§ 133. Mr. G. Longdenasked the Minister of Education how many pupils are being removed from grammar schools after the age of 15 and before they have completed the syllabus; and what happens to the places which are thus vacated.
§ Miss HorsbrughDuring the educational year 1950–51, the latest for which figures are available, about 65 per cent. of the boys and 67 per cent. of the girls in grant-aided grammar schools left before their seventeenth birthdays. It does not necessarily follow that accommodation is left vacant.
