IN THE LONG RUN, SHE SAID SHE FELT THAT GOVERNMENT SHOULD CAREFULLY WORK OUT HOW TO PROVIDE A COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL COUNSELLING SERVICE IN A MORE EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE WAY.
MRS TAM ALSO POINTED OUT THAT OUTREACHING SOCIAL WORK WAS ANOTHER IMPORTANT AREA OF PERSONAL SOCIAL WORK FOR THE YOUNG.
SHE SAID THAT THE NUMBER OF OUTREACHING TEAMS HAD REMAINED AT 18 SINCE 1979 WHICH MEANT THAT MANY NEW TOWNS WERE DEPRIVED OF SUCH A SERVICE TO HELP THOSE WHO MIGHT HAVE PROBLEMS.
MRS TAM SAID THAT WITH HER OVER TEN YEARS EXPERIENCE IN YOUTH SERVICES, SHE DEEPLY APPRECIATED THE WORK OF OUTREACHING SOCIAL WORKERS AND URGED GOVERNMENT TO FULFIL ITS PROMISE TO FULLY DEVELOP THE SERVICE AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE.
SHE SUGGESTED THAT GOVERNMENT COULD SET UP SPECIAL COUNSELLING CENTRES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AT DISTRICT LEVEL TO PROVIDE COUNSELLING SERVICE TO THOSE IN NEED DIRECTLY.
MRS TAM SAID THAT GOVERNMENT SHOULD CONDUCT A STUDY ON THE CAUSES OF JUVENILE DELINQUENCY SOON TO FORMULATE AN EFFECTIVE STRATEGY TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM.
POSTGRADUATE ROLE URGED FOR THIRD UNIVERSITY

DR TSE WAS EXAMINING THE UNIQUE MISSION+ OF THE THIRD UNIVERSITY WHEN SPEAKING IN THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL DURING THE SECOND DAY OF THE DEBATE ON THE GOVERNOR'S ADDRESS.
HE SAID IT WOULD CERTAINLY BE UNREALISTIC TO LIMIT THE NEW UNIVERSITY TO PROVIDING ONLY COURSES THAT WERE NOT BEING OFFERED ELSEWHERE IN HONG KONG BECAUSE THERE WERE SIMPLY NOT ENOUGH ACADEMIC AREAS LEFT THAT THE NEW UNIVERSITY COULD BUILD ON.
DEVELOPING THE THIRD UNIVERSITY AS A GROUPING OF PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS IN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND BUSINESS STUDIES WOULD NOT BE SUFFICIENT TO MAKE IT UNIQUE, DR TSE ADDED.
