香港立法局———————— 一九八九年一月十八日

needs to consult outside bodies and other bodies within the Government, but our aim, I think, would be to try to have the proposals ready in time for the new school year.

林貝聿嘉議員問:政府可否告知本局,會否考慮津貼全日制小學學生的膳食費?

SECRETARY FOR EDUCATION AND MANPOWER: Sir, I will pass this suggestion on to the director for him to consider.

MRS. CHOW: Sir, I do not think the Secretary has answered the first part of my supplementary question, which was: "When is the study referred to on whole- day school expected to be completed"? If we are not careful we are going to be bogged down with studies with open-ended schedules.

SECRETARY FOR EDUCATION AND MANPOWER: Sir, I would hope that it could be completed within the next two or three months.

鄭德健議員問:主席先生,質施全日制的小學需要增加教師去處理學生的輔導和課外活動等工作 ,而政府在這方面會否考慮增加小學教師的人數,從目前每班1.1個教師增至每班1.3個教 師,與全日制的中學教師的比率看齊?

SECRETARY FOR EDUCATION AND MANPOWER: Sir, I will pass this suggestion on to the director for him to consider.

MRS. TU: Sir, in view of the many complaints made by estate residents about the slow speed of maintenance on their premises in the estates, would the Secretary for Education and Manpower give an assurance that the maintenance would be speeded up rather than slowed down by handing it over to the Housing Department?

SECRETARY FOR EDUCATION AND MANPOWER: Sir, I am afraid I was not aware that there were complaints about the speed of maintenance in housing estates. I will certainly mention Mrs. TU's enquiry to the director and ask him to consider the matter.
