Training
13. There is one technical college in Hong Kong. This is wholly maintained and operated by Government, and provides a wide variety of technical, vocational and commercial courses from the pre-apprentice- ship level to the Higher Diploma in Technology. Fees are charged. Enrolment in March 1969 was 1,510 full-time day, 1,650 part-time day release and 14,550 part-time evening students. These are divided among the Departments of Building, Surveying and Structural Engineering; Mechanical, Production and Marine Engineering; Commerce and Man- agement Studies; Textile Industries; Electrical Engineering; Mathematics and Science; Nautical Studies; and Industrial and Commercial Design.
14. It is expected that the future role of the technical college will be the training of technologists and high level technicians, while a technical institute, under construction and expected to be operating in 1969-70, will provide training at the lower levels. The institute will provide a large proportion of part-time day release places to meet the demand for them resulting from the development of more organized apprentice- ship schemes in industry. The institute will also provide courses for the training of technical teachers and workshop instructors.
15. There are six government, and two aided secondary technical schools together with one private technical school offering Hong Kong Certificate of Education courses with a technical bias. Three of these government schools offer in addition a matriculation course. Three more government technical schools have been included in the Public Works Building Programme.
16. A number of vocational schools offering day-time post-primary courses of various durations, which do not lead to a Hong Kong Certifi- cate of Education, are operated by voluntary agencies. Relevant enrol- ment figures are given in Table Ib.
17. Government has approved in principle the introduction of a new type of school, known as a junior technical school, which will provide integrated general education and vocational training of three years' duration to primary school leavers up to the age of sixteen. These schools will be established and operated by voluntary agencies and will
3

be given financial assistance by Government. During the initial trial period, 6,000 places will be provided, of which 5,000 will be in new institutions and 1,000 in established training centres, which will be developed into junior technical schools.
Special Education
18. The aim of special education is to educate handicapped children in the same way as ordinary children whenever possible; for this reason special schools follow the ordinary curriculum using special methods and teaching techniques.
19. There are about 1,400 handicapped children of ages up to and including the secondary level who attend special schools run by volun- tary organizations and private individuals. The schools include nine for deaf children, two for the blind, ten for the physically handicapped, two for the mentally handicapped and two for spastics.
20. In addition, sixteen experimental classes for children with learn- ing difficulties are operating in government primary schools.
21. These schools are closely supervised by the Special Education Section which also conducts one-year in-service courses of training for teachers of handicapped children.
Adult Education
22. Adult Education is provided by the Education Department in the Evening Institute, the Technical College Evening Department, the Evening School of Higher Chinese Studies, and twelve Adult Education & Recreation Centres.
23. The Evening Institute provides formal education courses rang- ing from literacy and special English classes to Certificate of Education courses and classes for teachers of selected subjects. In addition there are practical background classes in woodwork, housecraft, sewing and knitting.
24. The Evening School of Higher Chinese Studies offers a three- year course in general arts at post-secondary level, leading to a diploma issued by the Education Department. Subjects included in this course are Chinese Literature, Philosophy, Sociology, English Language and Literature. Most of the students attending these courses are teachers.
4

