REPORT BY THE DIRECTOR OF THE TECHNICAL INSTITUTE, 1922
(Table VIII)
The Institute was open as usual during 8 months of the year.
The number of students in attendance during the Session ending June 30th was 495 against 583 in 1921.
At the end of the Session, Examinations were conducted as in previous years by independent examiners. 164 students were examined; 91 passed in one subject, 2 in two subjects; a total of 93 students or 56% passed. The low percentage of passes is due in part to the high standard required in the Teachers' Classes, especially those for Vernacular Teachers; the standard is raised gradually year by year in these Classes, the benefits being apparent eventually in the improved teaching in the schools to which the members belong. At the June Examination referred to 47 Teachers' Certificates, including 4 with Distinction, were awarded (59 in 1921). Of these, 14 were given for Third Year work in English and 4 for the same in Chinese, and were in the nature of final Certificates, marking the completion of the Course. The average attendance at the English Teachers' Classes was 26, and at the Vernacular Teachers' Classes 78.
The Examination results in Building Construction, Chemistry, French, Shorthand, and in two of the six Sections of the "English Teachers' Classes were excellent. Good work was done also in Steam, Physics, English and Book-keeping.
The Vernacular Teachers' Classes are now under the direct supervision of Mr. Ng Fung-chau. The Rev. H. R. Wells and Mr. Y. P. Law, B.A., who examined the Classes reported that the work done was very satisfactory.
