A The Government does not can- sider that the appointment of such a committee is called for as there already exists in the Boar of Education a body, which is co, pet. ant to advise on matters connected

In October, 1950, the Board was with education in the Celony,

invited to review the existing sys- tem of education and to make commendations in respect of future policy. Several of its recommenda tions have already been put into operation and others will be adopt. ed shortly..

The recommendations deal with such mattern as the distribution of funds provided for educational purposes syllabuses English and Chineso, the possibility of improv ing the opportunities of the child- ren in private schools, the school medical service, the difficult ques- tion of the extent to which public funds should be made available for other than vernacular education, the University Luen Examinations, and the training of teachers, and in fact constitute just such an overhaul of the existing system as appears to be contemplated by the Honourable Member.
