HONG KONG ANNUAL REPORT
A successful Inter-School Drama Competition was held this year in which schools entered for both English and Cantonese competitions. Some 140 teachers have been trained in short courses on art. Routine inspection has revealed that the standard of art is gradually improving in the 600 schools which are now visited.
In Physical Education, some progress was made in introducing the subject into the curriculum of kindergarten schools. In the training of teachers in service, emphasis was placed on training those who had had no previous training, and also on those teachers undergoing qualifying courses. 240 teachers attended short courses during the year. Towards the end of the year a new qualifying course for primary teachers was started and 256 teachers attending this course were undergoing training in physical education. The New Territories Sports Association introduced minor games in its competitions for primary school children.
