§ Mr. Alan CampbellTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what plans he has to remove the upper age limit for entrants to PGCE courses. [33792]
§ Ms Estelle MorrisThe Department's requirements for courses of initial training do not stipulate age limits for entry to PGCE or other initial training courses. Providers, who are responsible for the selection of candidates, are expected to use their discretion to ensure that all trainees who successfully complete a course will be employable.
