§ Colonel DAYasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the nationality of the head master of the Indian high schools at Nairobi and Mombasa; and why these posts were not offered to Indians?
§ Mr. AMERYThe appointment of head master of the Indian school at Nairobi has been held by an Indian. I understand that he has recently retired from the service, but I have not yet received any proposals from the Governor of Kenya668W for filling the vacancy. The head master of the school at Mombasa is a European who was transferred from an educational appointment in India on the recommendation of the Government of Kenya. * The Education Commission appointed in 191S reported that a considerable amount of feeling was evinced by Indian witnesses in favour of the view that the control of a school should, if possible, be European, and the Commission supported this view at least in the case of Nairobi and Mombasa.
