KEY FEATURES OF THE LANGUAGE MEASURES ARE THE PROVISION OF ADDITIONAL TEACHERS OF ENGLISH AND OTHER RESOURCES, SUCH AS A GRANT FOR THE PURCHASE OF ADDITIONAL READING MATERIALS IN ENGLISH AND OF OTHER TEACHING AIDS, TO MAINTAIN AND FURTHER IMPROVE THE STANDARD OF ENGLISH IN SCHOOLS WHICH PLAN TO USE CHINESE MORE EXTENSIVELY.
ALL EXISTING CHINESE MIDDLE SCHOOLS WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR
THEY WILL ALSO BE THESE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES AUTOMATICALLY. GIVEN TO GRAMMAR SCHOOLS, TECHNICAL SCHOOLS AND PREVOCATION SCHOOLS IF THEY MAKE WIDER USE OF CHINESE.
PARENTS WILL ALSO NOTE IN THE PAMPHLET THAT SCHOOLS WILL BE ENCOURAGED TO REMOVE FROM THEIR REGISTERED NAMES ANY REFERENCE TO THE LANGUAGE MODE THEY USE IN TEACHING, SUCH AS THE TERMINOLOGY +ANGLO-CHINESE+ OR +CHINESE MIDDLE+. THIS IS ANOTHER MEASURE INTENDED TO ELIMINATE THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN ENGLISH AND CHINESE SCHOOLS.
THE PAMPHLET ALSO ADVISES PARENTS THAT THE LANGUAGE MEDIUM INDICATOR WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE HONG KONG CERTIFICATE OF EDUCATION EXAMINATION WITH EFFECT FROM 1986 AND THAT CONSIDERATION IS GIVEN TO MAKING THE HONG KONG ADVANCED LEVEL EXAMINATION AVAILABLE IN THE MEDIUM OF CHINESE.
PARENTS WHO WISH TO CONVEY THEIR VIEWS ON THE ISSUE TO SCHOOLS OR TO LEARN MORE ABOUT IT ARE ADVISED TO CONTACT DIRECTLY THE SCHOOL THAT THEIR CHILDREN ARE ATTENDING.
