Mr. Lieu and Mr. Geoffrey Devereux (formerly at the
Hong Kong Polytechnic) the respective Principals

Secondary Technical Schools at Lung Cheung (two schools),
Kowloon, Cheung Chau, Caritas St. Francis and Victoria
(the two last named being on Hong Kong Island). These
visits took up a lot of time and though they are the
sources of students for the Technical Institutes their
direct relevance to TETOC recruitment was something
less than marginal. They were however interesting and
as I was in each case accompanied by one of Mr.Kingwell's
Education Officers it was useful to be able to get to
know them (some were Chinese) obtaining a better idea
of how the Technical Education Branch works. I also
had the impression there was an element of window
dressing on the part of Mr. Kingwell to give me a
build-up as an expert on technical education in Hong Kong
in support of the case for keeping recruitment with
TETOC.
