+ IT IS INTENDED THEREFORE THAT THOSE INVITED TO CARRY OUT THIS MAJOR REVIEW SHOULD INCLUDE PERSONS FROM ABROAD WITH EXPERTISE AND EXPERIENCE IN EDUCATION IN ADDITION TO LOCAL PARTICIPATIONS THIS IS TO ENSURE THAT OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM IS UP-TO-DATE, THAT IT MAY TAKE ITS PROPER, AND IMPORTANT, PLACE IN THE WORLD OF EDUCATION.

+PERHAPS, THE IDEA OF BEING INTERNATIONALLY ACCEPTED AND ACCLAIMED UNDER THE LABEL 'EDUCATED IN HONG KONG IS MORE REAL THAN SOME MAY THINK,+ SIR JACK SAID.

ADDRESSING THE GIRLS AT THE SCHOOL, SIR JACK SAID THERE WAS A TIME WHEN ONE COULD GENERALLY BE CATEGORISED AS EITHER A LEADER OR A FOLLOWER BUT NOW WE HAD TO BE PREPARED TO BE BOTH.
