The Hon. Mr. M. K. Lo was inform- ed in Legislative Council this after- noon that the Education Ordinance and the Regulations made under it do not apply to Government schools, and no survey of Government schools has been made for the purpose of ascertaining to what extent they conform to those re- gulations.
"It can be said however that the general standard of hygiene and sani- tation in Government schools is well up to the regulation requirements.
