SPEECH BY THE GOVERNOR, SIR MURRAY MACLEHOSE AT THE FOUNDATION STONE LAYING CEREMONY OF TANG SHIU KIN SECONDARY TECHNICAL SCHOOL ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1978
Once again it is my pleasure to lay the foundation stone of a
building made possible by the generosity of Sir Shiu-kin Tang. The extent
of his contribution to education, medical and health and other social
services in Hong Kong has been massive. This present project has been
made possible by a further very generous donation of four million dollars.
This new school appropriately will be known as the Tang Shiu Kin
Secondary Technical School. It will have 24 classrooms and 16 special
rooms and will run the full range of classes from Form One to Form Upper
Six. It will rehouse the Victoria Technical School, increase its size,
and modernise its equipment and facilities, and it will also make the
existing premises of the Victoria Technical School available to relieve
congestion in the Technical Teachers' College and the Morrison Hill
Technical Institute.
The year 1978 may well be regarded as a landmark in the history
of education in Hong Kong because it will be the year in which nine years
of education was first provided for all. I hope it will also be remembered
/as a significant
