§ Mr. Hannanasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many education authorities employ advisers on social education; whether these are statutory posts; and what is the nature of their duties.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellThe Schools (Scotland) Code, 1956, requires education authorities to appoint women advisers in certain of their secondary schools. In addition many authorities have appointed teachers to other posts in schools concerned with the curricular, personal and vocational guidance of pupils.
Two education authorities employ advisers centrally to promote the development of social education with particular reference to pupil guidance; these appointments are not statutory.
