§ 70. Mr. Walkerasked the Minister of Education, whether he has considered recruiting from abroad teachers qualified to teach in subjects relating to business and management education.
§ Sir E. BoyleA number of colleges have used the services of teachers from abroad, both as advisers and as visiting lecturers. I am sure that the practice is one which could, with advantage, be developed, and I am bringing my hon. Friend's suggestion to the notice of the United Kingdom Advisory Council on Education for Management, which is at present examining the recruitment of management teachers.
§ 71. Mr. Walkerasked the Minister of Education what facilities exist for the 90W training of teachers in subjects relating to business and management education; and how many additional teachers are expected to have qualified by 1965.
§ Sir E. BoyleThe annual output from the one-year courses in technical teacher training colleges of students who have specialised in business studies at the professional level is expected to rise from 50 at present to about 100 by 1965. I should hope that there will also be an increase in the number of graduates in economics and similar subjects taking courses at university departments of education and in the numbers taking the shorter courses regularly organised by my Department and other bodies.
