TECHNICAL
EDUCATION
M E M O R A N D U M BY THE MINISTER OF EDUCATION
I was asked by the Cabinet to submit proposals for technical education in
England and Wales ( C M . (55) 45th Conclusions, Minute 6). The Universities
are outside my province. A n increase in their departments of science and
technology can be expected. But to keep pace with other industrial countries it
is clear that the big increase in numbers must come through the technical colleges.
2. The accompanying memorandum outlines my plans. I am asking for
authority to select and build up some twenty-five regional colleges where advanced
technology would be taught up to university standards. Each such college would
be the centre of a group of satellite colleges, planned to suit industry. These
lower-level colleges would train technicians and provide growing numbers of
students, the best of whom would go on to advanced studies. In this way the
gaps in the existing pattern of technical colleges can be filled in, provided local
authorities can be persuaded to accept regional planning in the interests of British
industry.
3. M y recommendation is that the programme as a whole should be
announced in a White Paper, and that we should aim to start projects to the value
of £70 million in building in the lifetime of this Parliament, and to complete them
in eight years.

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENTS IN T E C H N I C A L A N D T E C H N O L O G I C A L
E D U C A T I O N IN T E C H N I C A L COLLEGES
1. There is no need to argue the case for expanding technical education.
Even if we could satisfy British industry, there would be an insatiable demand
from overseas. Including the plans for Imperial College, the university
developments announced for the present quinquennium seem likely to lead to
an increase of roughly 25 per cent, in the present annual number of about 1,850
first degrees in technology at universities in England, Wales and Scotland. The
universities are already beginning to think about further developments for 1957-62,
but they cannot rapidly increase their output of graduates.
T H E T E C H N I C A L C O L L E G E S A N D T H E E D U C A T I O N OF T E C H N O L O G I S T S
2. The technical colleges are a complementary means of training technologists,
catering for those students who prefer to mix earning and learning, and whose
ambitions are not fully stirred until they have some experience of making a
living. I suspect that this mixture of practice and theory is peculiarly suited
to our people, and that many boys, and also their parents and employers,
prefer this start in life to a university. A t present the technical colleges turn
out about 1,500 students every year who get external university degrees in science
or technology, and some 9,000 who obtain qualifications not vastly different,
mostly Higher National Certificates. Some of these students come on straight
from full-time schooling at 18, but most of them leave school at 15 or 16 and fill
the gap until 18 by part-time studies, having a definite job and an employer who
backs their further education.
3. Our policy at the technological level is to attract more students who
have stayed at school till 18 and to get more young men released from industry
for full-time study. They will take either a continuous course of three or four
years or, more frequently, the " sandwich courses " of alternate periods of study
and employment which are being developed in consultation with the electrical,
mining, building, railway and other industries. The new award-making Council,
under the Chairmanship of Lord Hives, will approve these courses for diplomas
in advanced technology having a status equal to a university degree.
4. A s the main (though not exclusive) instruments for these courses we
envisage the development of some 25 existing colleges in the major industrial
centres as regional colleges concentrating on advanced work. These will be served
by satellite local colleges, most of which will concentrate on the less advanced
students and thus relieve the regional colleges of the low-level work with which
many of them are still encumbered. T o achieve this pattern we shall have to
persuade the local authorities, who manage almost all the technical colleges, to
accept regional planning and " free trade " in students across their boundaries.
5. The programme described later is designed to increase the annual output
from advanced courses at technical colleges from about 10,000 to about 15,000.
W e shall do better than this if we succeed in increasing the proportion of students
who complete the courses on which they embark. I am considering how best to
reduce the wastage, which is now serious.
T E C H N I C A L C O L L E G E C O U R S E S FOR L E S S A D V A N C E D S T U D E N T S
6. These are needed for training the skilled technicians and craftsmen required
to support the technologists and for widening the stream from which the more
able and ambitious can go on to advanced courses.
7. There should be no shortage of applicants. The growing number of
pupils stopping on at secondary schools after 15 is already swelling the number of
suitably qualified boys anxious to obtain further education, and over the next
ten years the bulge in the birthrate will very substantially increase the numbers
leaving school. This year out of some 250,000 boys who left maintained schools
70,000 went on to further education. The programme I propose will raise this
figure to 120,000 out of the 300,000 who are expected to leave in 1965. ( N o t many
girls become technicians; separate figures for these are, therefore, not given in this
memorandum.)
8. T o o many students are attending evening classes (see Appendix A on
Statistics and Explanation of Terms. Study after a day's work is often not good,
enough for present requirements. Our policy is, therefore, to encourage day-time
release, and to increase the number of places for this purpose at the appropriate
satellite colleges. A t present about 180,000 boys under 18 are taking day-time
courses. W e should persuade industry to double this number.
9. W e must also undertake a campaign to get more boys to persevere to the
end of the course. The wastage to-day is even more serious here than in the
advanced courses.
T H E P R O G R A M M E OF C A P I T A L
DEVELOPMENT
10. W e have compiled for England and Wales a provisional list of building
projects for carrying out these policies (see Appendix B). It is based on our present
information about the needs of industry in the different parts of England and
Wales, but new developments may very well create new needs. The total cost of
these projects at present prices is estimated roughly at £70 million, with a further
£15 million for equipment, say £85 million in all.
11. F o r 1956-57 the local education authorities asked for permission to start
building to the value of £30 million. I could allow them only £9 million, and this
had to cover some further education developments outside the scope of this paper,
e.g., for commerce. A t this rate the last projects in the £70 million programme
cannot begin before 1964-65. This is not good enough. I suggest the programme
should be expanded year by year with the object of starting the whole of it within
five years from now.
THE
SUPPLY
OF T E A C H E R S
12. It would be a waste of money to build new technical colleges unless we
made sure of recruiting adequate teaching staff.
A t present there are 10,400 full-time and 34,000 part-time teachers in technical
colleges. W e shall need some 7,500 more full-time teachers. It will certainly
be necessary to improve pay and conditions if we are to get the right men in
competition with industry and other rival employers.
13. W e shall hope to recruit some from industry or research w o r k ; others
may come from the secondary schools as the bulge passes through them. The
number of places and special courses for training teachers for technical colleges
will have to be increased.
14. Industry has been generous in releasing part-time teachers, and we can
expect this source to expand, but it cannot be a complete substitute for full-time
staff.
15. While I am certain we should not slow down the building programme
on the score of a shortage of teachers, there is no doubt we shall have to make
a major effort to get them.
TECHNICAL EDUCATION AND LIBERAL
STUDIES
16 The clamour for scientific and technical education is so great that we
shall have continually to watch the courses given in technical colleges to see that
thev are
enough. In particular, the ability to speak and write clear English,
s e e m " t o b ^ d e d m i n g , and I should think it wrong if the technical colleges did
not make an effort to improve the knowledge and use of our language.
Load
CONCLUSION
17. Before the financial estimates are discussed in detail, I am asking my
colleagues to give general approval to the policy of technical college development
outlined in this memorandum, and, in particular: —
(a) to increase the annual output of technologists from technical colleges as
soon as possible from 10,000 to at least 15,000;
(b) in order to support the increase in technologists and to provide for the
rapidly growing numbers who will be coming forward from the schools,
to expand substantially the capacity for training technicians and
craftsmen and to strengthen the trend towards part-time day rather
than evening classes;
(c) for these purposes, to step up the rate of building for technical education,
so as to start projects to the value of £70 million during the next five
years, planned on a regional basis;
(d) to prepare for recruiting the teaching staff necessary to support this
expansion;
(e) to lay a White Paper describing our plans when Parliament comes back
in January.

