Supplementary to Question No. 9 in the Legislative Council on 6 February 1985

Mrs. Chow:- Sir, how many of the reduced classes belong to the more satisfactory

private schools and why can't these places be bought by Government so as to

increase the number of subsidised Form IV and V places thereby increasing the

overall provision for JSEA allocation?

Therefore

Director of Education:- Sir, of the reduction in the number of classes in Forms

I to III, practically all of these classes are of an inferior quality.

the Government does not consider it justified to buy places from these schools

to phase out the JSEA.
