PROF. POON : Sir, my question has been partially asked by
Mrs. FAN, but I want to ask a bit further. Would the
Secretary inform this Council whether the Government
it fair to apply differential benefit treatment between
teachers in the Government and those in the aided sector
since all teachers are doing the same job?
SECRETARY FOR EDUCATION AND MANPOWER : Yes, I think
fairness does not necessarily imply uniformity and
not think it makes sense for the aided sector to have
identical terms with the Government sector when the
Government sector is SO comparatively
small, and the
by other factors
Government sector itself is controlled by other
because there are uniform conditions of service throughout
the whole Government service. Many of these terms are not
directly related to the teaching service.
