HC Deb 06 May 1986 vol 97 c43W
38. Mr. Rathbone

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what proportion of initial teacher training courses has been monitored by the Council for the Assessment of Teachers' Education.

Mr. Walden

The Secretaries of State have asked the Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education to review all existing approved courses of initial teacher training and to scrutinise any proposals for new courses for which an allocation of intake places has been made. Such courses are currently provided at 96 institutions in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. So far the council has considered the courses at 28—approximately one third—of these institutions.
