Mr. De la Bèreasked the Secretary of State for War what steps he is taking to ensure that new entrants to the Army Education Corps are conversant with technical and mechanical matters, in order to deal with the increasing responsibilities and wider outlook for which they are called upon to accept responsibility?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaOfficers and noncommissioned officers entering the Army Educational Corps undergo a ten weeks' course at the School of Education to train them in the art of teaching. The Army Educational Corps deals with general education and not with mechanical or technical instruction.
