§ Mr. Matthew TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science, when his Department will publish the report on management information systems for colleges of further education; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. JacksonThe project team commissioned by the Department, together with the Training Agency and the Welsh Office, to conduct a quality assurance study of computerised management information systems in further education, presented its findings in March this year. It was decided that the greatest value would be obtained from the study if a report was produced which set the team's findings within a wider national context and drew attention to related developments. This report is currently being written and should be ready for publication in early autumn.
