Having taken into account the advice of the Education

panel, the Executive Council decided that, with effect from

1 October 1986, recreational trips should cease

subsidised. The subsidy was accordingly withdrawn from

journeys made on Sundays and in the major school holidays.

During the most recent review of the scheme, We

consulted the OMELCO Education Panel, the Board of Education,

six secondary school councils and representatives of

representatives of the Hong

Kong Federation of Students. On this occasion, these were felt

to be the most appropriate bodies to consult since the purpose

of the review was to relate the scheme more closely to strictly

ک

educational needs. The decision not to subsidige recreational

travel had already been taken in 1986.

Nevertheless, we do recognise the importance of

extra-curricular activities in the education of our young

people, and the new scheme will include in the subsidy a

provision for four additional trips each week
