HC Deb 27 July 1955 vol 544 cc136-7W
13. Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will authorise increased Government funds for African education in Nyasaland, and particularly for the training of more teachers.

Mr. Hopkinson

The Nyasaland Government are well aware of the need to extend and improve the quality of African education in the territory and will continue to apply increasing sums to that end, so far as their resources allow. Present plans for educational development provide for an increase in the annual output of trained African teachers from 211 in 1954 to 380 in 1959.
