HC Deb 18 June 1964 vol 696 c217W
Mr. Boyden

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many students are now taking postgraduate courses to equip them for research into education, following the intention to increase the amount of educational research; and how this number compares with 1962 and 1960.

Sir E. Boyle

I regret that the information is not available in the form requested, but the evidence points to a growing number of post-graduate students in educational research and associated studies since 1963.

Mr. Boyden

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many additional appointments in educational research have been advertised since the University Grants Committee's offer of extra grants early in 1963; and how many of these posts have been filled.

Sir E. Boyle

Eleven academic appointments have been made at the four universities concerned. One vacancy exists and candidates for the post were interviewed on 18th June.
