Tertiary and further education
9. a) In the course of the present quadrennium ending
1978, enrolment in the two Universities will have
increased from 6352 to 8860 (all are heavily sub-
sidised, and provision for loans or free places is
made to ensure that none are denied through lack of
means). In the following quadrennium continuing
expansion is envisaged, though the exact targets
will depend on the advice of the University and
Polytechnic Grants Committee yet to be received;
in the course of it a second medical school will be
opened in the Chinese University and a dental
school in the Hong Kong University, and planning
for both is starting this year.
b) The Hong Kong Polytechnic (a new institution)
will have increased from 1834 equivalent full-time
students in September 1972, largely taken over from
the Technical College which formed its nucleus, to
9,800 by '77/78: and it is expected to build up
to 12,400 by '79/80.