25. Many kinds of recreational, cultural and creative activities such as physical education, art, music appreciation, photography, dramatics, and discussions on civics take place in the Adult Education & Recrea- tion Centres.
26. The Departments of Extra-Mural Studies of the University of Hong Kong and of The Chinese University of Hong Kong run a great number of short courses covering a very wide range of subjects.
Universities and Higher Education
27. The University of Hong Kong, founded in 1911, is an inde- pendent body supported financially by endowments and Government grants made through the University Grants Committee. The latter approved grants totalling $25,386,800 for recurrent expenditure in the academic year 1968-69.
28. The University has five faculties: Medicine, Engineering and Architecture, Arts, Science, and Social Sciences. Enrolment figures are given in Table VIIa. The intake of first-year students in 1968 was 751.
29. The Chinese University of Hong Kong is a federal university with three foundation colleges. A large proportion of its income is derived from Government through the University Grants Committee which approved grants totalling $23,750,000 for recurrent expenditure in the academic year 1968-69.
30. The Chinese University has three faculties: Arts, Commerce and Social Science, and Science. Enrolment figures as at 31st March, 1969 are given in Table VIIc. 621 first-year undergraduates were enrolled in 1968.
31. In addition to the two Universities, a total of 18 private post- secondary institutions offer facilities for further study to students who have completed the secondary course. The total enrolment is 5,848. Included in this total is the Hong Kong Baptist College, with an enrol- ment of 2,062, which has 3 faculties: Arts, Science and Business.
Training of Teachers
32. Full-time teacher training of two years' duration is provided at three government colleges. The One-Year Course, conducted in Sir Robert Black College of Education was discontinued in September 1968.
5
Digitized by
The minimum academic qualification for entry into the Two-Year Course is five subjects (two being English and Chinese) at Grade E or above, obtained in the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examina- tion. Those who wish to apply for the Special One-Year Course in Northcote College of Education are required to hold a Post-Secondary College Diploma. Third Year Specialists Courses were started in September 1968 to provide specialist training in Art, Music, Domestic Science and Mathematics.
33. Government also provides part-time in-service courses of two years' duration at all three colleges and shorter refresher courses in the Evening Institute. Annual scholarships of one to four years' duration enable selected locally-trained teachers to take special courses in Britain.
34. Both Universities provide one-year full-time post graduate courses in education leading to a Diploma in Education, and two-year part-time post graduate courses in education leading to the Diploma in Education at The Chinese University and the Certificate in Education at the University of Hong Kong. Facilities for higher degrees in education are also provided.

SECTION II
IMPORTANT EVENTS OF THE YEAR
Primary Education
36. In June 1968, a reorganization took place in order to decentralize the administration of primary education. The Colony is now divided into five educational areas, two on Hong Kong Island, two in Kowloon and one in the New Territories.
37. The purpose of the reorganization is to facilitate closer liaison between schools and the Education Department, and to enable the latter to make a more accurate assessment of the educational needs of individual areas.
38. In September 1968, the fees in government primary schools and a large number of subsidized primary schools outside resettlement estates were reduced from $50 to $40 per annum, while those in all subsidized primary schools in resettlement estates were reduced from $40 to $30 per annum. The reduction of fees, coupled with the present rate of fee remission of 20% for government and subsidized schools, ensures that no child from a poor home should be deprived of a place in a public school solely through the inability of his parents to pay the fees.
39. In September 1968, a scheme of textbook and stationery grants for holders of free places, based on $20 per pupil per annum, was introduced into all government and subsidized primary schools. Special Education
40. At the Fourth Pan-Pacific Rehabilitation Conference held in September 1968 in Hong Kong, the Special Education Section was
7

