5. More detailed descriptions of the application of the money
areappended.
6. The expenditure would be phased over the period up to the
end of 1977 although expenditure on books might possibly take
somewhat longer.
7. There is no doubt that the Polytechnic is a growing and
effective institution for further education nor that the Hong
Kong Education Department is competent to apply this amount of
money in a rational and effective way. Our Education Advisers
will in any event be in touch with progress and we are confident
that they will be able to bring their advice to bear on the way
the money is spent.
8. As stated at the beginning this expenditure is itself unusual
but we are concerned with the application of money which was
promised by a Minister for a specific purpose and all that we can
really be concerned with is that the money is applied to that
purpose in the most effective way. We are confident that the
proposals which have emerged from visits by our own Education
Advisers and TETOC Advisers will secure this.
9. The formal endorsement of the Committee is therefore now
sought.
