§ 74. Mr. Iremongerasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what steps he is taking to ensure that the curricula of local authority schools are adapted to encourage an interest in the principles of cybernetics.
§ Mr. RedheadMy right hon. Friend does not determine the curriculum of the schools. I should regard a detailed study 53W of cybernetics as generally more appropriate to Institutes of Higher Education than to schools, though the basic ideas of cybernetics may be introduced, for example, in computer programming, economics or biology, or in courses in General studies in the sixth form.