responsible for organizing sectional meetings on 'Special Education'. Six papers, including one on 'Special Education in Hong Kong', were delivered by members of the Section.
41. The Pre-school Speech and Hearing Centre, provided by Govern- ment at a cost of $63,000 and equipped by Rotary Club, Island, West with a donation of $40,000, was officially opened in July 1968. This centre, with personnel trained in audiology, speech therapy, and educa- tion of the staff, provides screening, diagnostic and therapeutic services for children suffering from hearing impairment or speech defects.
Educational Television
42. Progress is being made with the design of Educational Television studios and the recruiting and training of staff. It is envisaged that television lessons in English, Chinese, Mathematics and Social Studies will be designed for school children.
Technical College
43. The Chief Examiner of Engineers of the Board of Trade of the United Kingdom gave his formal approval to the College to conduct the Alternative Training Scheme for Marine Engineers and granted the course recognition.
44. The Council of Engineering Institutions ruled that holders of the College's Diplomas in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineer- ing, Mechanical Engineering and Production Engineering should be exempted from the Council's Part I Examinations.
45. In January 1969, teaching machines were introduced to teach students knitting technology.
Teacher-training
46. Third Year Specialist Courses were started in September 1968. Students for these courses were selected from those who had completed the Two-Year Course in the Colleges of Education and from serving teachers in government schools.
Adult Education
47. Some 550 centre supervisors, organizers and class-teachers attended a 3-day Adult Education Conference at Northcote College of
8
}
Digitized by
Education from 1st to 3rd August. The Conference followed a pro- gramme of lectures, seminars, panel-meetings and a variety of cultural and social activities. Another training conference for over 400 voluntary helpers from Adult Education and Recreation Centres took place on 4th August.
48. A supervisors' training course was organized in May 1968 for intending staff of the Adult Education and Recreation Centres. The course, which was spread over 9 months, was held on one or two evenings a week and consisted of lectures, discussions, field-practice and individual study.
49. Training Courses in music, singing, art and folk-dancing were organized for supervisors and members of Adult Education and Recrea- tion Centres during the Summer vacation.
50. A Refresher Course consisting of 8 weekly lectures was also organized for Sewing & Knitting teachers of Adult Classes.
Board of Education
51. The Board of Education met on two occasions during the year. The subjects discussed included a large number of topics, such as Educational Television, Special Education, the Teaching of Chinese and Junior Technical Schools.
Scholarships, Bursaries and Maintenance Grants
52. The following government awards were made tenable at the two universities:
I. University of Hong Kong:
(a) 20 scholarships and maintenance allowances amounting to

54. 50 Grantham Scholarships totalling $28,800 were awarded to students at Certificate of Education, Matriculation, and University levels of study. The majority of these awards covered tuition fees only.
55. 26 awards of interest free loans amounting to $25,500 were made from the Hong Kong Rotary Club Students' Loan Fund to needy students of the two universities and the Technical College.
56. 125 awards of interest-free loans amounting to $139,500 were made from the Standard/Sing Tao Fat Choy Drive Students' Loan Fund to needy students at the universities, the Technical College, post-secondary colleges, Anglo-Chinese secondary and Chinese middle. schools.
57. Departmental and other scholarships were also awarded for overseas courses, as follows:
(a) Sixteen departmental scholarships for courses on the teaching of special subjects, and attachments to educational institutions in Britain for periods which normally last one year;
(b) Seven Government Training Scholarships for courses on the teaching of cultural subjects, four tenable in Britain, two in Australia and one in New Zealand for periods varying from one to three years;

58. There were 891 applications for admission to British educa- tional institutions and hospitals, and 942 students are known to have left Hong Kong for further studies in Britain. The number of students in Britain at the end of March 1968, including nurses and students at schools and tutorial classes, was approximately 4,430. In addition, 2,054 students are recorded as having left for the U.S.A., 1,286 for Canada and 154 for Australia.
Careers
59. During the past year, constant liaison was maintained with newly established Youth Employment Advisory Service of the Labour Department and discussions on careers for students were held with the City District Officers, the Hong Kong Federation of Industries, the Chinese Manufacturers' Association, the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce, the Federation of Youth Groups and the Hong Kong Council of Social Service.
60. Numerous visits to firms were arranged and a number of seminars and talks on careers conducted.
61. Three new careers guides were prepared on Construction, Electrical and Mechanical pre-apprenticeship training.
Hong Kong Students Office, London
62. 1,741 applications on behalf of 534 students were submitted to universities and colleges by the Hong Kong Students Office in London, of which 364 were successful.
63. The increasing number of students pursuing various courses in the United Kingdom is shown by the figures as follows:

