§ Mr. Juddasked the Minister of Overseas Development what further action has been taken by Her Majesty's Government to assist in the training of teachers overseas following the Fourth Commonwealth Education Conference in Lagos.
§ Mr. OramWith my approval, the National Council for the Supply and Training of Teachers Overseas has established a Standing Committee on Teacher Training. This Committee, which is representative of the many interests concerned in the United Kingdom with this key area of educational development, will consider all matters within the functions of the Council relating to overseas teacher training. It is expected to hold its first meeting on 18th June, under the chairmanship of Sir Henry Wood Principal of Jordanhill College of Education, Glasgow. I am sure that this new body will greatly add to our capacity to help developing countries in the training of their local teachers.
