The registration of the private schools under the Education Ordinance proceeded satisfactorily. The Ordinance has not been applied in the New Territories, where instead small subsidies were granted to 50 of the most promising schools.
A new edition of the Grant Code was published in 1914. This was necessary in order to bring it into line with the Education Ordinance.
The Code now recognises the principle that all teachers in schools must be either Certificated Teachers or Students (Passed or present) from the Normal Classes of the Technical Institute. The Upper Classes of English Schools are encouraged by Grants to take the Matriculation and Junior Local Examinations of the Hongkong University.
