Sir,
3
9th October, 1946.
53923/410.
I have the honour to refer to my telegram
No. 697 of 29th July, 1946, and to your telegram No. 774
of 28th August, 1946, and to report for your covering
approval certain amendments which have been made provisionally
to the Code covering Grants-in-Aid to English schools and to
higher grade vernacular schools in this territory.

The original Grart Code was submitted under
cover of Hong Kong despatch No. 502 of 24th December, 1940,
and approval of its introduction was given in Lord Moyne's
despatch No. 78 of 30th June, 1941. After the re-occupation
of the Colony, it became apparent that several amendments
were desirable. The amendments recommended by the Director of
Education in consultation with all interested parties are

attached as Enclosure No. 1 to this despatch. Explanatory notes
are given opposite each amendment

As it was necessary to obtain your approval of
2..
the proposals affecting the salaries of Anglo-Chinese and
vernacular teachers in grant-in-aid schools before the opening
of the new school year in September, I asked in my telegram
No. 697 of 29th July for your assent to the proposal that sections
13 and 14 of the Grant Code should be so amended as to place
these categories of teachers on the same incremental scales as
those in similar posts in Government schools. You expressed your
approval of this proposal in your telegram No. 774 of 28th August.

THE RIGHT HONOURA BLE
