HC Deb 17 July 1969 vol 787 c141W
24. Mr. Anderson

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if his Department will provide additional assistance to the Central Bureau for Educational Visits and Exchanges in order that they may arrange for an increase in the present total of 30 British teachers to teach in the countries of the European Economic Community during the coming academic year.

Miss Jennie Lee

There is no quota system. It is open to the Central Bureau for Educational Visits and Exchanges to arrange as many teacher exchanges with European countries as possible. The Department will make a small grant to offset the effect of the 1967 devaluation to all teachers retaining their salary while on exchange.
