§ 52. Mr. Willeyasked the Minister of Education whether she will now abandon the system whereby young students are required to sign a declaration or other document committing them to teach in consideration of their receiving assets.
§ Miss HorsbrughNo, Sir, so far as concerns students entering training colleges for teachers.
§ Mr. WilleyWould the right hon. Lady look at this again? It is a small matter, and I think she would agree that this serves no useful purpose and is vexatious. Would it not be better now to accept the recommendations of the McNair Committee?
§ Miss HorsbrughNo, I do not agree. I think that in these difficult times, when we are wanting teachers, we should have this for those going into the training colleges.
