HC Deb 17 June 1948 vol 452 c80W
86. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Education to what extent students from training colleges will be absorbed in the further education field for which they have been specifically trained; and if he will avoid discouragement among those who have completed their training by encouraging L.E.A.s to develop experimental county colleges and more extended part-time education.

Mr. Tomlinson

Complete statistical information is not available, but I believe that the majority of the students will be employed either in the further education field or in secondary schools for teaching "technical" subjects. It is certainly my policy to encourage local education authorities to establish county colleges where required to meet the educational needs of young people under 18 and to encourage part-time education, particularly in the daytime.
