EDUCATION AND WELFARE INSTITUTIONS.

Schools.

Schools in Hong Kong may be divided into two categories:

(1) English schools in which the principal medium of instruction is the

English language.

(2) Vernacular schools in which the principal medium of instruction is the

Chinese language.

In each category there are three classes of schools:

(a) Government schools entirely maintained by public funds.

(b) Assisted schools to which Government makes financial contributions which are called grants in the case of English and higher grade vernacular schools, and subsidies in the case of other vernacular schools.

(c) Unassisted schools which are run without any financial contributions

from Government,

One new Government institution was opened in 1939, namely the Teachers Training College which is training teachers for English and vernacular urban schools. There were 48 students in training at the end of the year. The College provides a two-years course, and is housed in temporary quarters pending the construction of a new building.
