ABSTRACT
Schools are insufficient in Hong Kong and a number of children will probably never enter a proper school. Secondary schools are few, at least good ones; only between 5 to 10 per cent of the children in primary schools get places in government or government-aided secondary schools and the possibilities for getting through to University are minimal itl most other schools. The sellool fees in the middle schools are from $300 to $500 per year with about 30 per cent free places. The cost of a University education is around $4,000-5,000 per annum, with probably about I 5 per cent free places through scholarships and bursaries; actually more than one-third of the undergraduates are in receipt of grants-but not full grants.
