§ Mrs. Renée Shortasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she will spend part of her Department's increased expenditure allowance in the current year on installing as many microcomputers in as many schools as possible so as to prepare the younger generation for the future society in which they will live, as the French Education Ministry is doing.
§ Mrs. Shirley WilliamsMy Department is planning a national programme to help schools and colleges to become fully aware of microelectronics and to make the best use of the new opportunities it offers. Such a programme would deal not only with the provision of equipment but also with curriculum development and teacher training.
