ANNEX B TO XCC(74)69A
Language of Instruction
It
2.13
It is the Government's intention that
Chinese should eventually become the main medium
of instruction in the majority of junior secondary
forms, but this will take a considerable time.
will be necessary to develop text-books in Chinese;
to train teachers who can instruct in Chinese; and
to adopt improved techniques of language teaching in
Chinese. Nevertheless, decisions on the medium of
instruction should, for the foreseeable future, be left
to individual school authorities, who are best
placed to assess the needs of children attending
their schools. It follows that a pupil will take the
new Hong Kong Junior Certificate Examination in the
language of instruction used by his school.
