§ 31. Dr. David Kerrasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what 105W proposals he has for raising the proportion of men recruited for teacher training up to the level of 35 per cent.
§ Mr. Goronwy RobertsThe number of men entrants to the colleges of education has increased over the last four years from about 5,000 to 9,500, but with the rapid increase in total intakes the proportion of men in the entry has remained at about 28 per cent. We are taking a number of steps designed to ensure that boys in sixth forms are fully aware of what the colleges have to offer by way both of higher education and preparation for a teaching career.
