Supplementary to question No. 1
an 25.5.88
in Lesco Meeting on 25.5.88
MR.
CHEUNG (in Cantonese) : Sir, according to the figures
obtained in our surveys carried out in 1987 even if we are
going to increase the number of floating classes in
in that
region, there would still be a shortfall
3,000 places. Will the Government
of more than
inform this Council
what measures will be taken to arrange for students to
attend schools in other regions? In the next few years,
there will be an additional 5,000 people moving into that
region. What measures will be taken
resolve the
transport problems?
to
SECRETARY FOR EDUCATION AND MANPOWER
:
Sir, the original
question is concerned about what we are doing. I have
explained what we are doing and this does in fact solve
the shortfall for the next few years, up until 1992. From
1992 onwards,
onwards, we shall look again and do our best to do
what is needed.
MRS. FAN: Sir, I am pleased to hear that the Secretary is
confident that the quality of
of education received by the
children in this region will not be affected. May I ask
whether the Education Department intends to use objective
methods to confirm that the quality of education received
in this region is not affected?
