STUDENT FEES FOR POLYTECHNIC
Student fees for the polytechnic will not be increased in the near
future but may be revised later on.
The Colonial Secretary, the Hon. Sir Hugh Norman-Walker, indicated
this in the Legislative Council today when replying to a question by the
Hon. Mrs. Joyce Symons.
Sir Hugh said the present fees of $400 a year had remained the same
since 1966 and were taken over by the polytechnic from the technical college
when it was set up in August last year.
"It would therefore be reasonable to expect that the Board of
Governors of the Polytechnic and the University and Polytechnic Grants
Committee would wish to examine the adequacy of these fees in the light of
the costs of running the polytechnic," he said.
