School Management Committees

Each school registered under the Education Ordinance has a management
committee which is responsible for the education of the pupils and proper
operation of the school.

Each aided primary or secondary school is operated under a letter of
agreement with a sponsoring body, which contributes the full cost of
furnishing and equipping the premises and manages the school through its
management committee headed by a supervisor. In the 1997-98 school
year, 1 042 aided schools were in the care of 448 sponsoring bodies, the
largest of which operated 112 schools.
