§ Mr. Gwynfor Evansasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what was the student intake into Welsh colleges of education in 1956; what it was in 1966; and what is the estimate for 1970.
§ Mr. RedheadNon-graduate entrants to courses of initial teacher training in the Welsh colleges of education numbered 814 in 1956. Their combined intake target for the next few years, which they proposed in response to my right hon. Friend's request of July, 1965 for a more productive use of college facilities, is about 2,100, but I am glad to say that they have already exceeded this with a provisional figure of 2,131 for their 1966 intake.
