HC Deb 23 July 1964 vol 699 c124W
60 and 61. Mr. Woodburn

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) what arrangements he has made with the British Broadcasting Corporation to secure for schools films or discs of lessons broadcast for later use in schools, as is done by the British Council for education abroad;

(2) whether he will make arrangements for the reproduction on tape or discs of television lectures by authorities so that their exposition can be made available to universities and teaching schools as aids to efficiency and economy in the use of teaching.

Mr. Hogg

Schools can obtain, through the Educational Foundation for Visual Aids, films of a number of the B.B.C. television programmes for schools and technical colleges. They can also make their own tape recordings of educational radio programmes, and use them until the end of the school year. Arrangements could be made to provide films of other programmes of educational interest if the demand justified it.
