§ Sir E. Boyle
PROPORTIONS OF ALL THIRTEEN-YEAR OLD PUPILS IN JANUARY, 1956 FOR WHOM LOCAL EDUCATION AUTHORITIES WERE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. — Type of secondary school attended Grammar and Technical Modern England and Wales 24.9 64.5 Hampshire 17.2 75.0 NOTES:
1. "Grammar and Technical" includes the grammar and technical streams of bilateral and multilateral schools, and places at direct grant and independent schools for which local education authorities are responsible.
2. In some areas, including Hampshire, some secondary technical schools recruit their pupils at too great an age for them to be included in the table. If the number of 14 year old pupils in secondary technical schools is substituted for the number of 13 year olds, the figures in the first column of the table become 26.2 for England and Wales and 18.2 for Hampshire.
