Subsidized Schools. Of the 101 Subsidized Schools existing at the end of 1927, 7 were removed to the Non-Subsidy List and 14 closed. But, during the year, 21 schools were newly subsidized, thus making the number at the end of the year to be again 101. As in the previous year, a number of schools received Special Subsidies, while others were awarded the ordinary subsidies at the rates of $15, $10 and $5 per month in accordance with their merits. The Saikung Roman Catholic Mission English School has closed for lack of a sufficient number of students. The amount of subsidies paid totalled $12,985, working out to be $3.67 per pupil; the latter figure has been almost exactly the same for the last 3 years.
Non-Subsidized Schools.-45 schools were newly opened, and 34 closed, including 3 which were struck off the register, on the ground of inefficiency. 21 schools having been transferred to, and 7 transferred from the Subsidy List, the number of Schools on this list at the end of the year is 81.
Attendance. The Maximum Enrolment in Subsidized Schools was 3,538 including 358 girls. (3,462 with 387 girls in 1927), and the Average Attendance was 2,886, (2,767 in 1927). The number in Non-Subsidized Schools was 1,752 including 159 girls (1,913 with 141 girls in 1927), and the Average Attendance was 1,363 (1,439 in 1927).
Free Scholarships.-The number of Free Scholars admitted from Vernacular Subsidized Schools to Government English Schools were: 8 to Taipo School, 3 to Un Long School, 3 to Cheung Chau School, 3 to Yaumati School (from Sha Tin District) and 5 to King's College (from Tsuen Wan).
