PO LEUNG KUK ADDS TO SCHOOL PLACES

****

THE PO LEUNG KUK YAO LING SUN COLLEGE WILL PROVIDE A WELCOME EXPANSION OF EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES IN TSUEN WAN, LADY AKERS- JONES,

WIFE OF THE CHIEF SECRETARY, SAID TODAY, WHEN SHE OFFICIALLY OPENED THE SCHOOL.

NOTING THAT THE PO LEUNG KUK WAS NOW PROVIDING SOME 20 000 PLACES IN A GROUP OF KINDERGARTENS, PRIMARY, SECONDARY AND SPECIAL SCHOOLS, LADY AKERS-JONES SAID THE NEW SCHOOL WOULD MAKE A WORTHY ADDITION TO THIS FINE GROUP+.

+THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES IN HONG KONG OVER THE YEARS HAS BEEN THE RESULT OF CO-OPERATION BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT VOLUNTARY ORGANISATIONS AND PUBLIC-SPIRITED INDIVIDUALS, SHE SAID.

+THIS SCHOOL IS ITSELF A RESULT OF THIS TRADITION,

SHE ALSO PAID TRIBUTE TO THE PO LEUNG KUK FOR PROVIDING OUTSTANDING COMMUNITY SERVICE SINCE 1878, ESPECIALLY IN THE CARE AND EDUCATION OF THE YOUNG.
