§ 36. Mr. Kennedyasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on the use of composite classes in the Scottish educational system.
§ Mr. Allan StewartComposite classes have long been a feature of the Scottish educational system. Such classes are not inherently unsound educationally, so long as they are formed with due regard for the needs of the pupils concerned and provided the work of each class is adapted to the abilities of individual pupils through, for example, the use of group and individual methods.
