§ Mr. Royleasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what facilities exist for the training of teachers in the Windward and Leeward Islands.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydSince 1954, facilities have been provided with assistance from Colonial Development and Welfare funds for 32 students to attend two-year residential courses at Erdiston College, Barbados. All the islands in the Windwards and Leewards group participate in this scheme except Antigua which has its own small training college. This provides 30 places of which about half are available to students from the other Leeward Islands. Each territory provides also non-residential part-time training for teachers already in service.
