HC Deb 22 April 1964 vol 693 c176W
52. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what percentage of pupils whose test score was 52–60 at eight years of age left school in Scotland at 15 years of age, in the year ended March, 1964.

Lady Tweedsmuir

Since it is not the practice to make intelligence tests for all children at age eight, the information is not available. The majority of above average pupils take certificate courses and the proportion of pupils in certificate courses completing at least four years of secondary education before leaving was, in 1963, 61 per cent.
