GOVERNOR AND COLONIAL SECRETARY TO OPEN TWO NEW SECONDARY SCHOOLS
Two new government subsidized secondary schools will be opened
next week, marking another milestone in the provision of places in the
fully aided sector, a spokesman for the Education Department said today.
Each project is a 24-classroom secondary school for 920 pupils.
The Governor, Sir Murray MacLehose, will open one of the schools -
the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Lee Ching Dea Memorial College - on
Tuesday at 3.00 p.m.
The other project, the William Booth Secondary School, will be
opened by the Colonial Secretary, Mr. Denys Roberts next Saturday (February
9) at 3.00 p.m. This school is named after the founder of the Salvation
Army, who are the sponsors and operators of the school.
Both projects have been built on land granted free to the sponsore
by the Government. In addition, the Government made capital grants towards
construction costs of up to 80 per cent of the total cost of building and
equipment. In the case of the Tung Wah, a special grant for difficult site
works was also given.
