HC Deb 22 February 1983 vol 37 cc409-10W
33. Mr. Eggar

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what progress has been made towards the introduction of pupil profiles; and if he will make a statement.

Dr. Boyson

The introduction of records of achievement for school leavers on a national scale will require further practical work on the educational issues and resource implications. Promising local initiatives include schemes in which local education authorities, teachers and examination boards are involved in a joint enterprise. These are being monitored by the Department, and my right hon. Friend is considering what further action should be taken by the Government, with the help of the Secondary Examinations Council.
