There are also 659 other private schools subject to registration and inspection but receiving no financial assistance from funds at the disposal of the Director of Education. A "school" is defined in the Education Ordinance as "a place where ten or more persons are habitually taught." All such institutions fall within the control of the Education Department.
2.-GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS
These are either schools where the medium of instruction is English or for the most part English, or schools where the medium of instruction is Chinese.
Of four Government English Schools, usually classed as secondary schools, three have primary departments and eight classes take the pupils from the first steps in English to the Matriculation and Senior Local Examinations of the University of Hong Kong, either of which constitutes the leaving certificate of these schools.
The twelve primary schools fall into two groups—four mixed schools being preparatory for the Central British School, which has no primary department, and eight "District" and Lower Grade schools, one of which is a school for Indians where Urdu takes the place of Chinese.
In those English schools which are attended by Chinese, usually known as Anglo-Chinese schools, the study of English and Chinese is carried on side by side, the pari passu system requiring that promotion shall depend on proficiency in both languages.
The Technical Institute, an evening school for adults, which is classed in Tables 1 and 2 as "vocational", is attended by persons desirous of receiving instruction in subjects for the most part germane to their daytime occupations.
Of the remaining Government schools, the Vernacular Middle School, which has a Normal department for the training of Vernacular Teachers, is classed as a secondary school. There is also a Normal School for the training of Vernacular Women Teachers and a Normal School on the mainland which aims at providing Vernacular teachers for rural schools.
