I move that the Education Scholarships Fund
(Amendment) Bill 1988 be read a second time.
The Education Scholarships Fund Ordinance was enacted
in 1955. It provided for the establishment and administration
of a trust fund known as the Education Scholarships Fund.
Section
J.
#5 (2) (a) of the Ordinance provides for the appointment
of the Director of Education or his representative as chairman
of the Púnd Committee. It is Government's declared policy
that, wherever feasible, people other than officials should
chair Government's advisory boards and committees. The Bill
accordingly provides for people other than the Director of
Education or his representative to chair the Education
Scholarships Fund Committee.

The Bill also provides for accounts and records
of the Education Scholarships Fund to be kept as the Director
of Accounting Services may require.
بو
Apart from some very old scholarships, the donors
of which cannot be traced, all donors and heads of schools
have agreed to the proposed change of chairmanship. The changes
proposed in the Bill are desirable and straightforward and
it is intended to bring them into effect as soon as the Bill
is enacted.

Six, I move that the debate on this motion be adjourned.
