Teaching by Television

HC Deb 16 May 1963 vol 677 c181W

51. Mr. G. Roberts

asked the Minister of Education if he will set up a committee to report on the possibility of a teaching-by-television service.

Mr. Chataway

My right hon. Friend fully recognises the potential value of teaching by television, but he does not think that a useful purpose would be served by setting up such a committee at the present time. He would prefer to see what emerges from the present plans both of the Corporation and of the programme companies in relation both to schools and to adult television.
