HC Deb 27 January 1954 vol 522 c243W
95. Mr. R. Robinson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will take steps to expand the facilities for technical training in Trinidad and Jamaica.

Mr. Hopkins on

This is a matter within the responsibility of the Governments concerned, and I can assure my hon. Friend that they have it very much in mind. In Jamaica, technical education is one of the branches of education to which the Government of that Territory propose to give priority during the next 10 years. In Trinidad, rapid progress has been made in the construction of the Technical High School and College at San Fernando, which it is hoped will be open this year.
