HC Deb 26 October 1967 vol 751 c533W
46. Mr. Will Owen

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether, in view of the value of voluntary service to both students and parents he will take steps to provide clerical help for grammar schools and technical colleges who have set up school leavers assistance services.

Miss Bacon

The provision of clerical help in schools and colleges is the responsibility of the local education authorities. Although much useful assistance and co-operation can be given by the teachers, helping leavers to find employment is properly the function of the Youth Employment Service rather than of schools and colleges.
