12.05 London. 12.55 10.00 London. by Jack Gale THE report of the James Commission on Teacher Education and Training is likely to be published next Wednesday. It will recommend a rigid tripartite higher system education, within which teacher-training will be narrow and isolated, with non-univer- sity graduates being confirmed as inferior-grade teachers.

Proposals The likely proposals of the inquiry are: 1 The Colleges of Education will be re-designed as liberal arts colleges' which will offer a two-year broad-based 'Diploma in Higher Education'. Students who so wish will be able to finish their éducation at this stage, but the diploma will be largely mean- ingless if they do. Those who wish to become teachers will tav on for another two years.

The first of these years will deal mainly with educational theory, the second with practical experi- ence in schools. 2 The BA (Ed.) degree will be awarded at the end of the four years. There will be no honours in this degree. Thus the degree will be markedly inferior to a university degree. It will be a third-rate qualification.

3 University graduates who enter teaching will take the second cycle of the two-year liberal arts colleges, as described above, after their university degree course. They will thus end up with two degrees-their uni- versity degree and the BA (Ed.)

—thus reaffirming the superiority of a university course. 4 Instead of colleges being run under the auspices of uni- versity Institutes of Education, as at present, new regional bodies will be set up which will
