I recently met the representatives of one of the universities concerned and we worked out a plan to tackle the shortage of German teachers. This plan should be successful. I should point out that I would not have been prepared to stand over the substantial decrease in the figures, from 1,300 to 600, except for the fact that efforts were being made to work out a satisfactory and cohesive plan in relation to teacher training. That is the subject of the talks currently taking place between the Higher Education Authority and the universities. I am confident that these talks will lead to the production of a far better plan covering teacher training at second level and in-service course. All the early indications are that this will be the case.