Syllabuses and Textbooks Committee
64. The Syllabuses and Textbooks Committee gave guidance to Heads of schools on how they might assist parents and pupils in obtaining textbooks. Lists of textbooks, selected from among those considered suitable for use in primary and secondary schools, were compiled by the Committee and issued to schools.
Publications
65. Subject bulletins published during the year by the Syllabuses and Textbooks Committee and printed by the Government Printer were: Bulletin on Chinese Studies No. 29; English Bulletin Vol. V No. 4; Geography Bulletin No. 10; Mathematics Bulletin No. 6; and a Needlework/Dressmaking summary.
Examinations
66. Entries for both Certificates of Education Examinations showed a considerable increase. Entries for the English Certificate of Education examination rose from 25,000 in 1967 to 30,000 in 1968, an increase of 20%, whilst entries for the Chinese Certificate of Education Exam- ination rose by 7.8% to reach 8,090 in 1968. Secondary School Entrance Examination entries increased from 33,812 to 36,531-a rise of 8%.
67. As a result of the decision to change the name of the two school certificate examinations to 'Certificates of Education', every candidate sitting these examinations now obtains a certificate recording his grades in each subject taken. Probably because of this change and the consequent relaxation of pressure on candidates to obtain any par- ticular grouping of subjects, the absentee rate was higher than usual. Accordingly the percentage increase in the average number of can- didates who sat the major subjects was only 17.6% in the Certificate of Education (English) and 6% in the Certificate of Education (Chinese) examinations.

68. An interesting feature of the 1968 examination was the holding of an experimental multiple choice paper in English, in which the answers were recorded on a special answer sheet, capable of being marked by machine. Despite the fact that attendance for the experi- mental paper was voluntary, about 90% of the candidates taking English sat the additional multiple choice examination paper. The experiment proved very successful and showed that there were no real problems associated with the use of a machine-marked form for exam- ination purposes. Subsequent analysis of the answers showed also that the multiple choice technique could work satisfactorily in Hong Kong. Accordingly, plans to introduce machine-marked papers on a limited scale in 5 subjects in the 1969 examination were finalized.
69. An important visit in 1968 was that of Mr. George BRUCE, General Secretary of the University of London Entrance and Schools Examination Council. He discussed matters of mutual interest concern- ing both the conduct of the G.C.E. examination in Hong Kong and the present recognition of the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination by the University of London.
70. Mr. BRUCE's visit was followed by that of the Head of the Data Processing Department of the University of London, which led to a decision to mechanize the entry procedures to the G.C.E. examination in Hong Kong in close collaboration with the University of London.
Research, Testing & Guidance Centre
71. The annual testing programme, administered by individual schools and supervised by Area Officers, was progressively extended into an increasing number of primary schools. A total of 100,000 children (as compared with 60,000 in 1967-68) were tested at four grade levels from the primary third to the primary sixth years inclusive. Standardized tests in the basic subjects of Arithmetic, Chinese and English were given at each level, together with a verbal reasoning test and a numerical reasoning test at the Primary 6 level.
72. The attainment test results provide the basis for the educational guidance of pupils. The system of cumulative pupil records and the scheme for scaling internal school examination results initiated last year, enables Heads of schools and teachers to assess the relative performance of children for school leaving or for further education. Preliminary work concerning the extension of guidance, based on test results from primary to secondary levels, was initiated.

73. The first part of a study of the written Chinese vocabulary of primary school children was completed and a research paper published, entitled "The Vocabulary of Written Chinese: Contemporary Usage among Junior III Children in Hong Kong'. Copies were distributed to schools and educational institutions both in Hong Kong and overseas. Further study at the Junior 4 and Junior 5 levels is in progress.
Health Education
74. A summer course for Health Education teachers, and a number of competitions designed to stimulate the interest of school children in health and hygiene were organized during the year.
75. An increasing community awareness of the need for sex educa- tion led to the showing of a number of films on sex education to secondary school teachers in March 1969. 154 teachers from 76 schools attended.
Physical Education
76. In addition to the recreation camps organized annually in con- junction with the Armed Services, a series of school camps were held in the New Territories. The latter were highly successful, as were a series of work camps organized for secondary school children at forestry posts throughout Hong Kong.
77. The three annual festivals-Folk Dance, Games and Gymnastics continue to improve in quality and to attract increasing numbers of competing schools.

