CONFIDENTIAL

With class sizes reduced and the size of the standard classroom being

maintained, there will be little danger of overcrowding in public-sector primary

schools. However, it will still be necessary, for reasons of safety and health,

to retain the space requirements currently in force, to protect children attending

schools in the private sector (see Appendix 1).

The Government intends to build two or three new government primary

schools in selected areas where there is a demand for places. A final decision

on building more government schools will be taken after this pilot project has

been evaluated.
