§ 71. Mr. Millanasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what arrangements he has made for the payment of grants to students of the Open University; and if he will give details of the grants.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellEducation authorities may grant bursaries to Open University students at their discretion. I understand that most authorities will be prepared to consider awarding bursaries in respect of the summer school fee and related travelling expenses.
§ Mr. Millanasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how degrees granted by the Open University will be treated for recognition for entry to the teaching profession in Scotland.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellI propose to treat them in the same way as degrees of Scottish universities. The General Teaching Council for Scotland concur and I hope to publish the necessary regulations in draft very early next year.
