EDUCATION AND WELFARE INSTITUTIONS.
Schools.
Education in Hong Kong is voluntary and is mainly in the hands of Government and of missionary bodies.
The present system may be said to have started in 1913 when the Education Ordinance, requiring all non-Government Schools (unless specifically exempted) to register and to conform to certain regulations, came into operation. The Director of Education derives his legal powers from this Ordinance. Since 1920 he has been advised by a Board of Education of which he is ex officio chairman. This board is appointed by the Governor and at present consists of eleven unofficial members together with the Senior Inspectors of English and Vernacular Schools.
The Schools in the Colony may be classified as follows:-
(1) Government Schools which are staffed and maintained by the Education Department.
(2) Grant Schools, i.e. schools, run mainly by missionary bodies, which are in receipt of a grant from Government under the provisions of the Grant Code.
(3) Subsidized Schools, i.e. vernacular schools which are in receipt of a subsidy from Government.
(4) The Military Schools and certain others which are exempted from the provisions of the Education Ordinance, 1913.
(5) All other Private Schools.
