HC Deb 25 June 1964 vol 697 cc101-2W
32. Mr. F. M. Bennett

asked the Secretary for Technical Co-operation how many British teachers were serving in developing countries in January, 1963; and how many of them left Great Britain to serve developing countries during 1963.

Mr. R. Carr

At that time, there were about 2,600 teachers serving in developing countries who had been appointed under the auspices of Her Majesty's Government. I do not know the numbers serving under other auspices.

During 1963, just over 1,300 teachers were appointed under the auspices of Her Majesty's Government, and we know of over 400 sent out by other bodies. In addition an unknown number will have been recruited direct by some of the developing countries.
