§ Mr. Greyasked the Minister of Education if she is aware that the principle of the multilateral school is widely accepted; and if she will impress upon the local education authorities the importance of including provisions in their development plans for this kind of school.
§ Miss WilkinsonI am aware that the provision of multilateral schools is being considered by a number of local education authorities. In circulars and other pronouncements, I have made it plain that I welcome experiments of this kind. I66W do not, however, wish to dogmatise about the form in which secondary education should be organised at the outset of the great experiment of educating all children according to their ability and aptitude.
