EDUCATION
The government-run Hong Kong Students' Centre, formerly Hong Kong House, is a residential and social centre in London for Hong Kong students in Britain. It accommodates 77 students and serves as a focal point and meeting place for many more. In September, work began on extensive modifications to the centre. When completed, these modifications will greatly increase study and recreational space and residents' cooking facilities, boost student accommodation to 90 places, and provide additional staff accommodation and a higher standard of safety against fire. The Hong Kong Commissioner in London administers the centre and is assisted by an advisory board that includes two student representatives. The student adviser is a member of the board and, on behalf of the commissioner, is responsible for day-to- day liaison with the warden.
Hong Kong Students in Other Countries
The Overseas Students and Scholarships Section of the Education Department helps students who wish to study overseas by providing information on educational estab- lishments in Britain and other English-speaking countries.
In addition to those who went to Britain during the year, 1,858 students went to Canada for secondary or higher education, 2,719 to the United States and 249 to Australia.
