HC Deb 21 May 1971 vol 817 c367W
Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether she is satisfied with the standard of qualifications obtained in teacher training establishments in the Commonwealth by teachers wishing to teach in this country; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. van Straubenzee

Standards vary considerably from country to country and establishment to establishment. Applications from teachers trained in the Commonwealth to teach in this country are therefore considered on their individual merits.
