1-CLASSIFICATION OF SCHOOLS.
Those schools in England and Wales which are, wholly or partly, dependent on assistance from public funds lie within the control of the Local Education Authority, the Board of Education and, in the case of non-provided schools, of their own managers.
In Hong Kong Government doubles the parts of Local Education Authority and Ministry of Education. Consequently there is no distinction with regard to financial assistance from rates and taxes.
Of the 1007 schools controlled by the Education Department in 1929 twenty are directly managed by Government. The cost of their equipment and maintenance is a charge on the colonial revenues and, except for a few temporary appointments, the teachers are civil servants on the permanent establishment of the Government of the Colony.
328 schools under private management are partly dependent on assistance from public funds.
