This has reflected the status of the

Legislative Council in the minds of the Government. Is this trivial, OF is this vital? There are some who repeatedly

Finally, from a more comprehensive point of view, I would like

puvision to say something about the educational okpenditure proposed in the Budget. In recent years, the Government has been actively

developing our tertiary education. Almost immediately after

the establishment of our City Polytechnic and the University

said of Science and Technology, the Government has set about the Setting up

creation of an open university. All these should be welcome.

the quality of the nine-year free education.<

The nine-year free education system has been implemented forro ten years: . Since it was rushed into implementation, without

caroful planning and proper co-ordination, more and more

problems were exposed throughout the years. IS it not the

remedie time now to allocate more resources, to sav

resources, to cave the situation?

The nine-year free education forms the foundation of

entire education system. Without a firm foundation, even the

most majestic and impressive superstructure would topple.
