The following points are advocated in the paper: there was very little good educational software currently available, and so the UK organization MUSE (Microcomputer Users in Secondary Education) was introduced; the provision of a MUSE Software Library of software packages for access by local schools was vital; the Hong Kong Association for Computer Education had just been established and played a greater role in the development of computer education and computer-based education than the Government's Education Department; and the establishment of a specialist division within the advisory inspectorate, separate from and independent of the mathematics section, was a priority.
