HC Deb 13 April 1976 vol 909 c464W
Mr. Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will issue a circular to LEAs encouraging them to provide in-service training for remedial teachers.

Mr. Gerry Fowler

No. The local education authorities themselves are in the best position to judge what priority should be given to in-service training in remedial work. Over the past few years the number of teachers seconded to courses in remedial teaching has increased very substantially.
