HC Deb 28 March 1983 vol 40 c28W
Mr. Freud

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he plans to make in-service training of teachers mandatory; and what structures and guidelines for this training will be introduced.

Dr. Boyson

My right hon. Friend is of the view that from time to time all teachers need to avail themselves of in-service training, but has no present intention of making such training mandatory.
