Schools (Assignment Supervisors)

HC Deb 17 December 1969 vol 793 c326W

64. Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many assignment supervisors are now employed in state-aided schools in Scotland; and how many are teaching pupils in secondary, post-primary, or primary schools.

Mr. Ross

There are 14, employed on auxiliary duties in secondary schools.

65. Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will amend the Schools (Scotland) Code so as to define more precisely the duties which assignment supervisors are expected to perform in schools.

Mr. Ross

No, but the appointment of these auxiliaries is a matter I am examining with interested bodies.
