MORNING PRIMARY SCHOOLS MAY START CLASSES 15 MINUTES LATER
The headmasters of government primary schools have been advised
by the Director of Education, Mr. J. Canning, that, if they wish, they may
make adjustments in school hours so that minimum inconvenience to school children is caused following the introduction of summer time since
December 30, 1973.
In a circular to the headmasters today, the Director reiterated that he had no objection to them making such adjustments and he suggested that A.M. schools begin classes 15 minutes later, that is from 8.15 a.m.
with immediate effect.
Mr. Canning said that this temporary measure should remain in force in government primary A.M. schools until the latter part of February
when the situation will reviewed.
CORRECTION
Four Unofficial Members of the Legislative Council spoke on the
Securities Bill at yesterday's council meeting.
They were: The Hon. P.C. Woo, the Hon. Wilfred $.B. Wong, the Hon.
Hilton Cheong-Leen, and the Hon. G.M. Sayer.
The Hon. Wilson Wang did not speak on the bill as reported in
yesterday's Daily Information Bulletin.
The remarks attributed to Mr. Wang
were, in fact, made by Mr. Wilfred Wong.
The error is regretted.
