§ Mr. FatchettTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether it is now his policy to develop a city technology college in each local education authority; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. RumboldIt is a key aim of the CTC programme that the colleges should make a major contribution to the development of higher standards in all schools. Within the last week my right hon. Friend has announced funding for curriculum development work to support the colleges' contribution to higher standards across the education system as a whole. He is also considering a number of other ways in which the lessons of CTCs could be made more widely available.
