First reactions to Haslesrave: the attitude of the teaching profession

Abstract

The Haslegrave Report, which will bring a more systematic approach to the education and training of the technician, was published on 16 December 1969. Already it has attracted a great deal of comment, mostly favourable. Recently the Institution of Electrical and Electronic Technician Engineers organised a conference on the Haslegrave Report at Nottingham University and this provided a valuable formal platform for the public expression of views. Two speeches in particular seemed of special interest to our readers. The first reported speech is that given by Mr W A C Kendall, President of the Association of Teachers in Technical Institutions (ATTI), presenting the official view of the technical college teaching profession. Following this is a report of the speech by Mr R F Marshall, a well‐known and distinguished training manager, looking at the Haslegrave proposals from an industrial viewpoint. Reference is made to Dr Haslegrave's own speech to the conference in our editorial leader on page 248 of this issue.
