§ Sir W. Darlingasked the Minister of Education what exchange arrangements for teachers exist outside the British Commonwealth; and which European countries are accepting them.
§ Mr. TomlinsonApart from the scheme for the exchange of teachers with the U.S.A. a small number of teachers have been exchanged with Norway and with Sweden. I am at present in communication with the authorities of those two countries with a view to increasing the number of exchanges with them, and I have proposed the extension of the exchange of teachers to Denmark and to the Netherlands. My Department has, moreover, reciprocal arrangements with France, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria and Germany under which a considerable number of assistants are placed in the schools for part-time work in reading and conversation.
