§ Mr. William Hannanasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what consultations he has had with the General Teaching Council and the teacher training college authorities with a view to modifying the course for graduates; and with what results.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellI have received the Council's comments on the proposals of my predecessor for a "sandwich" training scheme to prepare graduates for secondary school work and have noted their view that the existing training arrangements should continue pending an inquiry which they have decided to institute on the training of graduates. I am awaiting the outcome of the Council's inquiry.
