HC Deb 05 May 1959 vol 605 cc203-4
10. Mr. J. Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the local committee on educational problems in Zanzibar under the chairmanship of the Chief Secretary, Mr. P. A. P. Robertson, has yet issued its Report; and what consideration this has been given by the British Resident.

Mr. J. Amery

Yes, Sir. The Report, which was laid before the Legislative Council on 18th March, is now being considered in Zanzibar. I have placed copies in the Library.

Mr. Johnson

While welcoming in the Report the fact that there will be a new secondary school—the first secondary school—for Zanzibar, may I ask the Under-Secretary to push forward the scheme for the further expansion of teacher training in Zanzibar, and the improvement of the whole status of secondary education for African boys and girls in the island?

Mr. Amery

I will certainly note what the hon. Member has said.
