GOVERNMENT EXPANDING EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES THROUGH AIDED SECTOR
The Government expects to grant 10 more sites to non-profit-making
secondary schools during the current financial year.
The move is in line with the government's aim to expand educational
facilities through the aided sector.

This policy is contained in the White Paper on Education Policy 1965.
As a result, the Government gives free sites, grants and interest-free loans
towards the capital costs of new school buildings and equipment to selected
non-profit-making organisations in order to achieve the approved targets in
the primary and secondary fields.

In addition, grants and subsidies are given to meet or help to meet
the recurrent costs in these schools.
Commenting on land grants and financial assistance to selected non-
profit-making schools, a spokesman for the Education Department said that during
the past five years a total of 56 sites for secondary schools were granted.
Last year, six sites were granted to secondary schools providing a
total of 5,080 places.
