§ Colonel DAYasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether missionary schools in East Africa are open to inspection by Government inspectors; if so, how many such inspectors are employed; and will he consider the advisability of the direct provision of Government-trained teachers, in order to improve the standard of those employed in East African elementary schools?
§ Mr. AMERYThe reply to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. Inspection is carried out either by special educational inspectors where these exist or otherwise by the directors of education and members of their staffs. In most of the Dependencies some facilities for providing Government-trained teachers are already available.
