3. Distinguishing, however, the Schools under Government management from the Schools under denominational managers, to whom the Government gives Grants-in-aid on the basis of Government inspection and examination, we had in 1880 in the Government Schools 2,078 scholars, as compared with 2,043 in 1879, 2,101 in 1878, and 2,148 in 1877, whilst we had in 1880 in the Denominational Grant-in-aid Schools 1,808 scholars, as compared with 1,417 in 1879, 1,051 in 1878, and 996 in 1877. There has therefore been a steady increase during the last four years in the number of scholars attending denominational Grant-in-aid Schools, subject to Government examination, and an almost continuous decrease in the number of scholars attending Government Schools, although the number of Government Schools was gradually increased from 30 in 1877 and 1878 to 31 in 1879, and 36 in 1880.

INSPECTORATE OF SCHOOLS,
HONGKONG, 28th April, 1881.
SIR,
I have the honour to forward to you the Annual Report on Education and the Blue Book returns for the year 1880.
2. The total number of Schools subject to supervision of the Government amounted to 63 in 1880, as compared with 50 in 1879, 47 in 1878, and 45 in 1877. The total number of scholars subject to supervision and annual examination by the Government amounted to 3,886 in 1880, as compared with 3,460 in 1879, 3,152 in 1878, and 3,144 in 1877. There has therefore been a steady increase during the last four years in the total number of Schools and scholars subject to the supervision of the Government.

4. But whilst there has been thus a continuous steady increase during the last four years in the total number of Schools and scholars subject to the supervision of the Government, the population of the Colony has also been increasing, and although the number of native Schools, unaided and uncontrolled by the Government, has also steadily increased, I do not think that we have reduced, to any appreciable extent, the number of children in the Colony (from 6-15 years of age) for whom there are no Schools of any sort provided. I calculate the number of such uneducated children in the Colony, for whose education no provision is made, to amount still to about 14,000.
5. As regards the education of girls, which continues to be strangely neglected in Hongkong, the number of girls in Government Schools fell from 257 in 1877 to 235 in 1878, to 179 in 1879, and to 138 in 1880. The cause of this steady decrease in the number of girls attending Government Schools is the natural objection the Chinese have to men teaching in and superintending Girls-schools, in consequence of which the Chinese much prefer to send their girls to the denominational Girls'-schools, which, though subject to Government supervision and examination, are taught and managed by Ladies. In these Grant-in-aid Schools, the number of girls steadily advanced from 343 in 1878 to 431 in 1879, and 561 in 1880. But this number is still out of all proportion to the number of girls for whose education provision ought to be made.
