with the present trend, it is necessary to strengthen and promote computer education. Furthermore, in order to cope with the long-term development,
computer education should be extended from Form I,to the matriculation
level. But before computer education is extended a sufficient supply
of well-trained teachers must be made available. Although a computer
education centre has been established as a training and resource centre
for teachers, there is only a limited admission and the duration of
the lectures as well as practical sessions are very short. Teachers
cannot learn much from the courses offered. The Government should
consider extending the duration and increasing the chances of training
for teachers in computer education and attracting university graduates
in computer studies to the teaching profession. Only in this way, can there be sufficient teachers to popularise the use of computers
and to train more capable personnel to meet the demands

the standard of Chinese language teaching in our secondary schools, we

seminars. In view of this, the Education Commission recommended in its Report No. 1 in October, 1984, that an additional graduate teacher of Chinese be provided to every secondary school with aighten classes or more starting from September, 1988. In August, 1986, the Commission again recommended in its Report No. 2/ that for those secondary schools in the public sector with fewer than eighteen classes, an additional half non-graduate post for a teacher of Chinese will be provided starting from September, 1986.
