§ 54. Dr. Kingasked the Minister of Education to give, for the nearest convenient date, the number of children in urban areas attending all-age schools.
§ Sir D. EcclesIn January, 1954, there were 428,055 children of all ages in the all-age schools in urban areas.
§ Dr. KingWill the Minister now issue directives to urban education authorities to submit building plans to complete reorganisation of education in all-age schools in urban areas, as he has done with such excellent results in rural areas?
§ Sir D. EcclesNo, Sir. I wish I could, but at the moment we have not got the building resources to complete reorganisation in the urban areas. We shall get on to that work as soon as we can.