109. Sites were recommended for schools which will ultimately provide places for 2,160 primary pupils, the corresponding figure for 1967-68 being 14,580. Most of the future primary provision will take the form of standard-plan schools in resettlement, Government Low- cost Housing and Housing Authority estates where no grant of site is involved.
110. In March 1969, a total of 699,944 pupils were attending primary day schools, which is 108.1% of the estimated number of children in the 6-11 age group inclusive. This does not mean, however, that every child between 6 and 11 is in primary school as 140,766 places represent- ing 20.1% of the total primary day school enrolment were occupied by children outside the primary school age group.
Provision of Secondary School Places
111. A total of 6,060 secondary school places were provided in new school buildings and extensions during the year under review; 2,020 of these places were in the government and aided sectors. In March 1969, the total enrolment in the field of secondary education represented 39.0% of the estimated population in the 12-18 age group. The corresponding percentages for previous years were 37.5% in 1967-68, 35.0% in 1966-67, and 33.0% in 1965-66.

Progression from Primary to Secondary Education
114. A total of 76.2% of the primary pupils who completed their primary day schooling in July 1968 were admitted into secondary day schools. The corresponding figure for 1967 and 1966 was 73.6% in each case. An analysis of the progression for 1968 is as follows:

Student wastage during Certificate of Education Courses
116. Student wastage is much higher in the private sector than in the government and aided sectors. Statistics also indicate that such wastage is higher in Chinese middle schools than in Anglo-Chinese secondary schools. The number of pupils completing the English Certifi- cate of Education course in July 1968 represented 76.1% of the Form I enrolment four years previously. The corresponding figure for the Chinese Certificate of Education course was only 50.5%.

Progression from Certificate of Education Classes to Matriculation
117. In September 1968, a total of 31.5% of the students who com- pleted the Certificate of Education courses in secondary day schools in July 1968 were admitted to Matriculation classes in Anglo-Chinese secondary and Chinese middle day schools. The corresponding per- centages for 1967 and 1966 were 31.3% and 33.2% respectively. Never- theless, matriculation places have increased by more than 1,300 during the past year. However, as a result of the marked increase in Form V and Middle V enrolment, the progression figure for September 1968 showed only a slight rise of 0.2%.

120. There has been rapid expansion in this field of education during the past year. 108 new schools were registered, bringing the total number of kindergartens up to 672 on 31st March, 1969. Total enrol- ment in these schools has gone up by 21,256 or 24.6% from 86,421 in March 1968 to 107,677 in March 1969.
Primary Schools
121. While enrolment in primary day schools increased by 33,110, enrolment in night schools and special afternoon classes continued to drop. The decrease for the past year was 3,614. Total enrolment increased by 29,496. The greatest share of the expansion was in sub- sidized day schools.
122. The percentage of primary pupils attending government and aided day schools continued to increase and reached 68.5% in March
25
Digitized by
1969. This may be compared with 67.5% in March 1968, with 66.9% in March 1967 and with 64.6% in March 1966.
123. Enrolment in night schools, tutorial classes and special after- noon classes continued to decrease with the improved provision in day schools. From a total of 61,559 pupils in March 1962, it dropped to only 25,728 pupils in March 1969. This is a clear indication that part- time primary education is not regarded as a satisfactory alternative to the full-time primary course. Nevertheless, the primary night schools provide educational opportunities for children and adolescents who are or have been unable to attend day primaries.
Secondary Schools
124. The number of pupils enrolled in Certificate of Education courses increased by 14,089 or 7.4% from 189,659 in March 1968 to 203,748 in March 1969, the greatest share of the expansion being in the private sector. Enrolment increase was much greater in Anglo- Chinese secondary schools than in Chinese middle schools. During the past year enrolment in Anglo-Chinese secondary schools went up by 12,883 while the corresponding figure for Chinese middle schools was only 1,202.
125. The rapid growth in enrolment in Matriculation courses during the past few years indicates an increasing demand for Matriculation. places. The total number of Chinese and Anglo-Chinese Matriculation students in day schools in March 1969 was 10,235 compared with 3,515 students in March 1965. The increase for the 4-year period March 1965 to March 1969 is 191.2%. During the past year the number of students attending the Anglo-Chinese Matriculation course in private night schools also increased by 621 or 45.6% to 1,983 in March 1969. At present the Chinese Matriculation evening course is provided by only one school; 85 students were enrolled in it at March 1969.

