HC Deb 20 July 1955 vol 544 c43W
66. Mr. Swingler

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what consultations he has had recently with Governors of African territories on the need to devote greater resources to the expansion of African education.

Mr. Hopkinson

The expansion of education facilities for Africans, at all levels from primary school to university, is taking place at a rapid rate in all the African territories, and my right hon. Friend is in constant communication with Governors about it. The proportion of general revenue which can be devoted to African education must of course be considered by the local Governments themselves in the light of the resources of their territories and the calls on those resources.
