§ Mrs. Renée Short:asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what changes he is planning in the Post Graduate Certificate of Education teacher training courses over the next five years.
§ Dr. BoysonIt is too early to say. Later this year my right hon. Friend expects to receive advice from the Advisory Committee on the Supply and Education of Teachers on this and related matters. When this is received, it will be considered, together with any changes suggested by the work of the Department in considering and approving courses of initial teacher training under the Schools Regulations 1959. Any changes made will be to ensure a better match between the output of teacher training courses and the needs of the schools.
