§ Mr. SteinbergTo ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will list the further education colleges in England which run special transition courses for school leavers with learning difficulties; and what plans his Department has to promote the establishing of more of these courses.
§ Mr. BoswellThe Government recognise the part which link courses play in the transition from school to further education for pupils with learning difficulties. There is no central list of transition arrangements. We have promoted, through guidance to schools and further education colleges, the importance of transition arrangements, including link courses.
