HC Deb 12 May 1927 vol 206 c562
12. Mr. HARRIS (for Mr. COWAN)

asked the President of the Board of Education whether he is aware that difficulty has been experienced in the placing in schools of trained teachers, mainly graduates with honours degrees, owing to the over-supply of specialist teachers in some subjects and the under-supply of such teachers in other subjects; and whether the Board have considered the advisability of conferring with the universities and training college authorities, with a view to some guidance being given as to the requirements of the schools in the matter of specialist teachers?

Lord E. PERCY

I think that this is a matter which can safely be left to the training college authorities, who are familiar with the various aspects of the problem.
