need to provide education for locals -
left such matters in hands of
private organisations

Cantonese schools, a Hokkien school and an
English school

- colonial gvt changed attitude towards education as
gvt needed skilled individuals & ppl trained in English
to fill the positions in offices and trading companies

secondary school students to further studies in
British universities
- agreed to Asian leaders' request to set up medical
school (King Edward VII College of Medicine) on the
condition that locals raised funds
- built other institutions when pressure
was put on gvt by merchants
- however, British did not treat all schools equally - English & Malay schools received more funding than
Chinese schools (which they thought bred anti-British sentiments)
