HC Deb 28 January 1963 vol 670 c143W
Captain Kerby

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations if he will instruct Her Majesty's High Commissioner in Ghana to seek an early interview with Dr. Nkrumah with a view to asking the Government of Ghana to honour their previous agreement with the terms of the 1960 Directive, which established the pension and compensation rights of Her Majesty's Overseas Civil Service officers serving on inter-territorial research organisations in West Africa.

NUMBER OF PUPILS AGED 15 (AND 16) IN MODERN AND ALL-AGE SCHOOLS EXPRESSED AS A PERCENTAGE OF THE NUMBER OF PUPILS AGED 13 IN SUCH SCHOOLS TWO (AND THREE) YEARS EARLIER
January, 1958 January, 1959 January, 1960 January, 1961 January, 1962
15 year-olds (as percentage of 13 year-olds two years earlier) 8.5 10.4 12.5 13.6 17.5
16 year-olds (as percentage of 13 year-olds three years earlier) 1.2 1.6 2.0 2.6 3.3

These figures show a welcome continuation of the trend of recent years and reflect the successful establishment of extended courses in a steadily increasing number of schools.
