Notes: (1) Based on the 1979 Population Projection which assumes that the level of legal and illegal
immigration from China will taper off in 1981.
(2) Provision is based on the Primary School Building Programme (July 1981)
(3) Provision in operating classes in 1980/81 is the actual number of classes opened in
September 1980. In estimating the number of operating places in 1981/82 to 1985/86 allowance has been made for children immigrated from China, who are likely to
enter primary schools after September 1980. Places in special classes are excluded. Delays in completion and reduction in numbers are underlined in red while the advancement of project comletion and increases in numbers are underlined in green.
