§ Mr. Andersonasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science to what extent there are officially supported exchange programmes between young teachers in the United Kingdom and European Economic Community countries; and to what extent his Department contributes towards such programmes.
§ Miss BaconThe Central Bureau for Educational Visits and Exchanges, which is financed by the Education Departments, has arranged for about 30 British teachers to teach in countries of the European Economic Community and for 54 teachers from those countries to teach here during the current academic year. British teachers receive small grants to offset the effect on their salary of the November, 1967, devaluation of sterling which at present involve a charge to my Department of about £1,000 a year.
