HC Deb 27 July 1967 vol 751 c195W
58. Miss Lestor

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what evaluation has been made of courses for teachers with overseas qualifications; and what proportion of these teachers is now employed by education authorities.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts

Only one of the four 15 months' courses for immigrant teachers has been completed. It is, therefore, too early to make a proper evaluation of the courses, but experience so far indicates that they can help the teachers to fit more readily into our schools. Eleven out of the 13 on the course which has ended are now in teaching posts.
