§ Mr. Mossasked the Minister of Education by what methods he makes known to local education authorities experiments which are intended to eliminate selection at 10-plus; and to what extent he makes known to them any tentative conclusions which may be reached.
§ Sir E. BoyleMy right hon. Friend is sure that most local education authorities are well aware of the limited experiment now being conducted in this field, but considers that it is too early to form any conclusions on it.
§ Mr. Mossasked the Minister of Education (1) whether he will state any interim conclusions on the experiments being conducted in the Hinckley and Oadby/Wigston areas of Leicestershire, where progress at no stage depends upon a selective examination;
(2) what so far has been the effect upon primary education of the elimination at 10-plus in the Hinckley and Oadby/Wigston areas of Leicestershire.
§ Sir E. BoyleIt is too soon to reach any conclusions on this experiment.
