This Codes of Aid prescribe the rules and conditions in accordance with

which the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region
provides grants to such schools as may be approved for this purpose by
the Permanent Secretary for Education and Manpower. There is a

separate Code for primary, secondary, and special schools (including
practical schools and skills opportunity schools). A principal of an aided
school must be thoroughly familiar with the respective Code and the
Guidelines and Forms related to Codes of Aid for Aided Primary,

Secondary and Special Schools.

Apart from the Education Ordinance and its subsidiary legislation, all

aided schools must comply with the provisions of the respective Code
of Aid and such instructions as the Permanent Secretary may from time
to time issue. While there is not likely to be a criminal sanction if there
is a failure to comply with the Code, funding and administration could

be affected and a Principal will need to be thoroughly familiar with the
relevant Code of Aid.
