The authors report that the 30 schools, 5 Government and 25 aided, involved in a pilot scheme started its implementation in September 1982 and about 21 schools run their computer studies courses on their own budgets. The authors further report the findings of a survey that the estimated total number of students taking computer studies at the F. 4 level in 1982-83 was around 2,295; MICROSOFT BASIC was used in all the 35 schools; originally, the Education Department did not allocate any supporting staff or clerical staff to the pilot schools; 41% of the schools used textbooks published in Hong Kong, and 24% used textbooks published in the UK; the government had spent a sum of HK$1,700,000 to purchase the standard sets of equipment; and the ratio of expenditure/student was estimated by proportioning the student numbers of 929 for 22 schools to 1,267 for 30 schools, any extra equipment purchased by these schools on their own budgets
