EXTRA PRIMARY 1 CLASS FOR LONG PING ESTATE CHILDREN
* *
THE ASSOCIATION OF FORMER DIRECTORS AND DIRECTORS OF POK OI HOSPITAL'S LEUNG SING TAK PRIMARY SCHOOL IN LONG PING ESTATE IN THE YUEN LONG DISTRICT WILL OPEN AN EXTRA PRIMARY 1 CLASS TO ACCOMMODATE THE CHILDREN OF THOSE TENANTS WHO HAVE DECLINED ΤΟ ACCEPT PLACES ALLOCATED TO THEM IN YUEN LONG ESTATE.
A SPOKESMAN FOR THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT TODAY (TUESDAY) SAID THAT THE ARRANGEMENT WAS NOW MADE POSSIBLE BECAUSE THE LEUNG SING TAK PRIMARY SCHOOL AND THE OTHER TWO PRIMARY SCHOOLS IN LONG PING ESTATE HAVE AGREED TO USE THE GENERAL PURPOSE ROOM IN EACH SCHOOL AS A CLASSROOM FOR AM AND PM SESSIONS IN SEPTEMBER 1991.
THIS WOULD PROVIDE ACCOMMODATION FOR SIX ADDITIONAL CLASSES NEXT YEAR SO THAT USING ONE OF THE FIVE RESERVED CLASSROOMS THIS YEAR FOR THE EXTRA CLASS WOULD NOT SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT THE PLACEMENT OF NEXT YEAR'S PRIMARY 1 CHILDREN FROM LONG PING ESTATE, THE NUMBER OF WHOM IS EXPECTED TO BE GREATER.
THE SPOKESMAN ENPHASISED THAT THE GENERAL POLICY IS TO PROVIDE PRIMARY SCHOOL PLACES BY DISTRICT AND NOT BY HOUSING ESTATE, AND THAT THIS POLICY WILL CONTINUE.
THIS MEANT THAT THE SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT NOW MADE ΤΟ ENABLE THOSE LONG PING CHILDREN ALLOCATED ELSEWHERE TO STUDY IN SCHOOLS IN THEIR ESTATE CANNOT BE REPEATED FOR FUTURE INTAKES ONCE ALL THE CLASSROOMS IN THAT ESTATE HAVE BEEN FULLY USED UP.
