§ 70. Mr. J. E. B. Hillasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what estimates he has made of the numbers of students likely to enrol in the courses to be offered in the proposed Open University; and on what proportion of those completing such courses his plans are based.
§ Miss Jennie LeeNo precise estimates of enrolments can be given at this time. Only a small proportion of those viewing are likely to accept the full disciplines of study, but the purpose of an Open University is to help raise standards of literacy as well as to provide opportunities for gaining qualifications.
