§ 13. Mr. Ralph Morleyasked the Minister of Education what plans she has for increasing the supply of qualified women teachers.
§ Miss HorsbrughPresent training policies aim at a net increase in the number of qualified women teachers of about 2,500 a year, but it is impossible 1694 to be precise, because one cannot be sure how many teachers will leave the service each year.
§ Mr. MorleyWill the Minister encourage children to stay longer at the grammar schools so that the potential source of supply of women teachers is likely to increase?
§ Miss HorsbrughWe all agree with taking steps to induce the parents of the children to make the fullest possible use of the educational services.
