Auxiliaries

HC Deb 25 June 1964 vol 697 cc106-7W

43. Mr. Willey

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will make a statement on the use of auxiliaries in schools for the many non-teaching tasks now performed by teachers.

46. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will make a statement on the use of auxiliaries in schools and institutes of further education for non-teaching tasks.

Mr. Hogg

The use of non-teaching staff for certain duties is a well-established practice both in schools and in further education and raises no issues of policy. I am awaiting the advice of my National Advisory Council on the Training and Supply of Teachers on the use of auxiliaries in the classroom in schools. I understand that some progress has now been made and that a draft report is to be considered at a further meeting in July.
