The Editor, China Mail,
Sir,-According to the zew Education Ordinanco which was given its first reading recently at the Legislative Council we beg to voice our ideas os follows:
1.
There is protection for teachers' profession due to new Education Ordinance walch re- guinted that the registration of Leachers could be cancelled 'àt any time.
2. The newly proposed DUL contains many rigid regulations which will eventually end up win the close down of many schools. Consequently, there wil be a great number of students with no schools to attend to.
3. The incretse of schoolless studems and saumployext leachers will cause social dis
(urbances,
4. There is no reason why the government should deprive the privilege of Chinese to educate ineir next generation. Why the government didn't try And
to some other constructive ways, to help schools and to develop more resources for efficient and rble teachers insteau of simply willing them?
Lastly, we hope the governi- ment should have learnt lesson by showing more patienco and by giving amplo time to the public to propound their opinions Lowend the new Education Ordinance.
We remain, sir,
