HC Deb 25 February 1948 vol 447 c334W
28. Mr. Dodds-Parker

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what action he is taking to ensure proper educational facilities for European children in Nyasaland, in view of the increasing congestion in the schools of Southern Rhodesia.

Mr. Rees-Williams

It is considered advisable on medical grounds that European children over to years of age should continue their education in a temperate climate. To that end the Government of Nyasaland provides financial assistance to parents of European children over that age who leave the Protectorate to be educated in nearby territories. So far sufficient vacancies for these children have always been available in Southern Rhodesian schools and negotiations are in train to secure a continuance of this arrangement.
