§ 33. Mr. Dykesasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she is satisfied with the progress made in the development of sixth form colleges in England and Wales, with particular regard to the number of courses offered.
§ Miss Margaret JacksonIn England, sixth form colleges are a relatively recent development in secondary education and not many have been in existence for more than a few years. They offer a variety of courses to an increasing number of young people of a wide range of abilities. I am watching their progress with interest.
