§ 82. Mr. J. Johnsonasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what steps he is taking to ensure that there will be adequate numbers of teachers being trained for African secondary education in Kenya.
§ Mr. ProfumoThe policy is to recruit teachers locally, so far as possible, from among graduates at Makerere. The supply of suitable students to Makerere is limited only by the number academically94W qualified for entry; their tuition and residence costs are fully supported by the Kenya Government. Unfortunately, however, the competition among employers for Makere graduates is so fierce that the Kenya Government are not able to fill more than a proportion of their teacher vacancies with African graduates and the remainder have to be filled by recruitment overseas.
