1965 - The Rt. Hon. Sir Edward Boyle - Education for International Understanding

In this lecture, the Right Honourable Sir Edward Boyle spoke to the need to promote an international understanding within the British education system. He presented four reasons why introducing this into the curriculum would be beneficial: because it permits an understanding of the economic needs of others for trading purposes, it promotes the ability to think beyond the national group, it finds itself in a synergy with the current tendency for young British people to be interested in visiting other states, especially when paired with development projects, and it has the ability to mitigate some of the problems of immigration within Britain. He proceeded to give some examples of successful programmes and listed some priorities, including the purchasing of audio-visual equipment, the need for textbooks to encourage discussion on contemporary topics, and the creation of new research centres at British universities to study world order.
