§ Sir Wyn RobertsSix higher education institutions held eight taster courses for prospective teachers in the academic year 1991–92. The institutions concerned were UCW Aberystwyth, UCNW Bangor, UC Swansea, Cardiff institute of higher education, North Wales institute of higher education and Gwent college of higher education. UCNW Bangor will be holding a further taster course in September 1993. The taster courses provide men and women with the opportunity to learn more about teaching as a career. The courses are not aimed specifically at women but a substantial proportion of those attending have been women.
