HC Deb 05 August 1976 vol 916 cc1011-2W
Mr. Beith

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will publish in theOfficial Report the output targets for each college of education course which his Department put forward in the letters to education authorities from which the figures in his answer of 29th July 1976 to the hon. Member for Berwick-upon-Tweed were taken.

Mr. Gerry Fowler

The output targets indicated to colleges as an alternative to intake targets for non-graduate courses were in each case 20 per cent.—rounded to the nearest five—less than the non-graduate figures given in my answer to the hon. Member's Question on 29th July. This 20 per cent. reflects the latest evidence about the average overall wastage and failure rate for these courses.—[Vol. 916. c. 368–72.]
