EDUCATION DEPARTMENT, HONGKONG, 20th February, 1883.

SIR, I have the honour to forward herewith the Annual Report on Education and the Blue Book returns for 1882.

2. The total number of Schools subject to supervision by the Government amounted in the year 1882 to 80, as compared with 72 in 1881, 63 in 1880, 53 in 1879 and 47 in 1878. The total number of scholars enrolled during the year 1882 in Schools, subject to supervision and annual examination by the Government, amounted to 5182 as compared with 4372 enrolled in 1881, 3886 in 1880, 3460 in 1879, and 3152 in 1878. It is evident, therefore, that the number of Schools and the number of scholars, subject to Government supervision and examination, is steadily increasing from year to year. The annual increase of scholars in such Schools amounted in 1879 to 308 scholars, in 1880 to 426 scholars, in 1881 to 686 scholars and in 1882 to 810 scholars.

3. These Schools, subject to Government supervision and examination, may roughly be divided into two classes, viz, secular (Government) Schools and denominational (Missionary) Schools. The secular schools are under the entire control of the Government and supported, in one way or other, by fixed monthly payments, whilst the denominational (Missionary) Schools are under Government inspection throughout the year and annually subsidized by the Government on the basis of definite results, in fixed subjects, ascertained in each case through the annual examination of each individual scholar by the Inspector of Schools. Referring to the former of these two classes of Schools, I find that we had in 1882 in 39 Government Schools 2114 scholars, as compared with 1986 scholars in 1881, 2078 scholars in 1880, 2043 scholars in 1879 and 2101 scholars in 1878, which figures show a hardly appreciable increase of scholars. The explanation lies in this that in all these Government Schools all available space is crowded, and in the case of the Central School overcrowded, with scholars, the accommodation being entirely inadequate to meet the demand. As regards denominational (Missionary) Schools, we had in 1882 on the rolls of 41 Schools 3068 scholars, as compared with 2237 scholars in 1881, 1801 scholars in 1880, 1417 scholars in 1879, and 1051 scholars in 1878, which figures show, from year to year, a steady increase of scholars attending these denominational (Missionary) Schools.
