Chapter I.-Preface.
1.-CLASSIFICATION OF SCHOOLS.
At the end of 1930 a departmental committee of the Board of Education (England) was surveying the present position of schools which have hitherto escaped the attentions both of the Board of Education and of the Local Education Authorities and it is not unlikely that the committee may recommend legislative
action to bring all schools within official control.
Similar action was taken in Hong Kong in 1913 under the Education Ordinance of that year which brought all schools into the control of the Education Department. A school was then defined as "a
'a place where ten or more persons are being habitually taught”.
Of the 1024 schools controlled by the Education Department in 1930 twenty are provided schools. The cost of their equipment and maintenance is a charge on the colonial revenues and except for a few temporary appointments the teachers are civil servants on the permanent establishment of the colony.
