§ Mr. Maudeasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what steps he is taking to expand the opportunities for the further training of serving teachers.
§ Mr. HoggOn 25th May I sent a circular to local education authorities to outline my plans for the expansion of one-year and short courses for teachers and to ask for their co-operation in expanding their own provision in co-operation with the institutes of education, the professional associations and other bodies. I am particularly anxious to increase opportunities for experienced teachers who wish to take full-time advanced courses, and for married women teachers who may thereby be encouraged to return to teaching.
