School Improvement Works

44. Under the School Improvement Programme, upgrading works have been completed at 360 of around 800 target schools, while works are progressing at more than 150 other schools. We will step up the pace with a view to completing all approved projects by the 2004-2005 school year.

45. The five-year strategy on information technology in education announced in late-1998 has been implemented progressively to cope with the development of the knowledge-based economy. All schools now have computers and Internet access. A one-stop online teaching and learning platform has been provided. Students are better equipped to step into the knowledge-based economy.
