EDUCATION IN BRITAIN
PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE PROPOSALS BEING FRAMED RUGBY, May 12. The President of the Board of Education, Mr H. Ramsbotham, told the London branch of the National Union of Teachers that proposals for future educational planning would soon be available to serve as a basis for discussion with local education authorities and teachers. The three main lines of advance to be undertaken as soon as possible after the war would be, first, the raising of the school leaving age to 15 without exemption, secondly, the establishment of day continuation schools; thirdly, reform and expansion of the secondary school system. Referring to religious teaching in schools, the President said there was growing unity among religious bodies and there were indications that the cause of Christian education would no longer be injured by controversies between Christian communities.
