HC Deb 26 June 1996 vol 280 c157W
18. Mr. Patrick Thompson

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if she will make a statement on the teaching skills and methods employed in schools. [33215]

Mr. Paice

All teachers need to be equipped with a range of effective teaching methods, and to know when to use them. My right hon. Friend will publish details in September of her plans to ensure all training courses cover teaching methods of proven worth and give priority to primary literacy and numeracy.
