+AT PRESENT, THERE IS A CLEAR RUN THROUGH IN THE FIVE-YEAR SECONDARY SCHOOLS AND PUPILS DO NOT HAVE TO START PREPARING FOR THE SCHOOL CERTIFICATE OF EDUCATION COURSES IN FORM IV IMMEDIATELY AFTER TAKING A MAJOR PUBLIC EXAMINATION IN FORM !!L.+
EARLIER, MR. LOWE EXPRESSED THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT'S MOST SINCERE GRATITUDE TO ONE OF THE LARGEST OF THE SPONSORING BODIES THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH AND THE RELIGIOUS ORDERS.
HE SAID THAT ONCE A SCHOOL WAS BUILT, THE NEXT CHALLENGE FACING THE SPONSORS WAS TO ESTABLISH IT AS A GOING CONCERN TO ENSURE THAT IT WAS RUNNING WELL WITH A GRADUAL BUT STEADY IMPROVEMENT OF STANDARD.
+THIS STANDARD IS NOT BY ANY MEANS ENTIRELY ACADEMIC. THOUGH THAT IS THE MOST EASILY QUANTIFIABLE AND POSSIBLY THE MOST VISIBLE. THE STANDARD MUST LIE IN THE SERVICE TO PUPILS IN PREPARING THEM FOR ADULT LIFE IN HONG KONG BY GIVING MORAL TRAINING AS WELL AS ACADEMIC KNOWLEDGE.+
