Written Answers. - Graduate Diploma in Education.
I have already announced the introduction of a further post-graduate course for the training of primary teachers. This course is set to begin in early 1997 and will provide places for 150 students. A number of issues concerning the running of the course are currently being finalised with the authorities of the college of education and I expect that a public announcement inviting applications will be made shortly.
