§ Mr. Fauldsasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she 302W will review the present system of appointment of school managers and governors with a view to reducing the political patronage involved, and improving the standards of knowledge and ability of those appointed.
§ Mrs. ThatcherI agree that it is undesirable for appointments of school managers and governors to be made solely on political grounds. The Education Acts make no stipulation about the kind of person to be appointed.
