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 The subsidy was accordingly withdrawn from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
students to take part in such activities.
