Four-year primary teacher training course

Summary

Collins asks about extending the course to four years; Wilson says the current three-year course should be assessed before any change.

Edward Collins Mr. E. Collins Fine Gael

asked the Minister for Education if he is aware of the suggestion of the Chairman of the Higher Education Authority to extend the training course for primary teachers to four years and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Comment on this

I am aware of the suggestion.

The first graduates of the present three-year course are those of the 1977 class. Assessment of the present course should precede any suggested change.
