HC Deb 05 March 1970 vol 797 c137W
39. Mr. Peter Archer

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what steps he proposes to take to give effect at national level to the objects and themes of International Education Year.

Miss Jennie Lee

Long term educational policy in this country is kept under continuous review, and embodies the main objects and themes of International Education Year. The enrolment of students for degrees of the Open University and the Enquiry into Adult Education under the Chairmanship of Sir Lionel Russell are particularly relevant to life-long education, which is one of the main themes which U.N.E.S.C.O. has set before the world.
