Synopsis

Item focusing on the Tameside education dispute in 1976 when the Conservatives, immediately after replacing Labour in the 1976 local elections, proposed the abolition of comprehensive schooling and a return to the grammar school 11-plus exam system. David Davies interviews a Conservative Party spokesman outside Tameside Education Department about the selection of pupils for grammar schools. Felicity Goodey reports on the three teachers unions that protested and a Conservative Party spokesman is interviewed outside a meeting between teachers and politicians (seems to be transmission print, out of sync at end).
