COMMENTS ON EDUCATION GREEN PAPER
The Education Department has received a number of questions
from newspapers asking for comment on yesterday's press release on
the memorandum of Legoo unofficials commenting on the Education Green
Paper.
In reply, a spokesman for the Education Department said today:
"The full statement of the views of the ad hoc group of
unofficial members of the Legislative Council was submitted to the
government on February 1, 1974.
"Since then two discussions have been held by the Education
Department and Secretariat officers with members of the ad hoc group.
"A paper is being prepared for consideration by the Board
of Education collating all the views which have been expressed by
the public, interested professional bodies and, of course, by the
unofficial members.
"It would, therefore, not be proper under the circumstances
for the Education Department to single out any specific suggestions
for comment at this stage."
