AIDED SCHOOLS.
18. There are fourteen Grant-in-Aid English schools, of which seven are for boys and seven for girls.
19. One English school for girls has a primary department only. One school for boys which has a secondary and a primary department receives a grant-in-aid in respect of its primary department. One Infant school for girls has been added to the Grant List during the year. The remaining eleven, classed in Table II as secondary schools, have primary departments as well as the upper classes.
20. There are four Grant-in-Aid Vernacular schools for girls which are classed in Table II as secondary schools.
21. One English school for Chinese receives a special grant outside the Code but from funds at the disposal of the Director of Education.
22. There are 314 subsidised vernacular schools.
23. The difference between "Grant-in-Aid" and "Subsidised" schools lies in the fact that assistance to the former is implemented under the regulations of the Grant Code, while the system of quarterly paid subsidies is found more suitable in the case of Vernacular schools.
UNAIDED SCHOOLS.
