The spokesman said the 18 per cent target cost recovery for fees for courses in the HKIEd was in line with the established policy of 18 per cent cost recovery for fees for courses in institutions funded by the University and Polytechnic Grants Committee.
"The objective is to strike a reasonable balance between students and the community in sharing the costs of tertiary and teacher education.
"Despite our seeking a larger contribution from those who can afford to pay, education always remains our largest expenditure item and we are still providing heavy Government subsidy to tertiary and teacher education," he said.
It is estimated that the new fee for 1995/96 represents 7.1 per cent cost recovery rate.

Operation against unlicensed guesthouses
The Home Affairs Department, in a joint operation with the Police, yesterday (Tuesday) inspected seven suspected unlicensed guesthouses in a bid to crack down on illegal premises in Tsim Sha Tsui.
A man and a woman were arrested and will be served with summonses alleging that they operated unlicensed guesthouses contrary to section 5 of the Hotel and Guesthouse Accommodation Ordinance.
The two were released on police bail.
Assistant Director of Home Affairs Mr Tim Stephenson believed that the result of the operation would send a clear message to the trade that guesthouses operating unlawfully would not be tolerated.
