HC Deb 25 January 1993 vol 217 c539W
Mr. Win Griffiths

To ask the Secretary of State for Education how many local education authorities provide regular training courses for school governors which meet the standards expected by his Department.

Mr. Forth

All LEAs arrange for training for school governors. The 1991 HMI report "The Quality of Training and Support for Governors in Schools and Colleges" found that 81 per cent. of training sessions inspected were sound or very good. Training and support were reaching a high proportion of governors.
