HC Deb 25 February 1946 vol 419 c330W
Flight-Lieutenant Beswick

asked the Secretary of State for War what facilities for preliminary tutoring are available to prospective students who will be serving up to the commencement of the university year.

Mr. Lawson

In addition to the educacational facilities available in units and formations such students may attend free of charge evening classes at technical and other schools under the jurisdiction of local education authorities. Like all other troops they are eligible for vacancies in courses at formation colleges. If they have not already qualified for entrance to a university, they may sit for the Forces preliminary examination. In addition a wide range of War Office correspondence courses is available for men and women who cannot obtain direct class instruction in subjects they wish to study. Such students should seek the advice of their unit education officers who will be able to inform them of the local and other educational facilities available.
