5.27 The Technical Training Board conducted a series of lectures attended by Surveying Assistants (Building) Class III and at the annual examination conducted by the Board, out of 12 candidates who sat, 4 were successful and were subsequently posted within the Office in positions which will give them practical experience.
5.28 The training of the professional stream of officers who are preparing for examinations of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors is supervised by the Professional Training Board which consists of a panel of experienced Chartered Surveyors. This year the Board has enabled the students to gain valuable experience by arranging practical tasks, site visits, lectures, examinations and their secondment to other sub-departments. The results of the 1971 examinations were disappointing as out of 7 students who sat for the Final Examination only 1 passed whilst only 1 student sat and passed the Intermediate Examination. A new examination syllabus had been introduced, for which there was no previous guide as to the form or standard of questions, so the results were not entirely unexpected and it is hoped from the experience gained that the 12 students now under training will have more success in 1972, although with the Hong Kong Technical College being unable to arrange adequate part-time day-release courses for these examinations the students have had to rely heavily on individual study under the general guidance of the Board. The four students who passed the Final Examination held in 1970 were promoted during the year to the professional grade of Building Surveyor.

5.29 Staff enthusiasm for the annual P.W.D. Sports Day events was considerable and duly rewarded in achieving the Hockey and Golf Championships, receiving the bronze medal for Tug-of-war and Darts and being runners-up in Squash. On Sports Day itself the Office finished in second place overall, which was considered to be a creditable achievement.
