LUTHERAN WORLD SERVICE PRAISED
******
THE DIRECTOR OF SOCIAL WELFARE, MR. THOMAS LEE, PRAISED THE LUTHERAN WORLD SERVICE TODAY (THURSDAY) FOR ITS FORESIGHT IN ESTABLISHING THE KWUN TONG VOCATIONAL TRAINING CENTRE TO PROVIDE LOCAL YOUNG PEOPLE WITH INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL TRAINING.
SPEAKING AT THE CENTRE'S 10TH ANNIVERSARY GRADUATION CEREMONY, HE SAID HONG KONG'S ECONOMY DEPENDED VERY MUCH. ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF ITS COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY, AND TO MAINTAIN THE DEVELOPMENT, THERE WAS A NEED FOR SKILLED WORKERS AND TRAINED COMMERCIAL STAFF.
VOCATIONAL TRAINING, HE NOTED, WAS THE MOST DIRECT FORM OF EDUCATION BECAUSE IT PREPARED YOUNG PEOPLE FOR FUTURE EMPLOYMENT WHILE AT THE SAME TIME PROVIDED THE INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL FIELDS WITH THE NECESSARY WORK FORCE. FULLY REALIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF VOCATIONAL TRAINING, THE LWS ESTABLISHED THE CENTRE IN THE SPRING OF 1965.
THE FACT THAT ENROLMENT HAD INCREASED EACH YEAR AND ITS GRADUATES VERY MUCH SOUGHT AFTER BY LOCAL COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL UNDERTAKINGS WAS PROOF OF THE HIGH REPUTATION THE CENTRE HAD ESTABLISHED FOR ITSELF THROUGH SOUND MANAGEMENT AND GOOD TEACHING TECHNIQUES.
MRS. LEE PRESENTED PRIZES AND CERTIFICATES TO THE GRADUATES.
