The spokesman disclosed that there were four other government
schools now included in the current public works building programme, while
five subsidised schools were in the planning stage or under consideration.
In addition, the Shau Kei Wan Government Secondary Technical
School will soon be expanded to provide additional facilities. This will1
bring the school up to the standards normally applied to secondary technical
schools in the public sector, and it will also be able to provide courses
at Form 6 level.
While appealing to voluntary and religious organisations to build
more schools, the spokesman stressed the importance of secondary technical
education, and the role that this type of school plays in the preparation
of students for life in modern Hong Kong.
One advantage is that they combine a sound general education with
the opportunity to engage in work and activities of a more practical nature,
The students are selected through the Secondary School Entrance
Examination and the schools offer a five-year secondary education up to
Certificate of Education level.
In addition to most of the general subjects found in grammar
schools, they provide technical subjects like metal work, wood work,
practical electricity, technical drawing for boys, and domestic and commercial
subjects for girls.
