HC Deb 18 July 1962 vol 663 cc68-9W
86. Mr. A. Pearson

asked the Minister of Education whether he is aware of the public concern in Glamorgan at the lowered standard of staffing in Glamorgan schools; if he will review the situation; and what steps he will take to improve the standard.

Sir E. Boyle

Glamorgan have been asked to accept no more than their fair share of the special difficulties arising this year from the interruption of the output from teacher training colleges as a consequence of lengthening the period of training to three years. No limit has been placed upon the number of part-time teachers or married women returning to teaching whom authorities may employ outside their quota. I hope the Glamorgan Education Authority will take full advantage of this freedom.