EXAMINATION RESULTS
141. With the changeover from the former School Certificate ex- aminations to the new Certificate of Education examinations and the
30

abolition of passing and failing either in individual subjects or in the examination as a whole, the tables in respect of these examinations have had to be completely changed and comparison with previous years is not possible.
142. Tables VI and VIb now show performance in individual sub- jects on a grade basis, the percentages given being those of candidates achieving that grade or a higher grade. No percentages for grade H have been given since all candidates must achieve at least that grade.
143. Entries for the General Certificate of Education increased from 9,357 in 1967 to 11,740 in 1968, i.e. an increase of over 25%. While the percentage of passes at Ordinary level dropped from 59.0% in 1967 to 54.1% in 1968, the percentage at Advanced level rose from 58.6% to 60.3%.

TRUSTEE'S REPORT
ON THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIPS FUND
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st August, 1968
THE Director of Education, Trustee of the Education Scholarships Fund, has pleasure in presenting his report and the attached Statements 1 to 6 of the Fund's Accounts for the year ended 31st August, 1968.
2. During the year, the assets of the Fund had increased by $45,451.09 and as at 31st August, 1968 stood at $434,705.05. Of this figure $94,348.95 (21.7%) and $321,124.51 (73.9%) were represented by sterling and local investments respectively. The principal features of the Investment Account were the investment in China Light & Power of approximately $16,000, being part of the generous donation of $20,000 received from Mr. B. K. MURJANI; the investment in Hong Kong Electric of approx- imately $2,500, being donation received from Mr. William T. C. CHEUNG; again the capital of Lui Kee Scholarship which was originally put on fixed deposit, was invested in Hong Kong Electric. Further donations were also received towards the end of the year and were duly invested after the close of the financial year.

3. Income from investments, excluding donations of $360,00 credited to Income Account, amounted to $32,192.98 which represents an average yield of 7.75%. The table below summarizes the return on sterling and local investments covering the two schedules:

4. During the year, 68 and 104 Scholarships were awarded under the First and the Second Schedules respectively, all being financed by the investment income and donations received.
5. Further donations, totalling $16,000, were received and accepted by the Education Scholarships Fund Committee for the establishment of four new Scholarships, namely, William T. C. Cheung, P. Lui Koo Shiu Kee, C. H. Law and Pun Yin Keung Scholar- ships. The total number of Second Schedule Scholarships now under the Fund's ad- ministration stands at 28.
6. A total sum of $2,993.63 was transferred to Reserve Fund Account under Section 12(2) of the Education Scholarships Fund Ordinance for absorbing the rights issues of Hong Kong Electric Co. Ltd. The breakdown of this is given in Statement 2.
7. As a result of the devaluation of Sterling, income from sterling investments under the First Schedule and the Crozier Scholarship of the Second Schedule was reduced. Except for the latter, however, the amount of awards on the relevant Scholar- ships will not be affected in future years. As regards the Crozier Scholarship, the present level of award can be maintained for the next two years. After that either the capital sum has to be increased by further donations of about $1,000 or the total amount of award will have to be reduced by $60.00.
8. The accounts for the year ended 31st August, 1968, have been audited by the Director of Audit.

(b) The total number of 'registered' schools, not counted by level of education, is 2632.
(c) These figures do not include 1476 students in Special Schools and Seminaries.
(d) In addition to the three Teacher Training Colleges, the Technical College Evening Department provides a two-year course for In-service training of teachers of technical subjects.
