HC Deb 19 July 1939 vol 350 c426W
Mr. Ridley

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether it is the intention of His Majesty's Government to establish an educational system in Kenya which will provide free education for all children of school age; and what steps are being taken towards that end?

Mr. M. MacDonald

At the present stage in the development of Kenya it is not possible to contemplate a system of free education for all children of school age. It is the Government's policy, however, to increase the facilities available for education as resources permit.
