§ Mr. Ashleyasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether a deaf British student who gained a Master's Degree from Gallaudet College, Washington, United States of America, and certification by the Council on Education of the Deaf, and was thus qualified to teach in the United States of America, would be allowed to teach in British schools.

§ Miss Margaret JacksonThe qualification would meet the statutory requirements for teaching in maintained primary and secondary schools and in special schools in England and Wales if the course leading to it was comparable with one which at the time the student would have had to undertake in the United Kingdom in order to teach in these schools. As, however, in the United States of America the nature of courses of study within the same establishment and leading to the same qualification can vary materially from student to student, the acceptability of a qualification gained in that country has to be decided individually for each student.
§ Mr. Ashleyasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many British students there have been at Gallaudet College in the last decade.
