(e) the rate at which the activity approach is
expanded will be governed by the availability
of the facilities for training and supervision.
It is intended to provide such facilities to
enable 350 additional classes to adopt the
approach each year, rising to 400 by 1987;
(f) it is desirable that teachers trained in the
activity approach should continue to teach in
classes where the approach is adopted (normally
Primary 1 3). Under no circumstances should
these teachers be excluded from consideration
for promotion because they teach only in the lower
part of the school.
Further details of these measures are given in Appendix 4.
Resource Materials and Services of Schools

In addition to improving the curriculum in the ways
described above, there is also a need in all schools, whether
or not adopting the activity approach, for more resource
materials and other aids to make teaching more effective. The
Government intends to take the following steps to provide for
this need:
(a) class libraries will be introduced in all
Government and aided primary schools commencing
in September 1983, with a pilot project in
twenty-five schools starting in September 1982.
In 1983 the class libraries will be introduced
into Primary 5 and 6 classes; the next year into
Primary 3 and 4 classes and the following year
into Primary 1 and 2 classes.
(b) additional audio-visual aids equipment will be
provided for schools;
