126 of the 163 local education authorities have now had schemes of secondary reorganisation approved, 105 covering the whole or greater part of the area and 21 a smaller part; 10 more schemes are under consideration by my Department. In the past twelve months, 42 schemes have been approved, 23 of them covering the major part of the area.
