GRANT FOR VOCATIONAL TRAINING

New machinery to facilitate vocational training courses will

be installed in the Tang King Po School in Kowloon through a grant from

the Lotteries Fund.

Additional printing equipment has been purchased to enable the

school to offer courses in modern printing techniques.

The school had previously been granted a sum of $165,000 from

the Lotteries Fund in March last year to buy an offset printing machine.

But to fully implement the project the additional equipment is now required.

The expansion will also necessitate certain alterations to the

existing accommodation to provide a photographic room, storage space and

a lecture room,

A number of new sewing machines will be installed in the tailoring

section to help students acquire knowledge in the handling of sophisticated

machinery used by commercial garment manufacturers.

A total sum of over $60,000 has been granted to meet the cost of

the machinery and renovations.
