Chow will be meeting representatives from The Lady Superior of the Society of St Maur on July 19 to discuss their plans for the school land. When asked about a proposal for the state to acquire the lands so that the schools can remain open, Chow said it can only happen if the state acquired the land and surrendered it to the Education Ministry to turn the schools into national schools.Citing speculations published in the last few days on the landowner’s plans for the school lands, Chow said that maybe they could transform the school buildings into an international or private school.
He said this is the case with partial government-funded schools, such as vernacular schools, that do not want to surrender their lands so that they have full control over the schools.
