school in receipt of aid under the terms of any of the codes is required

to be managed and conducted in accordance with the provisions of the

Education Ordinance and of subsidiary legislation made under that

Ordinance and in compliance with the provisions of the code of aid and

such instructions concerning aided schools as the Director may from time

depending on the category or level of school, and covers both recurrent

and non-recurrent grants. The codes of aid specify such matters as

staffing standards and entitlements, salary scales, allowances and

conditions of service and include an administrative guide in addition

to detailed procedures for financial control. (Further details are

given in chapter 5 on the financing of education.)

As noted above, institutions registered by the Director under

the Post Secondary Colleges Ordinance as Approved Post Secondary Colleges

enjoy a markedly greater degree of control over their own affairs than

do schools: this is in keeping with their status both as tertiary

institutions and as private institutions. Under subsidiary legislation

the constitution of these colleges must include a Board of Governors

(the governing body of the college), a College Council (the executive

body, administering the property and managing the general affairs of

the college), an Academic Board (regulating academic affairs, subject to

the financial control of the College Council) and a Faculty Board for

each faculty (responsible to the Academic Board for the teaching and

general organisation of the courses assigned to the faculty).

Regulations stipulate that certain officers must be appointed (the

principal academic and administrative officer being the President);

the Regulations deal with such matters as authority for the appointment

qualifications of teachers; the state of college premises; health

requirements; and admission of students.
