§ Mr. Gristasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what further examination he has made of the successful United States practice of employing deaf persons as teachers of the deaf.
§ Miss Margaret JacksonIn the United States, but not in this coutnry, it is accepted that some teachers of the deaf should communicate with the children solely by manual methods and teachers of these children do not necessarily have to have the status of qualified teacher. On the situation in this country, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply I 137W gave to the hon. Member for Sevenoaks (Sir J. Rodgers) on 2nd April.—[Vol. 908, c. 612.]
