the education and training of teachers: The james proposals explained

Abstract

How good is the present system of training teachers? The James Committee, named after Lord James, the Vice‐Chancellor of York University, set up in 1970 to answer this question, recently issued its report. If its proposals are adopted it may well come to be regarded as the most important educational document since the Robbins Report: important for two reasons. It seeks to provide a new and better model of training for teachers than now exists and to offer opportunities for the expansion of higher education without having greatly to expand universities or degree courses in polytechnics.
