34. Mr. A. R. Sutherland acted as Secretary during the year.
35. Recommendations by the Board that the School Year be changed and that the Senior and Junior Local Examinations be abolished and a School Leaving Certificate substituted therefor were approved and will be fully effective in 1935.
36. During 1933 a Senior Local Examination but no Junior Local Examination will be held.
37. In 1934 the School Year will be changed but no public Examination will be conducted.
38. In June 1935 the Hong Kong University will conduct the School Leaving Certificate for the first time.
39. Several amendments of, and additions to, the Regulations for the Control and Supervision of Schools under Section 12 of the Education Ordinance of 1913, were recommended by the Board and were approved by Government.
PROVIDED SCHOOLS-BRITISH.
40. The total number of children enrolled in these four schools was 519 as compared with 515 in 1931.
41. The usual meetings of the teachers in charge of British Schools were held in 1932.
42. Victoria British School was closed at the end of 1931. While it was possible to do this owing to the proximity of a similar provided school for young children at Quarry Bay, the two schools in Kowloon have had difficulty in finding accommodation for all who deserve admission. The increasing number of British children resident in the peninsula and the growing tendency among parents to have their children educated in the Colony instead of sending them to Europe has already strained the accommodation in these two schools and it is hoped that circumstances will allow the new Central British School to be erected at an early date.
