REPORT OF THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
1923.
REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE.
Tables I, II, III, IV, VII & VIII.
1. After deducting the school fees received the total nett expenditure on education was $726,638.28 ($606,797.80 in 1922). The increase is mainly due to an increase of $50,000 in Personal Emoluments caused by the employment of more British teachers: to an increase of $10,000 for Fees and Maintenance for Students in Training at Hongkong University: to an increase of $21,000 under Capitation Grants: to an increase of $9,000 in the subsidies paid to Vernacular Schools: and to an increase of $22,000 under Building Grants, all approximate.
2. School and Technical Institute fees amounting to $121,629.00 were collected ($114,564.50 in 1922). In addition, fees amounting to $7,220.00 were remitted to free scholars ($6,725.50 in 1922).
3. In the last 23 years the total Estimates for Education have increased twelve-fold - from $75,000 to $900,000 for 1924.
STAFF.
4. At the close of the year the permanent British Staff was 4 men and 8 women short of the Estimate (2 and 7 in 1922). However, there were also 9 temporary but fully trained women teachers, also 4 other women teachers with at least 3 years' experience. Several men teachers were expected to arrive shortly. Thus the year ended with the Staff stronger than it has ever been. It stood as below:-
