HC Deb 20 July 1972 vol 841 c155W
Mr. Barry Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she will outline the current guiding principles for, and initiate a review of, the training of careers teachers, and initiate in-service training for careers teachers.

Mr. van Straubenzee

A wide variety of in-service courses are already available for careers teachers; this aspect of teaching is not usually included in initial training. My right hon. Friend expects to receive by about Easter, 1973, the report of a survey of careers education in schools currently being conducted by Her Majesty's inspectors. She will be reviewing the arrangements for careers education in the light of that report.
