SECRETARY FOR HOME AFFAIRS, MR PETER TSAO, SAID TODAY (SUNDAY) THE ESTABLISHMENT OF INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS WOULD HELP ENCOURAGE EMIGRATED HONG KONG RESIDENTS TO RETURN.
HE MADE THIS REMARK WHEN OFFICIATING AT THE OPENING CEREMONY
OF A KINDERGARTEN IN SAI KUNG.
THE KINDERGARTEN IS RUN BASICALLY FOR EXPATRIATE CHILDREN BUT THERE WOULD ALSO BE A SUBSTANTIAL MEMBER OF LOCAL STUDENTS.
"I BELIEVE THIS WILL BE A USEFUL ADDITION ΤΟ OTHER INSTITUTIONS WHICH WILL BE RUN ON SIMILAR LINES.
"I SEE THIS NOT AS A MEANS TO FAVOUR EXPATRIATES, BUT RATHER THIS SCHOOL WILL BE PART OF THE EDUCATION SET-UP THAT WILL, AT THE SAME TIME, MAKE PROVISIONS FOR THOSE HONG KONG RESIDENTS WHO HAD EMIGRATED AND WHO NOW WANT TO COME BACK TO LIVE AND WORK HERE.
"TO SUCH PEOPLE, THE FOREMOST WORRY MUST BE THE EDUCATION OF THEIR CHILDREN," MR TSAO SAID.

HE SAID THAT THE MORE SUCH SCHOOLS, NOT ONLY AT KINDERGARTEN LEVEL BUT ALSO AT HIGHER LEVELS, WERE ESTABLISHED, GREATER THE PULL ON OUR EX-RESIDENTS TO RETURN.

THE
"THEREFORE, IN A BROAD SENSE, I VIEW THIS ESTABLISHMENT AS A PART OF A PACKAGE THAT WE WOULD NEED TO PUT IN TO ENSURE HONG KONG'S FUTURE STABILITY AND PROSPIRITY," HE ADDED.
