HC Deb 21 June 1979 vol 968 c639W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what action he intends taking to increase the courses available in secondary schools in computer science, especially on the engineering side.

Dr. Boyson

The number of pupils receiving tuition in some form of computer studies in their fourth and fifth years of secondary schooling has increased significantly in recent years. The balance and breadth of the curriculum in schools, however, remains a matter for individual local education authorities and the schools themselves.
