Subject: Access to Information request - Statistics on "Knowing More About
IT" Programme

Dear Education Bureau,

Please provide records and statistical summaries under the Code on Access
to Information regarding the "Knowing More About IT" Programme for primary
schools, covering the period from the 2021/22 school year to August 31,
2026 (including final audits concluded by March 31, 2027):

1. Approved Student Activities (P1 to P6):
Breakdowns of approved IT activities, specifically the proportion
dedicated to AI/machine learning, robotics, IoT, and mobile app
development.

2. Funding & Unspent Balances:
Audit data on how primary schools split funding between operating grants
and upfront equipment grants, plus the total unspent funds or clawbacks
returned after programme closure.

3. AI Kits & Hardware Purchases:
Itemized summaries of AI kits and specialized tools purchased using the
equipment reference list (e.g., AI development kits, voice recognition
kits, vision-sensor robots, and AI cloud platforms).

I look forward to your response within the statutory timeframe.

Yours faithfully,
Y. L. Sherpa
