Notes (1) Based on the 1979 Population Projection which assumes that the level of legal and illegal immigrantion
from China will taper off in 1981.
(2) Provision is based on the Primary School Building Programme (January 1981).
(3) Provision in operating classes in 1980/81 is the actual number of classes opened in September 1980.
In estimating the number of operating places in 1981/82 to 1984/85, allowance has been made for those children who, immigrated from China, are likely to enter primary schools after September 1980. Places in special classes
are excluded.
Delays in completion and reduction in numbers are underlined in red while the advancement of project completion and increases in numbers are underlined in green.
