school expansion programme described in this Chapter will enable many more students to have a senior secondary education in the public sector, where fees are lower and where fee remission arrangements are available.
4.20 The standard fee in Forms IV-V will be increased by two stages to $600 per annum and the standard fee in Form VI will be increased by two stages to $800 per annum ;these increases will begin in September 1979. At the same time, non-standard secondary school fees (which apply mainly to schools in the New Territories) will be aligned by four stages with standard fees. Most secondary schools in the New Territories are located in the main urban areas. The Director of Education believes that the Government and aided secondary schools in the New Territories are of equal standard to those in Hong Kong and Kowloon, and it is his aim to maintain this equality. Accordingly, a lower level of fees in schools in the New Territories is no longer justified.

The levels of standard and non-standard school fees will thus be:-
