§ Mr. Boydenasked the Minister of Education (1) why the number of women graduates in mathematics completing professional training for teaching in 1961–62 was less than in 1960–61;
(2) why the number of women graduates in science completing professional training for teaching in 1961–62 was less than in 1960–61.
§ Sir E. BoyleThe number of women graduates in mathematics and science entering upon courses of professional training for teaching in 1961–62 was slightly lower than in the previous year and a rather higher proportion of those who entered failed to complete the course successfully. The figure rose again in 1962–63.