2. The technical colleges covered by this appendix comprise about 500
technical or commercial establishments ranging from large colleges of technology
to small technical institutes, and about 200 colleges or schools of art. They do
not include evening institutes, or agricultural and horticultural colleges and farm
institutes. The colleges are nearly all maintained by local education authorities.
Their students are all attending of their own choice, or sometimes as a condition
of their employment. Some 80 per cent, of their work is vocational. The great
bulk of it is part-time.
3. Students.—The total number of students attending the colleges in 1954
is shown below. The figures in brackets are those for male students only: —

4. Lower level work consists of junior and senior courses. Junior courses,
usually lasting for one year, are mainly for school-leavers of 15 who need to
continue their general education or to prepare for entry at 16 into industrial
apprenticeship or commercial training. Senior courses are for those who have
completed junior courses or have left school at 16 or 17. These courses usually
continue for two or three years, and are of several kinds. Some are craft apprentice
courses leading to qualifications prescribed by industry. Others prepare for the
intermediate qualifications laid down by professional institutions. There are
courses for the intermediate and final certificates of the City and Guilds of London
Institute, for the General Certificate of Education (advanced level), for the
Ordinary National Certificate* (part-time), the Ordinary National Diploma (full­
time), the Intermediate Examination in Arts and Crafts and the Intermediate
External Degree of London University.
5. Advanced courses are normally designed for those who have had a full­
time education until 18 or a part-time education until 19. They mostly lead
to the post-intermediate qualifications of the professional bodies, the City and
Guilds full technological certificate, the Higher National Certificate* (part-time),
the Higher National Diploma (full-time), the National Diploma in Design, the
various diplomas and associateships of the technical colleges themselves or the
* Courses leading up to the Ordinary and Higher National Certificates have in recent years been
held in Building, Chemistry, Applied Chemistry, Commerce, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical
Engineering, Metallurgy, Mining, Naval Architecture, Allied Physics and Textiles; and leading up to
the Higher National Certificate only in Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Production
Engineering and Mining Surveying.
"S3' final degree of London University. These courses mostly last for two, three or
four years. There are also post-graduate courses of one year, and shorter courses
at post-graduate level for scientists and technologists engaged in industry.
6. Sandwich courses last from 2 to 5 years. The students spend alternate
periods of 3 to 6 months receiving theoretical education in a technical college
and specially designed practical training in industry.

N O T E . — T h e s e figures show only the number who respectively entered
for and succeeded in the examinations, and do not give a complete figure of
wastage over the courses. Although no figures are available, there is reason
to think that perhaps no more than half of those who start the courses survive
to enter for the exams.

9. Part-time day release.—Of 372,000 part-time day students, 326,000 are
being released. This represents a spectacular increase since the war. But, of
young people under 18 in employment, only 12-3 per cent, were released in 1950
and only IT- 1 per cent, were released last year. Except in the engineering industry
the percentage of boys released is far too low. Except in public administration
the same is true of girls.

The list of projects given below is [provisional, tit -is the best we can make
on our present knowledge of the needs of industry and the gaps in the existing
pattern of colleges. It may well "have to be modified after fuller discussion with
the local authorities and industry.
The Colleges marked " A " are expected to undertake a substantial amount
of advanced work. The regional colleges concentrating on advanced work will
be chosen from among these and from a further small group of colleges which
do not figure in this appendix because the building work which they needed is
already either completed or in hand.
The projects marked with an asterisk (*) .are the concluding phases of very
