Mrs. Wormald, Chairman of the Education C'ttee, and Brian Simon will be addressing an important meeting at the Central Hall, Liverpool on November 27th at 7.30pm. It is important that there should be a good attendance, as the C'ttee for the Promotion of Comprehensive Education needs all possible support.
The greatest ally any progressive Education Committee can have is an informed body of socialist teachers in their own authority. Nottingham now has such a body and they held their first public meeting on 18th November. They discussed the campaign for comprehensive education in the city of Bristol and the announcement by Nottingham's Roland Green that that city's bilateral scheme was here to stay. One Training College lecturer commented caustiovally that it would not be so bad if the city's schools were at least truly bilateral. Bristol maintained Grammar Schools fought comprehensive education on the basis of "Freedom of Choice". Bristol parents however quickly realised that this freedom only embraced those with the long purse, and that the children of common mortals went where the ll plus results sent them.
