training for graduate teachers.

An immediate review, and regular discussion, of present Government policy relating to the supply and professional training of teachers.

The reconstituted Board held 14 meetings and made their recommendations

and members of the public.

At the Board's request, the Education Department prepared and submitted

some 22 Papers on various topics for information and consideration. The

Board also considered papers prepared by some of its members.

A foreword in the Board's Report invites members of the public

to the Board. They are also being distributed to schools, Colleges of

Education, universities, educational and civic organisations, kaifong

associations, members of Executive, Legislative and Urban Councils as well
