dedicated few will wish to attend a communist school. If, however the provision.

of better facilities takes too long the communist educational system in the

Colony may develop an impetus which will be very hard to stop. (paras. 75-78)

RECOMMENDATIONS

85.

Action in the form of warning letters, visits and finally prosecution

should be taken against communist schools which persistently evade the require-

ments of the Education Ordinance with regard to excess pupils and unregistereá

teachers.

87.

Action should be taken against unregistered schools with a view to

forcing them to meet the requirements of the Education Ordinance, or cloce down.

88.

A substantial and continuing publicity campaign should be mounted

to publicise the advantages of non-communist schools and the inadequacies of

communist schools.
