HC Deb 14 November 1978 vol 958 cc147-8W
23. Dr. Hampson

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what action she proposes to take on the report entitled, "Mixed Ability Teaching in Comprehensive Schools".

Miss Margaret Jackson

The document is one of a series of discussion papers by Her Majesty's Inspectors of Schools, based on surveys conducted by the inspectorate. It was published to promote wide discussion within the education service. I hope that it will be of help, both to schools and teachers who are considering introducing mixed ability teaching, and to those already working within such a framework.
