Together with the Kwun Tong institute, it should help ease the
immense pressure on the Morrison Hill Technical Institute.
In the meantime, an additional floor of 6,000 square feet will
be added to the workshop wing of the Morrison Hill Technical Institute to
expand and improve existing facilities.
The new floor will house three workshops
including one to
provide much-needed facilities for technical teacher and workshop instructor
training.
The other two new workshops will be for electrical installation
and mechanical fitting.
Extensive improvements and alterations will also be carried out in
including the textile mechanics workshop,
other workshops and laboratories
the power and machines laboratory, the welding section, the air-conditioning
workshop, and the vehicle repair and engine-testing workshop
maximum use could be made of these facilities.
Go that
These works should be completed by the start of the 1974/75
academic year.
Meanwhile, the planning for building and equipping a third technical
institute in Kwun Tong is nearing completion and construction should begin at
the end of the year. It will be fully operational at the start of the
1975/76 academic year together with the Kwai Chung Institute.
Planning work for the Cheung Sha Wan and San Po Kong technical
institutos is also progressing smoothly, and they are scheduled to come
into operation in 1976 and 1977 respectively.
These, together with a further three institutes being tentatively
planned for new towns such as Sha Tin, Tsuen Wan and Tuen liun, should go
a long way towards meeting the increasing demand for skilled craftsmen and
technicians in industry.
