(4) It has been said that if Hong Kong is to
keep its industrial boom technical education must be greatly improved. What steps are
being taken?
I do not think anybody would quarrel with
the proposition that if Hong Kong is to retain
its position in the industrial field it must
strive for greater efficiency; this means better
management and the application of more and better
technical skills.

However
The Hong Kong Government accepts that
technical education should have a high priority
and present plans include a new Technical
Institute, extensions to the Technical College
and two new Secondary Technical Schools.
We must remember, however, that education
services already take about 18% of the Colony's
annual budget. There is a severe problem of
priorities in expanding education facilities.
There is, for example, still much to do in the
field of primary education.
