§ 23. Mr. John E. Haireasked the Minister of Education in what respects grants for teachers in training differ from those for students in universities.
§ Mr. TomlinsonI am sending my hon. Friend documents explaining the grants available for State scholars at universities, and for students at training colleges. There is no rigid uniformity in the arrangements made by local authorities for university awards, but they have been recommended to follow the principles adopted for State scholarships.
§ Mr. HaireIs my right hon. Friend aware that many student teachers in training feel that they are subjected to a most unfortunate means test in the matter of grants?
§ Mr. TomlinsonAs my hon. Friend knows, the whole question of awards for higher education is under review. I am well aware of the differences between university awards and those available for teachers in training, and I agree that some changes will have to be made.
