The other increases in staff are required to meet the continuing expansion of the facilities of the Department.

The additional posts and normal increments have increased the provision for Personal Emoluments to $48,982,900 which is some $6.4 millions more than the amount approved for 1961-62.

The net increase under Other Charges Annually Recurrent is $1,002,100. This reflects the continuing expansion of educational facilities and is mainly accounted for by increased provision for Evening Classes, Allowances and Bonuses to Teachers in Training, Scholarships and Bursaries for Chinese Post- Secondary Schools, Scholarships and Bursaries-Hong Kong University, Examinations and administrative expenses arising from these increases.
