§ 53. Mr. J. H. Osbornasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many colleges of further education operate courses in the ordinary national certificate in public administration; and how many students have been enrolled in the current year.
§ Mrs. Shirley WilliamsCourses leading to the Ordinary National Certificate in Public Administration, under the management of the Joint Committee for Awards in Business Studies, were introduced in the colleges for the first time in September, 1968. So far 73 Colleges have applied to the Joint Committee for approval to run such courses; 27 have been approved to start this year, and two to start next year. I understand that most of the remainder are likely to receive approval.
Details of the numbers of students enrolled are not yet available.
