Description

UTV reporter William McGookin reports from the studio on an important educational government White Paper. Intermediate schools were to be renamed as secondary schools but there was kickback against the idea of a comprehensive system with grammar school to be kept. Despite this, there was the call to scrap the 11+ selection exam and find some alternative for selection. Meanwhile the Junior Technical schools were to be discontinued and holidays standardised across all schools.
