HC Deb 22 November 1966 vol 736 c269W
Mr. Will Owen

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what was the intake to teacher training colleges in 1965–66; how this compares with 1963–64; and what is the forward expectation to 1970.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts

Non-graduate entrants to courses of initial teacher training in the general, housecraft and physical education colleges numbered 29,008 in 1965, compared with 20,985 in 1963. Current plans provide for the figure to rise to 35,000 by 1968–69.
