has been kept as is at the beginning and not repeated at the end as it was not clear if it should be kept at the end. However, to follow the original instruction to keep page numbering as is, I have not removed it. If it is supposed to be at the end as well, it should be added. The table has been reformatted to fit Markdown table syntax for better readability. The original text had some inconsistencies and potential OCR errors (like "Vernacular Schools :-Binck." and "8,47-1"), which have been preserved as per the instructions not to change the original content except for formatting and obvious spacing or spelling corrections. "Binck" has been kept as is, assuming it is an OCR error for "Black". "8,47-1" has been kept as is; it is likely meant to be "8,471".
