HC Deb 08 June 1959 vol 606 cc73-4W
Mr. Malcolm MacPherson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the net recurrent expenditure of public money per head of school population for European primary education in Kenya in the last convenient period of twelve months; and what was the corresponding expenditure for African primary education.

Mr. Amery,

pursuant to his reply [OFFICIAL REPORT, 12th February, 1959; Vol. 599, c. 225], supplied the following further information:

The net recurrent expenditure from public funds in Kenya per head of school population, in European primary and the corresponding African primary and intermediate schools was respectively £39.1 and £4.1. These figures are based on expenditure in the financial year 1957–58 and the average number of pupils in the calendar years 1957 and 1958. They do not include pupils in unaided schools.
