HC Deb 07 December 1967 vol 755 cc360-1W
46. Mr. Will Owen

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many grammar school teachers are involved in the Teachers Exchange Scheme in the English-speaking world, giving the number of male and female teachers separately; whether he is satisfied with the working of the experiment; and if he will make a statement.

Miss Bacon

18 men and 15 women. Exchange with the Commonwealth began in 1919 and with the United States in 1924. I am satisfied that these schemes are of great value, and I know that this view is shared in the other countries concerned.
