HC Deb 18 July 1989 vol 157 cc162-3W
39. Mr. Haselhurst

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a statement on the progress of the technical and vocational education initiative.

Mr. Cope

The technical and vocational education initiative is making excellent progress. TVEI is helping to prepare young people for working life by ensuring that their education is directly relevant to the world of work. All education authorities in Great Britain are now taking part in TVEI: by September this year, some two thirds of them will have moved from the pilot phase to extending TVEI to all schools and colleges.
