§ 23. Mr. J. E. B. Hillasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many technical colleges provide courses of teacher training under the aegis of the Council for National Academic Awards.
§ Mrs. Shirley WilliamsNone, Sir. There is a C.N.A.A. course at Enfield College directed towards serving teachers, but it leads to a degree in social science not in education.
§ Mr. HillWould it not be useful if such a course were started and made available as widening one of the routes not only to professional qualifications but to a degree in those qualifications?
§ Mrs. WilliamsYes, I think that it would. Five technical colleges have departments of education and all had the option of choosing these courses or going under university institutes of education. All chose the second route, but it is open to them to choose the C.N.A.A. instead.
