§ 8. Mr. John Harveyasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what plans there are for the provision of university courses in counselling; and what plans he has to enable those already engaged in teaching and youth work to receive training in this subject.
§ Mr. Denis HowellI understand that one university has a one-year course in educational guidance and counselling for qualified serving teachers, and that two more will be starting similar courses next autumn. Informal counselling is a normal task of youth leaders, and this is reflected in the curriculum of their training courses, which is at present under review.
