D.E.S. Circular 7/73: Development of Higher Education in the Non-University Sector

Contains:

• agenda papers prepared for meetings of the Principal's Panel of the Association of Teachers in Colleges and Departments of Education concerning issues arising from D.E.S. Circular 7/73: Development of Higher Education in the Non-University Sector and the Government White Paper Education: A Framework for Expansion (1972) with particular reference to admissions to teacher training for September 1975;
• an association of teacher education institutions in the non-university sector;
• the terms of transfer of staff from Pelham to Burnham Further Education salary scales on the amalgamation of a College of Education with an establishment of Further Education.

The Government White Paper Education: A Framework for Expansion (1972) set out the Government's plans for the expansion of higher education in the non-university sector for the period up to 1981. Circular 7/73 subsequently issued by the Department of Education and Science (DES) asked Local Education Authorities to prepare possible development plans to ensure the attainment of the target number of students for 1981 for their own area.
